Rosberg hopes for positive end of season

Nico Rosberg scored 17 points so far this season. The German was unable to score any points in the last two races held in Asia though and is determined to finish the 2008 Formula One season on a positive note. The Williams F1 driver finished last year's Brazilian Grand Prix in fourth.

"Interlagos is a really fun track to drive as it has a bit of everything - gradient changes, a complete mix of corners and it runs in an anti-clockwise direction which presents a different challenge for the drivers," Rosberg said looking ahead to this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix. "We had a strong race there last year and I finished fourth. As we haven't had a great showing in the past two races, it would be nice to do well again here and end the season on a positive note. It's going to be difficult with this year's harder tyres, and we'll have to cover a lot of ground with the car on Friday to get to the optimum set-up."
