Rosberg and Hamilton had a heated partnership at Mercedes, and the 36-year-old remains the only driver to have ever beaten the seven-time world champion to the title whilst racing for the British-based German team.

He was replaced by Valtteri Bottas at the team, who is still yet to beat Hamilton over a season.
