Mercedes team chairman Niki Lauda recently travelled to Ibiza to catch up with Rosberg in a bid to help him work out why he has suffered a slump in form in recent weeks.
Rosberg headed to the Spanish island for the summer break to spend time with his daughter and wife, who owns an ice cream parlour there.
Lauda joined them, to discuss with Rosberg how he can make up the ground lost in the championship fight with his team mate and he plans to visit Rosberg again before the end of the summer break.
"We will talk with him and discuss the problem," Lauda told the Swiss newspaper Blick. "He must again believe in himself, and then he will be a problem for Lewis once again,"
But Rosberg said that he can bounce back straight away, insisting he is always stronger after difficult moments.
"Lewis has not only showed he is strong lately - he was always strong," he said. "I'm disappointed with Hockenheim, as I did a great qualifying and on Friday I had good pace on the long runs. It's just a shame everything went wrong in the race.
"But I have enough examples from the past that show I always get stronger after a setback -- again and again. So there is no problem," Rosberg added.
