Lewis Hamilton is one of the most positive, sunshine-and-rainbows kind of guy in the F1 paddock- but there is one exception. We know the driver for his upbeat posts on social media, his forever-optimistic attitude, and his friendliness with everyone he comes across. However, there is one person who wouldn’t want to cross paths with- Nico Rosberg.
The infamous ‘Silver War’ has been one for the short F1 history books. Complete with a friends-to-enemies storyline, bitter on-track fights, and an even worse media war, it was easily one of the more dramatic rivalries in F1. And Lewis Hamilton wants to keep that as it is- a story in the history books.
Lewis Hamilton makes a hilarious Nico Rosberg statement
In a short promotional for the now viral lie-detector test, Sky Sports released a short peek into Hamilton’s response to a question that didn’t make it to the final cut. Simon Lazenby asked his guest, “you see him walking down the corridor, do you dive into your house?” Without wasting a breath, Hamilton says yes, before bursting into laughter.
Here’s the extended cut of the lie detector test with Lewis. The X-rated, un-edited version is in the back of Russ’s van. You’ll have to ask him or @LewisHamilton for it to ever see the light of day! And yes it was Nico in the corridor 😉 https://t.co/yvkzQ240aj

Memes were out as well. The Roberg-Hamilton dynamic has forever been an entertaining factor in the community. And, the latest chapter has been far from boring.

Clearly, the aftermath of the Silver War lives on as the once best buds continue to be on awkward terms with each other. However, unfortunately for Hamilton, Rosberg continues to make his rounds of the F1 paddock. So, jumping out of his way might be a problem.
