Nico Rosberg admits that the problems over the Mercedes team orders in Malaysia arose because the scenario had not been discussed properly beforehand.
Rosberg, who was told to hold station behind a fuel troubled Lewis Hamilton, insists that the situation has now been addressed.
“We’ve definitely discussed it and it’s all sorted for the future, which is important, so yes,” he said.
“The difficulty was that we hadn’t really discussed them beforehand, you know? And so that was the mistake that we did. So, important going forward is that everything is discussed and then whichever way it goes, if I’m in front and Lewis is behind then he will respect it and vice versa.
“Then it’s OK. As long as one is prepared for it and it’s discussed well and understood, that’s the important thing and that’s the main mistake we did as a team.”
Meanwhile Rosberg, who has always shone in China for Mercedes and won last year, is excited about this race.
“I’m really looking forward to this weekend. Massively motivated because I led the race here the last years, and finally winning it last year. So this track works really well for me, for the car and I’m convinced I can do a really good result here.”
