Nico Rosberg is convinced he will still be at Mercedes for many years, as he prepares for the final season of his current contract. Rosbergs future with F1s world champions is likely to prove one of the main off-track talking points of the 2016 season with the contract extension he signed two years ago expiring in December.The 30-year-old joined Mercedes when they bought the Brawn team in 2010 and over the last three seasons has been partnered by Lewis Hamilton, whose deal runs until 2018. But although Rosberg has enjoyed periods where he has held the upper hand, Hamilton has finished ahead in the championship in all three years - beating the German to the world title in 2014 and 2015.However, despite suggestions that either the team or Rosberg himself could look to make a change at the end of the year if the intra-team balance of power does not change, the German isnt anticipating a move anytime soon.Im sure there is going to be many more years to go here at Mercedes, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Craig Slater caught up with Nico Rosberg after the German drove Mercedes 2016 car for the first time I feel comfortable here, I really enjoy being part of the team, weve achieved so much, and theres even more to achieve in the future.Mercedes reveal the new W07Despite the success of the Hamilton-Rosberg partnership since Mercedes arrival as F1s dominant force - they have won 80 per cent of the races and back-to-back championship doubles - team boss Toto Wolff admitted in November the teams biggest weakness is the dynamic of the relationship between the drivers.Wolff went further by warning that the team could break up the pairing if relations deteriorated to the point where the wider harmony inside the Brackley outfit was damaged. Mercedes released the first images of their W07 ahead of testing Hamilton and Rosberg were both present at Silverstone last Friday for the shakedown of Mercedes new W07 car and the German acknowledged that this was the time of year when they particularly had to work towards the same goal.At the moment were working together because its in our interests that the cars as good as possible to make sure there is no other opposition and its just between the two of us, he said.Although Hamilton comfortably won last years drivers title, Rosberg ended the campaign in some of best form of his career with a run of six poles and three wins in a row.And despite his team-mates run of title victories, Rosberg insisted: I look forward to going up against Lewis again. Hes been driving at an extremely high level and thats the sort of battle I relish - thats why I do sport for and compete for.The first Barcelona test starts on Monday February 22 and the Sky Sports F1 Digital team will be providing live commentary from dawn until dusk on all four days of both Barcelona tests while Sky Sports News HQ will also deliver live updates from trackside.

Perhaps this is the most scary part: that you can assemble all the best people in one place, give everybody all the resources they need, and yet whatever you do will still always be a leap in the dark. Nobody can truly be sure of anything.Jonathan Liew used these words in The Telegraph this week to describe the sense of uncertainty around English footballs huge, and hugely resourced, development hub St Georges Park. The FA could not have thrown any more money at the facility and its staff, yet it is now 50 years since the countrys last major tournament victory.Australian cricket has it own performance and development greenhouse, the National Cricket Centre in Brisbane. It also has a similarly limitless amount of funds to throw around, bolstered by multi-million dollar television deals and strong participation numbers among juniors that make it Australias favourite sport.But the certainty thought to be provided by this infrastructure lasts only as long as Australias cricketers play at home. Their record of success in Asia is about as good as Englands in World Cups, and this weeks defeat to a transitional Sri Lanka in Pallekele felt something like the Three Lions demise at the hands of Iceland - if Sri Lanka were that organised.Certainly there was an air of bewilderment about the selection chairman Rod Marsh as he tried to make sense of the result, which puts Australias No. 1 ranking at considerable risk. Ostensibly speaking about the ODI team to play after the Tests, his mind remained fixed on what hed just witnessed over the previous five days. In response to a query about the full limited-overs squad being used, Marsh replied: It depends how were going. If we play like we played in this Test match therell be a heck of a lot of players playing.I dont think we can pick a better team. Weve got all the people who deserve to be here on numbers. People talk about the way we play spin bowling, well theres no doubt about the fact we dont play it as well as the way we play pace bowling in Australia. But thats something thats a work in progress. Everyones had the preparation for this tour, we couldnt have done anymore, and we had an opportunity after bowling them out for 117, we only make 200 - unbelievable.To some degree, Australia were beaten in Pallekele by a combination of circumstances and surprises. Steve OKeefe was injured at an awkward moment; David Warner was short of match practice after a broken finger; the skills of Kusal Mendis and Lakshan Sandakan were not widely known to the tourists before their arrival, and in the case of the latter footage was scarce. But they were also undone by problems glimpsed often before: porous techniques allowing too many balls to hit pads or stumps; mental errors with the bat thhat would not take place in Australia; indifferent bowling to the tail.ddddddddddddMarsh cannot see how any of this related to preparation or resources.What else can we do really? he said. We send them off to India, we send them to other parts of the world where the ball turns, we played Australia A series in India last year and they batted well against good spin bowling. But it gets to a Test match and whether its the extra pressure of it being a Test match, whether its the fact that we historically havent done well on turning pitches on the subcontinent. Whether that plays on their minds Im not sure. But its a work in progress. There were some positive signs as well. I thought Joe Burns played really well in that second innings after perhaps not looking too sound in the first innings. He went to plan B and he looked really good until he didnt hit one...Another glimpse of better things was offered by Mitchell Marsh who got into both of his innings nicely before small errors led to his dismissal. Marsh has been the subject of much scrutiny over his place, as a project player not yet pulling his weight as a batsman in particular. But the selectors are determined to persevere with him for reasons of balance, and talent. They hope the investment leads to greater returns in Galle.To look at the way he batted in this game, in the context of the game where, apart from a bloke who got 176, he was one of the best batsmen in the game, Rod Marsh said. But he got 31 and 25 and thats the sad part. He started beautifully on both occasions, but that can happen on pitches like this, you get on with your name on it.He missed one in the first innings, which he wouldnt like, at least hes got his pad in front of this one, but he is in good nick. His bowlings probably kept him in the side to a degree, but his bowlings going to be less important here than his batting. Hes got a big reach as well, and I think that helps often on turning pitches.Pallekele and Galle are about as far from the manufactured spin wickets of the NCC as it is possible to get. The certainties of Australia fade away, replaced by Asian mystery and surprise. In a situation where Australia are 1-0 down to a team they should be beating, the visitors must try to hold their nerve and believe they have done the work to be successful. In the middle of a series there is really no alternative.Its about each individual having a game plan that can work, the captain Steven Smith said. For some it might be being a little bit more aggressive. For others it might be sitting on the crease and using their bat out in front. We just have to find a way.
