Mercedes have set their sights on a podium finish at the Australian Grand Prix, according to Nico Rosberg.
The Brackley-based team were well off the pace of the front runners in the season opener in Bahrain with Rosberg finishing fifth and Michael Schumacher settling for sixth place.
Rosberg, though, is confident they will up their game at Albert Park next weekend as the MGP W01 is likely to perform better there.
"The track suits us better than the one in Bahrain," he told Germany's Bild. "We are aiming to get our first podium. I don't think that we will both be on the podium, but one of us could do it."
The 24-year-old upstaged his more illustrious compatriot and team-mate in both qualifying and the race itself in Bahrain, and the result gave him immense satisfaction.
"I am happy that I finished ahead of Michael," he said. "There is a 'super duel' between the two us and it will get even tougher as the season progresses.
"It is important to beat your team-mate as he drives the same car."
