“Michael was just so complete as a driver. He covered all areas,” said Rosberg. Talent-wise, he probably has to be the best of all time. And he really builds on that, that instinct is phenomenal with him.”
“A big difference is diligence. Lewis hates test drives. He doesn’t like test drives. And Michael, he would drive tests every day, even though he is a seven-time world champion. But because he also knows that you can always learn a little bit there.”
Nico Rosberg proud to defeat Lewis Hamilton
Hamilton is on the verge of overtaking Schumacher’s record of most world titles. When asked to Rosberg about this, he opined that Hamilton deserves to hold the record, and he’s proud to defeat him once citing his 2016 championship win.

“Oh well, I’m not so emotionally attached to it now that I say, ‘Hey, Michael actually deserved to hold the record’. Lewis deserves it too and if he manages to do that, then good.”
“I see it more and more as, ‘He was really damn fast, and I can be all the more proud that I beat him with the same car back then.”
