Nico Rosberg unimpressed with former F1 nemesis Lewis Hamilton and urges Mercedes to ‘have a word with him’
Most of the drivers took the opportunity to test out the conditions on intermediate tyres aꦍs rain fell during the final hour of practice in Barcelona on Saturday morning.
But Hamilton decided against running on the wet-weather tyres, something that Rosberg - who pipped t꧒he seven-time world champion to the world title in 2016 before retiring fr𝓡om F1 - questioned.
"Look, now Lewis is in a rush to get his belts on because he was ဣout of the car,” Rosberg said during Sky’s coverage.
"I t🔥hink Bradley [Lord, Mercedes communications director] should have had a word with him.
"Maybe this isꩲ Bradley, that's why Lewis is back in the car.”
Having revealed he had sp🃏oken to Mercedes after the session, Rosberg ad🍬ded: “Lewis could have perhaps made a little bit of a better effort in FP3 and been out there more to learn a bit more.
“It was in fact his decision to be in the garage for al𒁃l that time and to also go out a b🔯it late on the softs. So they [Mercedes] did say it was perhaps not 100 percent ideal.
“But then again, as a seven-time world champion you could a༒llow yourself to do🌳 that.”
Hamiltꦉon showedไ potential signs of improvement for Mercedes after a difficult opening day of practice by ending FP3 third behind the two Red Bulls.
The Briton, who admitted at the end of Friday that he feared for his top-10 chances in qualifying, was just over four-tenths shy of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen’s benchmark.
