Rosberg proud of his performance against Hamilton in the same car

Nico Rosberg is one of the few drivers who has made things very difficult for Lewis Hamilton in the Brit's career, and he even beat him in 2016. Hamilton continues to break the records, emphasising the scale of Rosberg's performances in 2016.

In 2016 Rosberg became world champion at the expense of Hamilton. In an intense season that was only decided during the last race, the German became world champion. It was reason enough for Rosberg to announce his farewell a few weeks later. Since then Hamilton has taken the title four more times and is now a seven-time World Champion

To Autobild, Rosberg reflected on that achievement: "In general I am proud that I beat him in the same car, but I always knew how good he was. So his records come as no surprise to me."
