F1 | Rosberg on Verstappen-Hamilton: “Generational battle”

The accident that occurred at Silverstone between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton was the latest clash in a duel that has been going on since the beginning of the season. Nico Rosberg also expressed his opinion on the rivalry between the Dutchman from Red Bull and the seven-time world champion with Mercedes, with the German admitting that the battle between the two can without a doubt be considered a battle between generations.

"There are also different opinions and I also like to call it a racing accident. Of course you can place a little more blame on one or the other but in the end it is the battle of the generations; both will not leave the other even by an inch and we have already seen this in previous races – said Rosberg to Sky Sports F1 – I mean it's not the first time they've had contact. They already had it in Turn 1 at Imola and we'll see more of it, I'm sure. This is a generational battle. The best guy of the last generation or even the moment, and the best guy of the next generation. It also really reminds me of Senna-Schumacher, Schumacher-Alonso, Alonso… Vettel maybe?”.
