Rosberg: We're the fourth best team

Nico Rosberg enjoyed a strong start of the 2008 Formula 1 season. The German scored his maiden podium finish in Melbourne, but his team struggled in Malaysia. Rosberg though isn't too worried yet and believes his team is at least the fourth best team at the grid at the moment.

Speaking about his start of the season Rosberg told our colleagues at autosport.com: "I am happy. A podium is a podium. We got it ourselves. Okay, Kovalainen was unlucky with the safety car, but it wasn't a super gift for us.

"That result was really great and good for the team and everything. So I think we can accept to have a little bit of a worse weekend in Malaysia, especially since it was because of the asphalt. We will come back better in Bahrain. I still think we are the fourth best team."
