believes that he has the edge on this weekend, and admits that he has to beat him in Bahrain.
The German already languishes 17 points behind Hamilton in the Drivers Championship and has beaten him in just two of the last ten races.
Rosberg has a good history in Bahrain though and believes that he is the better Mercedes man this weekend
When asked, he said: “Do I think so? Yes. But I also thought that at the last two races. I'm here to make it happen.
"I've looked at the videos again from last year because I need to improve in battle. There are things I could have done differently last year to win that race, so I'm looking at that and I hope to follow it up well.
“It was already important [to turn things around] in Malaysia and that was two races ago," said Rosberg. It doesn't change. Every race is important. He's 17 points ahead, that's a fact.
"I need to try to get points back as soon as possible - it's not more important here or whatever."
