Rosberg: "Bottas doing a good job getting under the skin of Hamilton"

Nico Rosberg has praised Valtteri Bottas for his work so far this season. Rosberg knows how to beat Lewis Hamilton, and the 2016 champion believes Bottas is doing a good job.

Bottas started well and dominated Lewis Hamilton last weekend with a 20-second victory around Albert Park after a winless 2018. The Brit said he saw no difference in the way his teammate was reacting, but Rosberg praises the work Bottas is doing.

"Valtteri is really trying to get under Lewis’ skin at the moment. He’s giving everything, and I think he’s doing a good job," Rosberg told Sky Sports F1.

Bottas beat Hamilton again in FP1 but is Hamilton who grabbed the upper hand in the final two practice sessions. Though the Mercedes boys will both be concerned by the pace of the Ferraris who dominated again in FP3.
