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 th꧃e conditions on intermediate tyres as rain fell during the final hour of practice in Barcelona on Saturday morning.
But Hamilton decid🐟ed against running on the wet-weather tyres, something that Rosberg - who pipped the seven-time world champion to the world t🥀itle in 2016 before retiring from F1 - questioned.
"Look, now Lewis is in a rush to get his belts on because he was out of the car,” Rosberg saiꦛd🐼 during Sky’s coverage.
"I think Bradley [Lord, Mꦍercedes communications director] should hav🐎e had a word with him.
"Maybe this is Bradley, thꦉat's why Lewis is back in the car.”
Having revealed he had spoken to Mercedes after the session, Rosberg added: 🔴“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 f🌞act his decision to be in the garage for all that time and to also go out a bit late on the softs. So they [Mercedes] did say it ൲was perhaps not 100 percent ideal.
“But then again, as a seven-time world champion you෴ could allow yourself to do that.”
Hamiꦆlton showed 🌠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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen’s benchmark.
