Friends since childhood, the relationship between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton inevitably suffered from this rivalry. The German even admitted that this friendship had increased tensions between the two Mercedes drivers.

“We get even more upset when it’s someone we know well who does something bordering on reprehensible, commented Nico Rosberg at Daily Mail. Lewis is very good at reaching the limit without crossing it because he can count on his driving talent. »

“He is also a very intelligent person., underlined the German. I had more difficulty being wheel to blow, but it's natural for him. I had to work on myself and become more aggressive because he took the advantage of me too often in the past. I watched the videos and made progress. »

Nico Rosberg recently admitted that he would have liked to see Fernando Alonso replaces him at Mercedes. It is finally Valtteri Bottas who will take up the challenge.
