'What I think of Rosberg? Nothing..' says Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton isn't very forthcoming when asked about his opinion on former arch-rival and Mercedes team mate Nico Rosberg.

Perhaps the three-time world champion believes he has disserted enough on the subject in the past, or feels there is no need to revisit something that has no relevancy to his present.

Asked what he thinks of the German today, Hamilton delivered a minimal reply to Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport

"Nothing," he said.

"We were teammates, we worked together for a few years and now he's retired. I wish him the best," Hamilton added.

"Last year I lost the title, but I beat him on the number of wins. I was proud because I didn't give up until the end, like always."

"Enough said", he could have concluded.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
