Despite being outqualified by his teammate on Saturday, Nico Rosberg made the perfect start to his new campaign by taking the chequered flag in Melbourne.Both he and Lewis Hamilton were stunned at the start as the Ferraris of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen swept past, leaving Rosberg in third and the pole sitter all the way down in sixth.The German kept pace though, and the team"s decision to use the harder compound tyre after the race had been red flagged proved decisive as race leader Vettel was forced to pit again.Off the back of a hat-trick of victories at the end of 2015, Rosberg has now won four grands prix in a row for the first time in his career. With Hamilton showing good pace and the gap to rivals Ferrari looking smaller, the championship battle looks set to be much, much closer than the last.Hooray!
