Nico Rosberg: No better teammate than Lewis Hamilton

For Formula One fanatics it was a thrilling spectacle the sport’s top two drivers going head-to-head for the drivers’ championship title.

That Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton were teammates, from the Mercedes stable, made it all the more enthralling.

Not only did they go corner-to-corner on the circuit, they also traded verbal volleys away from the pit lane.

For Rosberg, who was ultimately beaten to the world title by the Briton and had to deal with plenty of criticism along the way, it wasn’t the first time he’d felt like an outsider.

As testing for the 2015 season continues, he says last term provided some trying moments but he insists he can’t think of a better teammate than Hamilton.

“Of course there have been clouds,” he told Formula One’s official website. “Everybody has his own relative worries.

Wolf also said he had no concerns about Hamilton’s contract, which is entering its final season.

“We are having discussions — very positive ones, which will come to a positive end soon. I have no doubt about that,” he said.

“We met each other after the break one week ago and had a good discussion. There is no hurry. It’s only January and his contract runs for another year.

“So when we discuss, it’s still about something that’s happening in 12 months. No stress. We want him to stay and he wants to stay, so there are no risks in taking the situation calmly.”
