Rosberg blames gust of wind for Austin error

By Alan Baldwin MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg has blamed a strong gust of wind for the mistake that handed Mercedes team mate Lewis Hamilton his third Formula One world championship in Texas last Sunday. Rosberg had been leading the race when he went wide at turn 16 seven laps from the finish in Austin, an error that allowed Hamilton to pass and take victory and the title. "It was a gust of wind," he said.
