Rosberg: Mercedes GP at turning point

Tuesday 19th July 2011

Nico Rosberg hopes Mercedes GP have reached a "turning point" as they look to produce stronger performances.

The team has yet to impress this season as they sit fourth in the Constructors' Championship without a single podium finish to their credit.

Rosberg, though, is adamant that performances are heading in the right direction, saying he believes Mercedes GP are entering a period where they will see steady improvement.

"We are in a building phase at the team and we are not yet ready to produce a top car - that you have seen," he Motorsport Magazin.

"But I see how we are internally making a lot of progress, there are new people arriving and everything is falling into place so Norbert and Ross are really happen.

"I hope that now is the turning point and that we start to make steady improvements. It is definitely possible."

The German, who put his Mercedes GP through its paces on a 1.19km track at the Olympic Stadium in Munich in front of a 40,000-strong crowd on Sunday, is hoping to see more improvements at the Nurburgring.

However, he admits the notoriously ever-changing weather at the German track could flatter his team's results.

"This (the weather) may allow us to do better than we deserve at the moment actually," Rosberg said.
