Nico Rosberg has said that Mercedes will bounce back after a shock Sebastian Vettel victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Vettel won in a time of 1:41:05, eight seconds ahead of defending champion Lewis Hamilton, with Rosberg four seconds further back in third.

"All I can say now on behalf of our team is game on Ferrari," the German told reporters.

"I don't know the exact details of the strategy because it was quite complex out there. I'm sure we did a good job, and just congratulations to Ferrari. They did an awesome job today. They deserved to win and we'll be back next race."

Vettel said that he was "speechless" following the victory, his first for his new constructor.
