German driver Nico Rosberg has openly said he has learnt from the Hungary experience over orders with Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton.

Rosberg said: “Of course we discussed it after the race, because it’s important to review a situation like that and to know how to move forward.
“I’ve also learned various things which I will try to adapt for the future.”
Rosberg said he did not want to expand on behind- the-scenes discussions at the team so as not to inflame the situation.

Hamilton ignored an instruction to let the German past in Hungary and went on to finish third, with Rosberg fourth.

According to statistics, in terms of wins Hamilton has five Wins and Rosberg four and Podium nine for both each and for Poles the British has four, the German six in terms of Fastest Laps three for Hamilton four to Rosberg and in terms of Front Rows seven a piece.

It is widely expected that Mercedes, who have been dominant this season, will face their toughest challenge yet from the Williams team in Belgium and
in the next race in Monza in two weeks’ time.

Williams’s car has the strongest straight-line speed but not as much downforce as the Mercedes, whose engine Williams use.

But this could be an advantage on the long straights that characterise two-thirds of the lap at Spa.

Hamilton said: “The team are suggesting Williams are going to be close. The media are suggesting it could be their best chance. Maybe this will suit their
car. I really don’t know.”

Williams driver Felipe Massa said: “I hope it can be more than just on the paper. I hope we can show good performance on the track in this race and in Monza.
