In a conversation with British Sky Sports F1, the 2016 world champion, who partnered with Hamilton for four seasons (2013-2016) and with Michael Schumacher for three seasons (2010-2012), described Hamilton’s remarks as “a bit strange.” He spoke with presenter Simon Lazenby.
Simon Lazenby : Quite strong words are they from Lewis on the subject of having stronger teammates Fernando Alonso, Heikki Kovalainen, Jenson button, Valtteri Bottas, George Russell.. I know of course as well Nico Rosberg. But compare that though to Max’s with Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, Gasly, Albon and Perez. He nearly forgot you…
Rosberg : I am thankful to our sky reporter. Yeah at first I didn’t make the cut. So it’s thanks to her that I eventually did make the cut so that I’m really thankful.
And it’s a bit strange that Lewis does talk about that like ‘my teammates were so much better’. Like where did that come from ? A bit strange, but I do think he has a point. I mean he had three world champions as teammates that says a lot doesn’t it ? so I do think it’s correct.
