Nico Rosberg says he has seen worrying signs of a 'mental struggle' in Lando Norris - and reveals he 'wanted to write to him' about psychological support... after the Briton's challenging race weekend

Nico Rosberg is concerned about Lando Norris' 'mental struggle' and has considered writing to the McLaren star about psychological support. Lando Norris has opened up about his mental struggles in the past and was frustrated with himself after the final Qatar GP qualifying session Nico Rosberg said Norris sometimes goes into a 'spiral' of saying 'I'm not good enough' Norris ultimately finished third in the Qatar GP and has been positive about the progress McLaren are making but is often highly self-critical 'If you look at Qatar now, suddenly you’ve had Lando a little bit off, never putting a lap together in qualifying, therefore having a worse grid slot and not getting the best out of the weekend, because Oscar beat him both on Saturday and on Sunday. Rosberg said he used to see a psychologist every couple of days to help him overcome Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton Norris and McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri have traded 2-3 finishes in recent GPs Max Verstappen is World Champion for a third consecutive year but Norris believes McLaren can make strides towards catching Red Bull Rosberg said there needed to be a 'balance' between being open about mistakes and not allowing them to dominate what you say and how you think. The British team have finished 2-3 in the last two Grands Prix in Japan and Qatar and Norris recently said that they could even be favourites to win some races next season.
