Nico Rosberg to reach out to Lando Norris over ‘worry’ about self-criticism

Norris has often spoken about the struggles he’s had with his mental health, 🉐particularly self-doubt during his first two F1 seasons.
Since then, Norris has emerged as one of F1’s brightest talents, demonstrated by his run of podiums this year with McLaren as he leads their recovery up the fi🍸eld.
The Qatar Grand Prix weekend was a difficult one for Norris, whಌo threw away pole position on two occasions.
After both qua🔴lifying and the sprint shootout, Norris was very critical of himself, blaming a for his mistakes.
Speakiไng o🌸n the latest episode of the , Rosberg gave his view on Norris’ constant self-criticism.
“I think Lando has been doing really well when he wasn’t really challenged 🐽so much, he was always at his best,” he saiജd.
“If you look at Qatar now suddenly you’ve had Lando a little bit off, never putting a lap together in qualifying and therefore having a worse grid slot and not getting the best out of the weekend, because Oscar beat him both on𒉰 Saturday and on Sunday.
“What was a little bit of a worry, because Lando always says himself how he sometimes has challenges with mental health, and I saw some signs of that unfolding again th൲is weekend.
“He goes into this spiral of saying ‘I’m not good enough, I’m making mist🌱akes and I’ve done a bad job’ and he just repeats it over and over. That’s a typical example of a little bit of a mental struggle there.”

Rosberg explained how he worked alongside a psychologist for 10 years during his own F1 career which ultimately culminated in a title triumph against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in 2016.
“I was going to write [to] him maybe, because I studied with a psychologist for 10 years. I was really the driver who was most dedi📖cated to improving my mental performance, and also my mental wellbeing, because it came hand-in-hand,” he added.
“So every two days I worked tw💎o hours with a psychologist. It was more intense than the physical training, it was insane. And it was a big, big part of me becoming world champion.
“So I w🎉anted to write to Lando actually and I wanted to say that one thing is thinking you are not good enough, but the other thing, which you can influence and avoid, is what you are saying. If you keep repeating that, you start to believe what you say. So it’s important to try and avoid ꦯ‘I’m not good enough and I’m making too many mistakes over and over and over.
“Let’s find a balance there. We all appreciate his honesty and that’s how he is. So let’s keep that. It’s ju🌱st a matter of saying once, ‘it’s not been my best weekend, for some reason it was difficult to put the lap together in qualifying’ and then that’s it.
“There🌳’s a difference between saying it 🐬once like that and just repeating it over and over for the whole weekend.”
