Nico Rosberg insists he is not put off by Lewis Hamilton’s six-point championship lead and is adamant he can turn it round in this weekend’s German Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver had led by near 50 points six races ago, but now trails his team-mate after a disappointing run of form – where Hamilton has won five of six races.

But Rosberg believes he will turn it round – starting with his home race on Sunday.

"It's just simple, that now you can say that Lewis has done the best job this season, by six points," said Rosberg.

"That's it. That's the only change there, but it doesn't change much for me, because it's so close, and I'm out there every race with the opportunity to win.

"The last races have been so close, and it just takes a small thing to switch it the other way. So I'm super motivated, and I want to turn it round for the next race in Hockenheim.

"That would be great, and I know that I have the opportunity to do it there."
