Nico Rosberg: “Lewis always comes back”

World champion in 2016 after a tough fight with Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg would like to point out that the Briton has a significant capacity to react even when events do not seem to be turning in his favor, as is the case at the start of the 2018 campaign.

After a Chinese Grand Prix, where the defending champion was unable to reach the podium, beaten by the trio Daniel Ricciardo - Valtteri Bottas – Kimi Räikkönen, his former teammate, commented on the result of the event on his Youtube page.

“Lewis struggled all weekend. When things don't go perfectly, he starts to lose a little of his "momentum" and a little of motivation and then he struggles a little in the following races, emphasizes Rosberg.

As opponents you must maximize at this time and Sebastian Vettel failed to do that, which is a big setback for him. Because Lewis always comes back, When Lewis comes back, he will come back so strong that he will be almost unbeatable. »

Lewis Hamilton finished on the podium twice in Australia (2nd) and Bahrain (3rd), but still failed to win in 2018.
