Mercedes, Rosberg: “Lewis is the best as a teammate”

Despite having lost the championship duel in the last two years with Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg spares no sweet words towards his teammate: “Lewis is strong and our successes show that the team made the right decision when choosing us“Keke's son told German newspaper TZ.

"We are in F1 to triumph with Mercedes, according to the guidelines established by the team. Both he and I push hard and this can only bring benefits to the team".

On Niki Lauda, ​​Rosberg revealed a background story: “Niki has a dual personality. Many times what she says on television is completely different than what we say to each other away from the cameras. For me it is more important what you tell me in private and not what you say to the media. Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe manage the team on a day-to-day basis. Instead Niki plays a more supporting role, as a consultant. He is a former pilot, he understands several things, and very often manages to restore peace between two people after difficult situations".
