Nico Rosberg still hopes to rekindle friendship with Lewis Hamilton

Nico Rosberg hopes time will heal his relationship with former Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton after falling out during their time racing alongside each other in Formula One.

Hamilton and Rosberg have known each other since they were teammates in go-kart racing and were close friends before their career paths split on the road to F1. They were reunited as teammates at Mercedes in 2013 and entered head-to-head competition for the title between 2014 and 2016 as the German brand dominated the sport.

The intense competition during that period saw their personal relationship deteriorate to the point that they were barely on speaking terms in their fourth year together in 2016.
