Lewis Hamilton urged Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg to get into the "racing" spirit and try to take him on at the 2015 Bahrain GP on April 19.
Rosberg, 17 points behind in the Drivers' championship, ended the 2015 Chinese GP complaining about his fellow Mercedes driver's tactics as he controlled the pace from the front.
Rosberg argued that he didn't want to try to overtake Hamilton at the time, but instead wanted a bigger gap between himself and the chasing Sebastian Vettel to conserve his tyres.
