Lewis Hamilton Caught in Explosive Feud with Former Teammate.

Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has found himself at the center of a dramatic and highly publicized feud with former teammate Nico Rosberg, reigniting a rivalry that once defined an era of the sport.

The tension resurfaced following comments made by Rosberg during a recent interview on a German motorsport podcast, where he criticized Hamilton’s performance this season and questioned his commitment to his final year with Mercedes before joining Ferrari in 2026.

“Lewis doesn’t look like the same driver anymore,” Rosberg said. “It’s almost as if his focus is already on Maranello rather than finishing strong with the team that gave him so much success.”

Hamilton responded swiftly on social media, calling the remarks “disrespectful” and accusing Rosberg of “clinging to relevance by tearing others down.”

The feud quickly escalated as both camps traded barbs through the press and online platforms. Fans of both drivers have taken to social media in droves, reigniting debates about their fierce rivalry from 2013 to 2016 when they raced as teammates at Mercedes, culminating in a notoriously acrimonious 2016 season which Rosberg won before abruptly retiring.

Sources within the F1 paddock suggest tensions may have been brewing for months, with Rosberg’s increasing presence in the media and Hamilton’s high-profile moves off-track—such as his fashion ventures and advocacy work—drawing criticism from some corners of the F1 community.

Formula 1 officials have declined to comment on the spat, but insiders say it reflects broader tensions as the sport grapples with generational shifts, media dynamics, and the pressures facing legacy drivers nearing the twilight of their careers.

As the 2025 season heats up, fans can expect more than just on-track drama—with the Hamilton-Rosberg rivalry once again threatening to steal the spotlight.
