"I think the target for Sunday is to extract the best race we can, and then we go from there. The nature of the track suits our car well, I expect nothing else than to be very strong tomorrow," the German told ESPN.

"Mercedes is very strong and has an advantage, but it would be nice to give them a hard time tomorrow, it has been a bit too chilled for them in the last months."

Meanwhile, Rosberg despite admitting that Hamilton and Vettel were better than him today, insists that he a good chance on Sunday.

"Lewis did well and especially Sebastian, who was surprising in the Ferrari, so hats off for him," Rosberg told ESPN.

But I think I have a good chance tomorrow at the start as I will be on the clean side of the grid. I will try to attack Seb off the line and then there are some good opportunities also to catch Lewis. So I very much look forward to the race. I will push hard."
