German reckons Silver Arrows are in a better position than last year
Nico Rosberg said Mercedes are shaping up better than last year and hoped the reliability of their new car will help them challenge Formula 1's pacesetters in 2012.
The German completed more laps than anyone - 128 - on the first day of the final pre-season at the Circuit de Catalunya and set the fifth fastest time.
"We had a very good day. The reliability was the most important thing - to do lots of laps and that worked well today so I was able to learn a lot," Rosberg said. "We did some very good tests, always very consistent conditions out there - the track is amazing for testing at the moment, probably too good because it's a condition you won't find again at races.
"The progress as a team is good. I'm pleased with that because the team is working better than last year, they've built a better car than last year, everything has gone more to plan. There's no problems so we can get some really good testing. He added: "We could fully concentrate on the performance of the car, whereas last year we were concentrating on reliability." - http://www1.skysports.com/
