Rosberg says Schumacher struggled to adapt in F1 comeback

Nico Rosberg has said that Michael Schumacher had difficulty adapting to new situations after his return to Formula 1, which he believes explains a drop in performance compared with his peak. Rosberg, the 2016 world champion and Schumacher's Mercedes teammate, cited the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix crash with Bruno Senna as an example, linking it to the DRS system, which Schumacher had never used before.

Speaking on the High Performance Podcast, Rosberg also described Schumacher as a "mental warrior" who sought to unsettle his teammate, recalling how Schumacher would park his car across Rosberg's space so that he could not get his own car in.

Schumacher returned in 2010 after retiring in 2006, and spent three seasons at Mercedes with Rosberg, clinching just one podium before retiring for a final time in 2012.
