Clark and Steve prepare for Bahrain.

Motorsports Mondial with Nasir Hameed.

Is this Nico Rosberg’s make or break season going up against team mate Schumacher?

“I’m going into the season very optimistically,  I feel very, very comfortable in the car, very confident.

But at the same time I know it’s going to be as difficult as ever, because obviously I have a rather strong team-mate. So we’ll have to wait and see.”

“My motivation is to work with Michael and try to help the team have a strong car, because without a strong car we won’t be able to do anything. And I think until now we’ve done quite well, but we need to keep pushing, And as the season goes on it’s important that we get some very strong results.”

“Your closest comparison is your team-mate, so my aim this year is too look good compared to my team-mate, of course.”
