Rosberg: Bottas doing a 'good job' getting under Hamilton's skin

Nico Rosberg believes that Valtteri Bottas is doing well in getting under Lewis Hamilton's skin so far in 2019.

The Finn took the race victory two weeks ago in Melbourne after missing out on pole position one day before. Bottas finished the race over 20 seconds ahead of Hamilton, who held off Max Verstappen for third place.

Rosberg, who beat Hamilton to the world championship in 2016, thinks Bottas has done a strong job of resetting himself over the winter break after a tough 2018 campaign that saw him take zero victories.

"Valtteri is really trying to get under Lewis’ skin at the moment. He’s giving it everything, and I think he’s doing a good job," Rosberg said Sky Sports F1.
