Rosberg anticipating tough outing

Nico Rosberg is delighted to be back in Bahrain but he is expecting a difficult weekend following his surprise win in China.

Rosberg secured his maiden pole position in Shanghai but few expected him to maintain his pace into Sunday's race, only for the German and Mercedes to shock their rivals with a superb performance from the front. Conditions will be vastly different in Bahrain with higher track temperatures likely to increase the pressure on tyres and Rosberg knows it will be a very difficult weekend for everyone.


"This is a track I really enjoy. I have some very good memories here, but it's difficult to know where we are going to be," Rosberg told a news conference.


"In Shanghai we did very well, but previously we did have issues in the races, so it's possible it could be a bit more difficult here.


"The engineers have been making good progress. We are learning very quickly. We did a good job and got the best out of it. The situation is different here with the temperatures and that might mean a bit more of a challenge."


Reflecting on his first Grand Prix victory, Rosberg added: "Everything came together. I was on top of my game all weekend. The car and the set-up were working quite well, it was enough to win by some margin. All in all it was a really strong weekend."
