Summary Nico Rosberg says he was not even thinking about equalling any records.
MONACO (AFP) - Nico Rosberg stuck to the professional sportsman s most stubbornly-used credo on Wednesday, when he denied he was even thinking about equalling any records ahead of this weekend s Monaco Grand Prix.
The championship-leading German, who holds a 34-point advantage in the drivers title race, has won the last three Monaco races and has a chance to do something on Sunday only previously achieved by Ayrton Senna.
The great Brazilian won five in a row from 1989 -- and six in all - and Rosberg, with a fourth consecutive win, would pull clear of Frenchman Alain Prost and Briton Damon Hill if he is successful. They both achieved hat-tricks on the unforgiving Mediterranean street circuit.
"I m aware of the statistics of course, but it s not something I m concentrating on - or even thinking about," he told reporters.
"That s because, as I ve said, even in the last couple of races, what I want to do this weekend is win this race, just because it s Monaco and I love winning here.
"That s it, that s all that I m thinking about.... It s a great race to win - that s it.
"It always gives a positive boost to win this race, for sure. That s like any other race, but this is a bit extra. I love racing here and I would love to win on Sunday..."
Rosberg has blitzed to the top of the title race this season with three wins in a row before his collision with Mercedes team-mate and defending world champion Lewis Hamilton at the Spanish Grand Prix.
Hamilton is without a win in seven races since clinching his third drivers title in Texas last year, and 12 months ago was deprived of victory in Monaco by a bungled pit-call by Mercedes when he looked certain to win.
Hamilton s only win in the Principality was in 2008 on his way to his first world title.
