Nico Rosberg has weighed in on the recent struggles at his former team, Mercedes, and more specifically his former rival Lewis Hamilton.

The seven-time world champion had high hopes that Mercedes' 2023 challenger, the W14, would have what it takes to battle the Red Bulls this year, but those hopes did not materialise.

Hamilton is now facing questions regarding his motivation ahead of what looks set to be another tough season feeding off scraps at the head of the midfield.

The 38-year-old's predicament is now looking even more perplexing after Hamilton announced that his time working with a long-term personal trainer, Angela Cullen, had come to an end.

Rosberg: "Lewis is super-motivated"

Speaking with Sky Sports F1 in the paddock last weekend, Nico Rosberg spoke highly of Hamilton's efforts to galvanise his team, claiming: "From what I can see, Lewis is super-motivated still.

"Let's also remember that he had George Russell next to him, who is really on a par with him and he wants to beat him, so that's a big driver."
