You never know what might happen - however unlikely it may seem.Although he missed out on his first match point to clinch his maiden title in Brazil, Rosberg says he is relaxed about the challenge ahead in Abu Dhabi and does not see a reason to change his season-long mantra of taking one race at a time.Ive had a great week, relaxing and catching up with my family and friends, so I feel like Im in a good place. In Brazil, after the race, I was joking that I would still be taking things one race at a time. But, the more I think about it, the more thats actually not as crazy as it sounds.
