Rosberg plans to fight in the midfield

After his last day of testing of the season, Nico Rosberg believes the team is ready for the opening race in Melbourne next week.

Rosberg believes that the Williams team is among the best midfield teams at the moment, but sees great development potential in his team for the future.

« Now that we have reached the end of testing, I think we are probably one of the major forces in the midfield, but we have to wait for Melbourne to be sure, » said Rosberg.

« There is great potential for development throughout the year with the new rules. If we take the right development direction from the start, it will allow us to take a good step forward, so we will do everything to make it happen. »

« I would like to thank everyone at the factory for their magnificent and hard work on the FW31. In particular, the testing team for their motivation and dynamism, which they demonstrated throughout the winter, despite the testing ban during the season that was implemented. »

« With the challenging 2008 season in the background, it was wonderful to see everyone’s determination, and I am extremely grateful to them for that. »
