Rosberg said the opposite, he said when you're ahead and expected to win the championship the pressure is immense to the point where you cannot even put together laps to get pole position anymore because the pressure was so great. He said being the under dog and behind in the standings the pressure is relieved because you're not expected to win so you have nothing to lose, and thus all the pressure is gone.
Personally I would take Rosberg's opinion because he actually won a title, and it actually went down to the wire exactly like Lewis's and max's championship battle. So the experience Rosberg had would be most applicable to this situation.
