Nico Rosberg is confident that his Mercedes team is making progress after Thursday's free practice session saw him finish sixth fastest.

Rosberg, who won in China and followed up with a fourth place in Bahrain, is very much in the mix at the business end of the drivers' standings and targeting another good result in Monaco.

"I'm pleased with today's practice sessions," said Rosberg. "We have the feeling that we are going in the right direction with our set-up work for this demanding track. It took a bit of a time to find the right rhythm for the circuit but it worked out well, even though we did not run very much in the afternoon because of the bad weather. I'm now really looking forward to Saturday and Sunday."

Team-mate Michael Schumacher, who has won in Monaco no fewer than five occasions, praised the improvements made to the levels of safety a the famous circuit.

"Already, during practice this morning I could see the areas where the safety has been improved further since last year, and it's great that the organisers always push to make things even better every year. The weather was mixed today, which made it hard to make any firm conclusions, but basically my feeling with the car on this circuit was positive."
