Nico Rosberg has said that it is "looking good" for him and Mercedes ahead of this weekend's Chinese Grand Prix.

The 29-year-old has enjoyed a fine start to the season and he secured a fifth-place finish in the second practice session before this weekend's race in Shanghai.

"It's looking good. We have an amazing car and we have to have a look at where we are," Sky Sports News quotes him as saying.

"Of course, on one lap I think we'll be quickest and race pace we need to review now if we are looking okay or not."

Rosberg will be looking to improve upon the third-place finish that he managed at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
