Mercedes drivers optimistic about Abu Dhabi

4 November 2011

Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg are confident of another strong result as Mercedes heads to Abu Dhabi next weekend. The silver arrows enjoyed a promising afternoon last time out in India, with the seven-time World Champion and his team-mate finishing fifth and sixth.

“The season's end is coming up with some quite spectacular races,” says Schumacher. “The twilight race certainly delivers a very unique atmosphere and challenge and I truly enjoyed driving in those conditions last.

“I hope that we can carry on our good team performance next weekend, at the home race for (joint team owner) Aabar and I look forward to scoring more points.”

Rosberg is also keen to build of the successes of Greater Noida.

“I felt very comfortable in my car over the Indian Grand Prix weekend and I'm planning to build on the result there in Abu Dhabi,” says the younger German. “I hope that we can get closer to the fastest teams for the last couple of races this season and we are pushing very hard to achieve that.”
