The rivalry between Rosberg-Hamilton will be forever edged into the memories of Formula One fans. At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it was the German driver who beat his teammate to take home the championship.
In a Q&A, Rosberg said, “After F1 races, do you send it afterward, or do you just try to get home as fast as possible?” The German was confused and was given clarification on what “Sending it” meant. He responded, “Oh yeah, It’s always full send, like full send. Especially after winning, my most favorite party-ever was probably after winning where we went to Amber Longue. Man that was epic, so always full send.”
