Nico Rosberg: “I would obviously like to be further up the grid, however unfortunately I lost some time on my quick lap after a poor first corner which cost me a few tenths and left me with a lot of tyre vibrations for the rest of the lap. However I’m quite confident that we can compete very well tomorrow as we have worked hard on our race pace over the weekend. I hope that I can move forward a few places and score some good points in front of our Malaysian supporters and our partner PETRONAS.”

Nico Rosberg
“We’ve had a decent start today at one of our home races here in Malaysia so I’m quite happy. We learned a lot about how to use our tyres, and I feel things are going in the right direction but I don’t know where we are compared to the others. It will be very interesting how we can manage the situation on Sunday.”
Ross Brawn
“We’ve had two good practice sessions today and achieved a lot of positive work. We know that we need to focus on tyre consistency and durability, and we learnt some valuable things today which we can hopefully carry into the race. We also need to make sure that we follow the track evolution over the next couple of days so that we end up with the right car for the race on Sunday. Overall, a very good start to one of our home races here in Malaysia.”
Norbert Haug
“Our focus today was on long runs under race conditions to learn about the best usage of both compounds Pirelli are supplying here. Sepang is a very demanding track in this respect with both heat and humidity contributing to the challenge on this wonderful circuit in the home country of our title partner PETRONAS. We learned a lot today and hopefully created a basis to work from tomorrow and on Sunday.”

Watch Nico Rosberg´s post-race blog on YouTube after finishing 12th at the Australian GP 2012 in Melbourne: “A fantastic start.”
Nico Rosberg analysiert im Video an seine Fans auf YouTube den Australien GP 2012: “Das war ein super Start von sieben vor auf vier. Vielen Dank an meinen Ingenieur.”
Nico Rosberg starting from P7 tomorrow at the Australian GP 2012: “We are happy to see that we have obviously improved the car over the winter. It seems that we can be strong in the race as well from what we learned during practice this weekend. Unfortunately I didn’t get the most out of it today. I didn’t quite find the right set-up as we have a lot of new things on the car and it will take a few races to get it working perfectly. I also made a small mistake on my last lap which cost me some time. Seventh place is still a good position though and I will be doing my best to move forward tomorrow.”

MELBOURNE – 16 MARCH – PRACTICE
Nico Rosberg
“I’m pleased with the start to our weekend today in these mixed conditions. We learned a lot for the race here in Melbourne over the two sessions, so it was a very productive day. I feel very comfortable in the car which is the most important thing for me today. So all went well and we had no surprises, however to find out where we really are compared to the others was impossible in these conditions. So I’m really looking forward to the next two days here.”
Ross Brawn
“It’s obviously been a patchy day with the weather conditions, however we have achieved a reasonable amount of work on varying fuel levels. Whilst the overall picture is still not clear, Michael and Nico seem quite happy with the cars at the end of today’s two practice sessions. Tomorrow should see a dry morning, and we will start to get a better perspective. Everything ran smoothly today which is a tribute to the team, and everyone at our factories in Brackley and Brixworth has done a very good job to prepare for this first race. So far at least, it’s going well.”
Norbert Haug
“A decent start for us on this first Friday of the new Formula One season. Michael felt well in our new car, as did Nico. Both drivers concentrated on race simulations with different programmes, and both were on the medium tyres as the team took the decision to save a set of options for the better track conditions tomorrow. Our team worked perfectly today which gave us a good start into the new season.”

Nico Rosberg
“Ich freue mich sehr auf den Saisonbeginn nächste Woche in Australien. Meine Winterpause verlief geradezu perfekt – ich hatte genügend Zeit, um mich ausgiebig zu erholen und mich mit meinem Trainingsprogramm optimal vorzubereiten. Die Wintertestfahrten verliefen erfolgreich, wir konnten viele Kilometer mit unserem F1 W03 zurücklegen und sind bereit für das erste Rennen. Ich liebe die Atmosphäre in Melbourne. Es ist eine tolle Stadt und die Fans sind einfach fantastisch. Nach all der harten Arbeit und den vielen Spekulationen im Winter wird es sehr interessant sein, zu sehen, wo wir im Vergleich zu den anderen Teams am Samstagnachmittag nach dem Qualifying stehen. Bevor ich nach Australien reise, lege ich noch ein Fahrradtrainingsprogramm in Neuseeland ein. Das hilft mir, mich auf die Zeitumstellung und das Klima in ‘Down Under’ einzustellen.”

Die Schlüsselfrage ist natürlich, wie wir im Leistungsvergleich zu unserer Konkurrenz dastehen und es wird interessant sein, zu sehen, wie sich alles am nächsten Wochenende gestaltet. Ich möchte mich bei unserem gesamten Team in Brackley und Brixworth für die harte Arbeit während der Wintermonate bedanken und hoffe, dass wir alle mit einer starken Saison belohnen können. Melbourne gehörte schon immer zu den Rennen mit einer der besten Atmosphären im Rennkalender und die Stadt ist sicherlich eines meiner Lieblingsreiseziele – ich freue mich auf eine interessante Woche.”

Nico Rosberg
“I’m really looking forward to the start of the new season in Australia next weekend. I had a perfect winter break with plenty of rest, a good training camp and a successful pre-season test programme where we were able to put a lot of mileage on our F1 W03 car. So we are really ready for the first race. I always love the atmosphere in Melbourne; it’s a great city and the fans are fantastic. After all of the hard work, and all of the speculation, it will be really interesting to see where we are on Saturday afternoon after qualifying. Before heading to Australia, I will be in New Zealand for a bike training camp to help me adjust to
the time difference and the climate ‘Down Under’.”
Ross Brawn, Team Principal
“The build-up to the start of a new season is always an exciting time, no matter how many times you have experienced it, and everyone at the team is looking forward to the action getting underway in Melbourne next week. We are well prepared, both at the factory and on track, as a result of our structured development and testing plan, and I am confident that we are in a good position. How this translates to our performance relative to the competition is, of course, the key question and it will be interesting to see how it all shapes out next weekend. My thanks to all of the team at Brackley and Brixworth for their hard work and dedication over the winter months and I hope we will be able to reward them with a strong season. Melbourne has always been one of the atmospheric races on the calendar, and certainly one of my favourite cities to visit, so I look forward to a good week ahead.”
