Nico Rosberg is not expecting an easy ride int he German Grand Prix, despite topping both Friday practice sessions.
The German lost the championship lead for the first time last weekend in Hungary, but goes into the German Grand Prix as the previous winner of the event which was last contested in 2014.
Speaking at the end of Friday practice, Rosberg said that despite a straight forward first day of running, Saturday and Sunday would pose more of a challenge.
"I don't think my teammate was pushing so we didn't see what he can do and I expect a much tougher fight tomorrow. But it's a good start to the weekend," Rosberg said.
Speaking of the differneces between a week ago, Rosberg said that the older asphalt of the Hockenheimring made driving a bit more tricky.
"It's great to be back in Hockenheim, at this historic track. The asphalt is old, so the way the tyres work is completely different to Hungary, where it was so new," he said. "Here it's much more snappy and more of a challenge, but in general our car worked well out there today."
"Saying that, we were very quick on Friday in Hungary, but then on Saturday and Sunday everyone else was very close. So that's a warning not to get over-excited," he added.
