Mercedes F1 team chief Niki Lauda has urged Lewis Hamilton to tackle the forthcoming Malaysian grand Prix with all guns blazing to stop Nico Rosberg’s impressive run of form and victories.
Lauda said on RTL, “Lewis has to bounce back with all his might in Malaysia, to end Nico’s incredible run.”
Rosberg won the Singapore Grand Prix in convincing style, fending off a strong late race challenge from Daniel Ricciardo and thus bagging maximum points, while teammate and title rival Hamilton finished third.
Th result saw Rosberg take the lead in the championship standings by eight points with six races left to run this season.
The German has won all three races since the summer break, claiming the winner’s trophy at Monza and Spa-Francorchamps, two of the sport’s iconic venues, and recently at the challenging Marina Bay Circuit – tracks he had never won at before.
Meanwhile Lauda admits he is relieved that Singapore is behind them, “Marina Bay was an anti-Mercedes track, last year it was a total mess for us, [this time] we won it.”
