Max Verstappen held his nerve when those around him fell in Germany and Nico Rosberg believes the Dutchman's second win of the season was well deserved.
After a difficult start and a spin of his own Verstappen managed the treacherous conditions and won his second race in three Grand Prix. With the win, it established his grip on third in the Drivers' Championship as well as closed the gap to Valtteri Bottas to just 22 points.
After Verstappen's triumph at the Hockenheimring 2016 World Champion, Nico Rosberg had his say on the Red Bull driver's performance and was full of praise.
"Verstappen had a great racing pace, did everything well and deserved this victory," Rosberg said on his YouTube channel.
"It is already his second win of the season and he is only 22 points from Bottas in a Mercedes. He is well ahead of the Ferraris, who generally have a better car than Verstappen.

"He is incredible this year, he is doing very well this season and is currently only 61 points behind Lewis. That is quite impressive halfway through the season."
