SAU PAULO, Brazil -- Championship leader Nico Rosberg says his record of two victories in the last two years at the Brazilian Grand Prix does not make him the favourite this weekend.Rosberg can secure the title with a win at Interlagos on Sunday, while his championship rival Lewis Hamilton needs victory just to ensure his championship chances go down to the last round in Abu Dhabi. Rosberg has won both Brazilian Grands Prix under the current set of regulations -- while Hamilton has not won in nine attempts during his career -- but the championship leader says past records count for nothing this weekend.I love the track, Rosberg said. Its a great track, feels good and Ive always gone well here, so Im looking forward to the weekend. I have great memories also from those two wins, those were very special, but at tthe same time, this year we all start from zero.ddddddddddddThose past wins are not going to help me get the win this weekend. We all start from the same place and I just need to do a good job this weekend and thats it.Hamilton could not explain why his Interlagos record is so patchy, but said he had nothing to lose as he heads into the race weekend.I dont really know why Ive not won here, so I dont really have an answer for you. I try every year and Ill try harder this year.Ive had lots of great, or mixed experiences here, so its a real challenge to come here and try to win for the first time, something that Nico has experienced in the past. Thats my goal and nothing really to lose. ' ' '
