Lewis Hamilton needs to be on his guard to stop Nico Rosberg this season according to Felipe Massa.

The three-time world champion will be seeking his third straight championship when the season kicks off in Australia next month.

However, Rosberg’s end of season form, which saw him win the final three races of 2015, has Massa expecting a title battle between the Mercedes pair.

"We saw Nico win the last three races, so it shows that maybe Hamilton was a little less interested in the last three races compared to how he was before because he was doing an amazing championship before,” he said.

"I think Lewis needs to be a bit more focused now as I don't think he is going to have a very easy championship inside his team looking at what Nico did in the last races. He will need to be very focused."

The new season gets underway on March 20.
