Nico Rosberg insists he is still improving as a driver despite entering his 30s last year.

The championship leader has been in F1 since 2006 and with Mercedes since 2010, alongside Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton.

But 30-year-old Rosberg says he is getting better with experience and puts that at the heart of his 43-point championship lead.

“It’s an ongoing process,” said Rosberg.

“I’m still on my upwards slope, for sure. The last two years have been very valuable experiences, battling for race wins, all the time, battling for the championship.

“I think I’ve made further progress this year. The first four races were in particular circumstances also, and for me they’ve gone very, very well and cleanly of course, and for my rivals they haven’t.

“Experience is very, very valuable in this sport, that’s the key thing, for doing one fast lap or doing a race well or doing a whole season well, and things like that”
