NEXT RACE - 25th May

'Williams are the fourth-best team'

Thursday 27th March 2008

Nico Rosberg is refusing to let his disastrous Malaysian Grand Prix dampen his spirits.

The German scored his maiden podium at the Australian Grand Prix, but he followed that up with a 14th-placed finish in Malaysia.

Williams blamed the lack of grip generated from the FW30's tyres on the Sepang track as the reason for their struggles in Malaysia.

However, Rosberg remains happy with the eight points he has to his name after two races.

"I am happy," he told Autosport. "A podium is a podium. We got it ourselves. Okay, (Heikki) 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."
