Nico Rosberg confident he will bounce back from adversity
Nico Rosberg believes that he is always be able to bounce back from adversity after his frustrating afternoon in Hockenheim saw him slip further behind Lewis Hamilton in the World Championship battle.
Asked about Hamilton's recent strong run, the German pointed out that his teammate has always been a tough competitor.
"Lewis doesn't just seem strong in the recent Grands Prix, Lewis is strong, a big difference there," said Rosberg. "So it's always going to be a battle against him. Today I'm very disappointed because I had an awesome qualifying yesterday and I was feeling good. Good race pace on Friday. So I was really optimistic and thinking I could bring it home today. Just very disappointed that everything went wrong."
"I have enough evidence to show myself that I'm always strongest after difficult moments. Time and time again. So no issues there."
Meanwhile Rosberg said there was an issue with the consistency of decisions from the FIA Stewards.
"It's a difficulty that we have in the sport, because no two incidents are the same, and we can't have the same stewards going round the world with us. So it's always going to be a challenge, and it always needs further, it can always be improved, for sure I'm not saying that because of this example today, but in general. It is a difficulty in an area where we can always do better."
He insisted that the Hockenheim incident could not be compared with his last lap clash with Hamilton in Austria: "It's not comparable, different positioning. I was clearly ahead this time, so it was not comparable."
