The Dutch racer said that Rosberg had an easier time beating Hamilton than him since the two had the same car at the time.
Rosberg might have been a close friend of Hamilton's, but never did he have any intention of not doing his absolute best to be crowned champion.
Nico Rosberg won the 2016 F1 championship in grand style as he defeated Lewis Hamilton in a tense season.
The two had been as close as brothers from a very young age, and both were overjoyed to learn that they would drive for Mercedes.
The duo had pushed Mercedes to the top and had the three most statistically dominant seasons from 2014 to 2016.
Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen had an intense rivalry that dominated the late 90s.
