Nico Rosberg insists he is taking nothing for granted despite his strong start to the 2010 Formula One season. The 24-year-old has finished on the podium in the last two races to move onto 50 points in the drivers’ standings, which puts him in second spot, ten points off the lead.
Meanwhile, he has also out-qualified and finished ahead of Mercedes GP PETRONAS team-mate Michael Schumacher in all four races so far, despite the seven-time World Champion’s greater experience. Rosberg added that he was happy with the way that the partnership between the pair has developed over the course of the season.
He told Gazzetta dello Sport: “People probably have the wrong opinion on Michael. I myself thought that it wouldn’t be a good thing to have him as team-mate, when instead I’m positively surprised about it. “I’m happy to be ahead of him but I don’t know how long it will last. I would have been content to be at his level. Now I hope I can carry on fighting with him.”
Schumacher has achieved ten points from the four races, ensuring Mercedes GP PETRONAS lie fourth in the constructors’ championship.
