Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Nico Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonen and More

Nico Rosberg's impressive start to the 2016 Formula One season continued in Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix at the Sakhir circuit, where the German claimed his second victory of the year and fifth in succession stretching back to the previous campaign.

But despite establishing an early lead in the drivers' standings, Rosberg is refusing to think too far ahead, warning his Mercedes team must remain mindful of the threat posed by Ferrari.

Much like the season-opening race in Australia, Ferrari made Mercedes' job much easier in Bahrain, as Sebastian Vettel suffered an engine failure before the grand prix had even started and Kimi Raikkonen made a substandard getaway from the line.

The 2007 world champion's poor start, however, allowed the Finn to embark upon a heroic recovery drive, and Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has explained why Raikkonen's surge to second place offered a reminder of his qualities.

Stoffel Vandoorne, meanwhile, presented an early indication of his potential to McLaren-Honda in Bahrain, where he deputised for the injured Fernando Alonso.

The reigning GP2 champion became the latest in a long line of drivers to score a point on his grand prix debut, and the Belgian has revealed his satisfaction after maximising what was expected to be a one-off opportunity.

Also making the most of their opportunities are the brand-new Haas team, who claimed a solid points finish for the second straight race.

Romain Grosjean's fifth-place finish means the American outfit currently sit fifth in the constructors' championship, and while team principal Guenther Steiner doubts whether they can hold on to that position, he has set Haas a challenge for the remainder of 2016.

Closing this week's roundup is Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who has expressed his frustration with F1's handling of the widely unpopular qualifying format.
