Hamilton fires back at Rosberg: "I think my results speak for themselves"
Lewis Hamilton has responded to Nico Rosberg's recent comments about Max Verstappen being the best driver on the grid by revealing he has never seen his YouTube videos and referenced his record in his defence.
Hamilton and Rosberg had a frosty relationship, to say the least when they were teammates at Mercedes. It all came to a head during the 2016 season which saw a series of controversial incidents, culminating in a dramatic final race in Abu Dhabi. Rosberg won the World Championship and immediately retired whilst Hamilton has gone on to win two more Drivers' Championships and seems set to win another.
Nowadays, Rosberg combines punditry with making YouTube videos and in his recent videos has fired a number of jibes at Hamilton as well as describing Max Verstappen as the fastest man on the grid.
Following Hamilton's victory in Hungary, the five-time World Champion responded to the videos insisting they have no influence on him.
"But it does not affect my life," Hamilton said after the Hungarian Grand Prix as quoted by MotorsportTotal.com.
"I think my results speak for themselves.
"There are always people who were not as successful as me and want to have a little talk, but that's okay.
Hamilton went on to quote a book that he had read, adding: "When you say something about someone else, it's usually not about the other, but about yourself."
