Before the podium ceremony at Monza, Nico Rosberg chatted in Italian with Mercedes’ Evan Short and Felipe Massa, describing Lewis Hamilton’s win as “lucky”. Hamilton was in the room but does not speak Italian.

Update: Here’s a translation of what was said courtesy of Enrico at Muretto Box F.1:

Rosberg: “st, he has been so lucky. How did it fking happen?”
Short: “You need luck in life.”
Rosberg: “Damn it, really.”
Short: “You will have it too [regarding the luck].”
Rosberg: “No, I already had my dose of luck. However…”
Short: “The Tifosi will be out there. It was a difficult race [for them].”
Rosberg: “I didn’t expect so much margin.”
Massa: “Me neither.”
Massa: “When I saw you was flying away, I tried to save the situation.”
Rosberg: “st, a great advantage.”

Rosberg also remarked “che culo” a few times, an exclamation which roughly means “you are very lucky”.

I dont know it this has already been translated, I just had the pre-podium conversation translated.

:well: Slightly impolite by Rosberg... cursing and swearing about Hamilton in Italian behind his back.

Conversation with Evan Short
Nico Rosberg: “Damn, he`s lucky... so lucky. How in hell was that possible?”
Evan Short: “In life you need that luck.”
Nico Rosberg: “What a luck. Che culo. What a luck!!!!!.
Evan Short: “You`ll also have it (I guess he means luck)”
Nico Rosberg: “No, I already had my load of luck. But... what a luck!!!!…”
[Louis Hamilton with his back to Rosberg, drapes a white towel over his head.]
Evan Short: “The Tifosi out there sad for them... was a difficult race [for the Tifosi? I guess?].”

Felipe enters the room: conversation with Felipe Massa
Nico Rosberg: “I didn’t expect so far behind.”
Felipe Massa: “Neither did I expect" (nervous laugh by Massa). When I saw... you was flying away, I tried to save what can be saved.”
Nico Rosberg: “st, a great advantage. Damn, what a lucky trick." (refering to Hamilton again).
