Mercedes, Hamilton "lights up" Silverstone: "I would never be able to root for Rosberg"

Knife brothers, no holds barred. The rivalry between dioscuri of Mercedes it risks reaching its peak this year, due to a fight worldwide  worthy of Italy-Germany 4-3, the "match of the century" played at the Azteca Stadium, at the 1970 Mexican World Cup.

And it's four to three for Lewis and Nico too. Just one more victory and "only" a ten point lead in the standings for Hamilton, not much considering the excessive speed power of a driver capable of winning seven pole positions, not always making the most of them (Monte Carlo and Austria in particular).

A Hamilton who for some is a little too "distracted" by social life, travel and his many off-track passions. While Rosberg, certainly less talented, leads a more moderate and peaceful lifestyle. Different in all, first friends and now bitter adversaries. With Rosberg who, after the initial setbacks, worked mentally on himself to regain his form, and "unblocked" himself psychologically first in Barcelona and then in Monte Carlo. In the principality the most discussed victory, with Hamilton doomed by his anxiety and an unforgivable miscalculation of the wall.

An unusual event which reopened the world championship, to the delight of the spectators, and further worsened the relationship between the two drivers of the "Three-Pointed Star". Ed Hamilton, who loves to act "tough" with a chain around his neck and hip hop clothing, does not skimp on "caresses" toangelico Nico:

"We are part of a team and the job of both drivers is to get as many points as possible. But taken individually, our goal is to fight. Maybe dI should cheer for my teammate if I don't win, but believe me...this isn't really the case." Long live sincerity and long live a world challenge that could tell another beautiful chapter at Silverstone, where we are racing this week.
