Nico Rosberg questions attitude of ‘glass half-empty’ Lando Norris
Nico Rosberg left i🐼mpressed by Lando ꦬNorris' driving in China - but not his attitude.
Nico Rosberg believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris needs to be more positive, having described the McLaren F1 driver as being a “glass half-empty guy”.
Norris turned in a brilliant drive - aided by two Safety Car periods - to rise from fourth and finish second at the Chinese Grand Prix as he split the Red Bull 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez to score his and McLaren’s second podium of the seasonꦡ.
The Briton admitted he had bet McLaren colleagues that he would finish 35 seconds behind t🦄he Ferraris in Shanghai before denying Red Bull a 1-2, which he said came as a “surprise”.
Analyꦐsing McLaren’s performance in China during Sky Sports F1’s coverage, Rosberg urged Norris to have more “positivity”.
“Lando is a glass ༺half-empty guy,” the 2🧜016 world champion said.
“Pre-race betting that Ferrari are going to beat 🔯them? I don’t know. I don’t think that’s the best approach, in general. Positivity would be helpful.
“Neve🅠rtheless, he had a phenomenal drive today. He drove so well. Together with Max, the driver of the day. Consistency, there was no degradation on 𝔉his car.
“The comparison to his teammate Oscar Piastri who was really struggling with de🐠gradation. Big difference, there. So a phenomenal d🎉rive.”

The double points finish has strengthened McLaren’s grasp on thirdꦛ place in꧒ the constructors’ championship.
McLaren are 44 p𝄹oints ahead of fourth-placed Meꦓrcedes and 55 behind Ferrari.
Rosberg is convinced McLaren can “definitely” challenge Ferrari for second, with upgrades planned for the up♎coming Miami Grand Prix.
“It’s amazing progress,” he said. “Althouꦅgh it is up and down on 𝄹performance from one track to another, so it’s not clear where we are with the pecking order.
“Ferrari, for example, were disappointing today. But McLaren can𓂃 definitely challenge for P2 in the constructors. They need Oscar to find more consistency in the racing.”
