Hamilton warns Rosberg of tough British GP challenge
Spielberg (Austria): Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton has warned his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg that carrying forward the winning momentum would not be easy at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Rosberg clinched the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday as he pipped his pole-sitting British teammate before the first corner and never gave up the lead to win the race.
“I don’t feel you carry anything through from one race to the next,” the reigning world champion was quoted as saying by mirror.co.uk.
Rosberg with the win has got his title hopes back on track with three triumphs in four races. If Hamilton was an unhappy man at losing here, he was unconcerned it spelled bad news for his home race which is scheduled for July 5.
“It starts again. You have a whole week of nothing racing-wise and then you arrive into a whole new weekend,” Hamilton said.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
