Webber: Schu won't beat Rosberg

Mark Webber believes Nico Rosberg will get the better of his more illustrious team-mate Michael Schumacher at Mercedes GP this year.

Round one of the 2010 Championship went to Rosberg in Bahrain after he qualified and finished ahead of his German compatriot.

Red Bull driver Webber expects the battle between the two will be very close, but he doesn't think Schumi will beat Rosberg.

"It depends what you mean by competitive because he was competitive in Bahrain. Is him winning by 60 seconds like he used to in the past competitive?" Webber told the BBC..

"Winning by those sorts of margins will be tough for Schumacher this season but, yes, he will be competitive. Whether he can be as dominant as he was in the past will be another subject.

"I wouldn't expect him to beat his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg - I expect it to be close. Rosberg is competitive and I would say Schumacher is too."
