Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg were involved in many fiery clashes during their time at Mercedes
Nico Rosberg has suggested that George Russell and Kimi Antonelli could have a rivalry similar to his and Lewis Hamilton’s during their time at Mercedes between 2013-2016. Hamilton and Rosberg were involved in intense battles for the championship during those seasons, with fiery clashes between them. Rosberg retired after winning the 2016 championship at the age of 31 and now works as a broadcaster. With Mercedes once again dominant in 2026, Russell and Antonelli are fighting for the title, with Antonelli currently leading the championship by 20 points. Rosberg believes a clash between the two is inevitable, especially with a title at stake, but it remains to be seen if they will develop a rivalry like Hamilton and Rosberg. Mercedes will be hoping to maintain harmony between the drivers as they compete against the likes of McLaren and Red Bull in the upcoming races.
