Four-time Formula One champion Alain Prost has added his name to the list of people tipping Nico Rosberg for the 2016 championship
While his team mate Lewis Hamilton has won the last two titles, Rosberg has won more races this season and currently tops the points.
"Nico had a fantastic weekend," Prost told the French broadcaster Canal Plus. "On Saturday he got pole and on Sunday he was in full control of the race. For Hamilton it was not such a good weekend: not competitive and less consistent."
"Before Singapore, it seemed that Hamilton was more competitive but last weekend Nico proved that he is a very strong opponent," said Prost.
Despite singing the praises of Rosberg, Prost still believes the fight between both Mercedes drivers will remain close.
"We have seen with Mercedes that one driver seems to perform very well and the other a little less. We have not really seen them battle wheel to wheel but it seems to me that this is likely to happen before the end of the season," he said.
"For me, the outcome of the title will depend on the details, the psychology, the effectiveness of the starts and possibly other cars interfering with their fight."
