Rosberg: Keeping fourth place will be tough

21 April 2008

The Williams Formula 1 team is currently fourth in the constructors' championship standings. Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima showed a promising pace in the first three rounds of the Formula 1 championship but Rosberg believes it will be difficult to keep fourth position for the team.

Kazuki Nakajima finished in sixth position at the opening race in Melbourne with team-mate Rosberg claiming his maiden podium. A great start of the season for the Williams duo earning them nine points in only the first race. In Bahrain Rosberg scored another point but according to the 22-year-old German it won't be easy to remain fourth in the constructors' championship.

"The battle is very tight out there and it won't be easy at all to hold onto the fourth position in the constructors' championship," Rosberg told F1.com. "However, this is our target for this year and we'll do anything we can to achieve it. With some luck, we might end up on the podium again.

"I consider the podium place to be one of the many steps which one takes during a career. And to achieve it shows that things are progressing and therefore it is a nice motivation boost. It also came a bit earlier than I expected, although I felt it would be possible during this season. I'm here to win so there is more to achieve."
