Nico Rosberg responds to Lewis Hamilton's complaints

Nico Rosberg has hit back at Lewis Hamilton's complaints Mercedes' race team shuffle in 2016.

Prior to the 2016 season, Mercedes exchanged engineers between both drivers, something Hamilton took issue with for most of the subsequent season.


But Rosberg, who beat Hamilton to the 2016 title and then retired less than a week later, told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: "I lost my mechanics, too. I also had to give him two of my engineers at the beginning of his time at Mercedes."

"That's the full truth," said Rosberg. "I could write a book about the rest. Maybe I will, one day. There are so many crazy and interesting stories."

It will be interesting to see how the next Mercedes driver will do against Hamilton.
