Nico Rosberg: 'I am in world championship mode'

Nico Rosberg says that he has worked to simplify his life and narrow his focus upon beating Lewis Hamilton for the first time in three years.

Nico Rosberg has said that he has worked to simplify his life and narrow his focus upon beating Lewis Hamilton for the first time in three years.

Hamilton dominated Mercedes teammate Rosberg for most of last season until he wrapped up the title, when the Briton arguably let his off-track, celebrity trappings divert his focus.

Rosberg is emphasising the difference in approach between himself and Hamilton going into 2016, contrasting his focus with Hamilton's off-track antics.

"I am even more efficient than before," he told Bild. "I have directed all my energy into focusing on the sport. I want absolutely nothing to distract me.

"It is all these little things that count in the end. I am now fully in world championship mode."

The 2016 calendar gets underway with the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday.
