Rosberg taunts Hamilton

The simple world champion (2016) is of the opinion that Max Verstappen would be ahead of him in the classification due to Hamilton's mistake in Germany if Verstappen were also driving a Mercedes. “Verstappen is the best driver out there at the moment,” said Rosberg about the Hockenheim winner.

After the German GP, in which Lewis Hamilton only ended up in 9th place after a few mistakes, Rosberg said: “It's unbelievable. I don't think I've ever seen Lewis make two such catastrophic mistakes before - at least not in a very, very long time." And further: "I think towards the end of the race he gave up a bit because he managed it only past the two Williams - while Vettel grabbed one opponent after the other. Maybe it was because he was in poor health.”

In any case, Hamilton himself would not be afraid of an internal team competitor like Max Verstappen. “In a way it would be good for me,” the five-time Formula 1 world champion even said instead and explained why he would take on what was supposed to be the toughest challenge with the uncompromising Dutch driver at Mercedes.

Hamilton is relaxed He read stories that he and the Red Bull star had different cars and that was the only reason he beat Verstappen. For Hamilton, both in the same team would mean: “I could show that that is not the case.” The fact that he wore orange shorts when he chatted relaxed in Budapest about the desired constellation of some Formula 1 fans was probably unintentional.

It doesn't really matter to Hamilton, he leads the standings with 41 points ahead of Bottas, with 63 points in front of Verstappen and with 84 points in front of Sebastian Vettel in the Ferrari. Hamilton has been in a league of his own for a long time, supplementing his success story after the 2008 World Cup title with McLaren with triumphs in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018 in the Mercedes and is on the way to his sixth World Cup win this year. The recent dips in performance at the Austrian Grand Prix with fifth place and at the Hockenheimring with ninth place hardly change that.
