I don't have a source right now, sorry, but Rosberg mentioned how he'd have a chance to attack Hamilton at turn 3. In other words, turn 1 is off limits unless Hamilton has a very poor start. Could that not simply be due to the nature of the track? There is quite a short run down to T1 and the corne...
