Former Mercedes man Nico Rosberg believes former teammate Lewis Hamilton will bounce back from his current slump in performance.
Hamilton, the reigning world champion, looked out of form throughout the Chinese GP weekend.
“It’s a typical Lewis phase,” said Rosberg.
“When things do not work out perfectly, he starts to lose his head and motivation a little and struggles for a while,
“You could see from his interviews that he was really suffering and didn’t really understand what was happening.
“Usually it’s one, two or three races, and those are races where you, as his opponent in the championship, need to capitalise." the German said to Globo
Rosberg, who was Hamilton's teammate between 2013 and 2016, added:
“Sebastian couldn’t do that in China and that was a big setback for him because Lewis always comes back so strongly.”
