The trio of wins to close out 2015 gave him a boost heading into the winter that carried over in the new season they were important. Yet come this year’s race in Mexico City, that victory must be considered as part of the transformation that Rosberg has undergone in the past 12 months. Rosberg’s win, in the grand scheme of things, seemed meaningless. Fresh from wrapping up his third F1 title one week earlier in Austin, Texas, second place was by no means a bad result for Lewis Hamilton. The on-track race offered little in the way of drama. Hundreds of thousands of fans packed into the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez last November to welcome F1 back after a 23-year absence from Mexico, making the grand prix one of the events of the season. 12 months on from the victory that, at the time, seemed merely academical, Nico Rosberg returns to Mexico City with his first Formula 1 drivers’ title within reach.
