Lewis Hamilton Wasn’t Aware of Rosberg’s Participation in Extreme E

Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton have their own Extreme E teams. However, Rosberg was surprised to see Hamilton again and was couldn’t believe that he and Lewis share the same objective of making the planet more sustainable.

Rosberg moved on from the sport after winning the championship in 2016, while his then-teammate has managed to conquer seven of them as his own. The two also share a common goal, which is achieving sustainability and doing something good for the environment.

The German’s team would be called Rosberg racing while Hamilton’s team is called X44. Rosberg talks about how strange it was that they shared so much in common and didn’t know, despite being teammates for three years.

Rosberg didn’t know that Lewis Hamilton had the same goal as him

The former Mercedes driver said, “It was strange because neither of us knew about the other. We both negotiated in the same days. Strange, isn’t it? It is very nice that we both had the same idea and we have this focus on sustainability.

Rosberg added, “On themes Eventually Lewis and I get back to racing, we start a rivalry that I feel a lot. I certainly don’t want to finish second, and of course he won’t. We will fight, but for a good cause.”

“And for the well-being of all, in the future. It will be very nice to put my two true, great passions together: the environment and the races,” he concluded. (Translated via Google)
