Formula One: Rosberg Had Told Hamilton About Retirement Already
"We said we'd be champions back then, now we both are! Congratulations Nico, you did everything a champion needed to do. Well deserved.”
Nico
Rosberg
says
that
he
informed
Lewis
Hamilton
about
his
retirement
from
Formula
One
before
his
public
announcement
on
Friday.
Both
the
silver
arrow
pilots
were
fighting
intensively
for
the
title
this
year,
with
the
German
emerging
on
top
after
the
final
race.
The Briton slowed down purposefully while leading the race in Abu Dhabi to mix up the drivers behind to overtake Rosberg. However, on Thursday, Hamilton paid tribute to his teammate using his Instagram account.
Hamilton wrote on his Instagram account, "We said we'd be champions back then, now we both are! Congratulations Nico, you did everything a champion needed to do. Well deserved." Both the drivers has been competing against each other since their go-karting days.
Speaking at the FIA Prize Gala in Vienna on Friday, Rosberg said he had already told Hamilton about his retirement. He felt that it was the right thing to do.
The German said, "I informed Lewis myself before this, it is the right way to do it. We had so many battles and so many moments so I thought correct to let him know of my decision and especially in light of his post yesterday, which was kind of him.
"Maybe we can have a discussion tonight. It has been so short notice. The priority was to let the team know as quickly as possible. A bit of a compromise for me in not taking enough time to notify everyone who was close to me - so I sent Lewis a message."
