F1 | Rosberg's predictions for 2019: "Vettel must fear Leclerc"

Nico Rosberg is the demonstration that Lewis Hamilton he can be beaten and he proved it in 2016, when he beat his teammate, after an exhausting fight which then led him to the decision to withdraw from the formula 1, just days after winning the title.

The German follows Formula 1 with interest, also being a commentator for some television stations, including Sky Sports and, interviewed by autosprint, spoke about his expectations for the 2019 season, also giving some advice to his compatriot, Sebastian Vettel:

“I don't know exactly what happened to him last season, but that's sport. Sometimes it seems like everything is going right, then one mistake is enough to make you fall down, you lose confidence and everything goes wrong. The same thing that happened to me with Hamilton in 2015.".

The 2016 world champion revealed that it was a change of mentality that allowed him to beat the Englishman for the title:

“I wanted to change my attitude with him, I forced myself that I had to be in charge of the game. Lewis always tends to impose his laws, but I ruled in his territory so as not to allow him to find motivation. And I won.".

For Sebastian Vettel, this year's challenge seems to be even more demanding since the youngster will compete alongside him at Ferrari Charles Leclerc:

“Leclerc is very strong -added Rosberg- and Vettel will have to be very careful because he no longer has Raikkonen near him. It's another thing. Seb will have to be perfect if he wants to win”.

However, there is one thing to the German's advantage over Hamilton: “Vettel is superior in terms of dedication to work, he works with the engineers on the set-up. It's a skill that Hamilton doesn't have. Then his lifestyle makes us envious and having a simple life helps to deal with an intense environment like that of Formula 1.".
