Gerhard Berger believes it is no doubt that Nico Rosberg is ready to fight for his first world title this season, if Mercedes manages to maintain his fitness level displayed at the recent Chinese Grand Prix.
With his first F1 victory last weekend in Shanghai, Rosberg now ranks sixth in the championship, twenty points Lewis Hamilton but only three lengths of Sebastian Vettel, double World Champion title.
" That does not surprise me, only those who still doubted him were surprised by its success in China. It was all a matter of time, I've never been worried about him because I always said I thought that Nico was faster than Michael [Schumacher] , "said the old Austrian driver magazine Auto Bild Motorsport .
" Now it is finally in the same league as Vettel, Hamilton, Alonso and Button. And he is ready to fight for the title, it remains to Mercedes to give a car competitive enough for him to defend his chances. "
