Watch: 'Like you?' Karun Chandok takes a dig at Nico Rosberg over his rivalry with Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes during live F1 broadcast

Lewis Hamilton ‘s move to Ferrari in 2025 has been talked about a lot since it was announced in February. The seven-time World Champion will be partnering with Charles Leclerc who is one of the most talented drivers in Formula 1.

The dynamic between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc‘s pairing next year was being talked about ahead of the sprint qualifying in China by Nico Rosberg. The German added how Leclerc doesn’t seem to be a driver who has a lot of conflict with his teammates.

This led Sky Sports F1 journalist Karun Chandok to jokingly say “Like you.” He was implying how the partnership between the German and Hamilton transpired during their infamous stint as teammates from 2013 to 2016.

The jab seemed to be pretty funny to ex-F1 World Champion, Damon Hill , who was heard laughing. Nico Rosberg replied by saying how it wasn’t fair for them to say that. The entire conversation seemed to be very amusing to the fans and pundits alike.

Nico Rosberg reveals Fernando Alonso’s talks with Mercedes before re-signing with Aston Martin

Ever since Lewis Hamilton revealed that he is moving to Ferrari in 2025, there has been a lot of talk regarding who will replace the seven-time Champion at Mercedes. Fernando Alonso was one of the biggest potential candidates before he announced that he was re-signing with Aston Martin.

Following this, Nico Rosberg recently revealed that the Spaniard was involved in pretty heavy negotiations with the Brackley-based team. Rosberg added how Alonso’s manager, Flavio Britore had multiple talks with Toto Wolff regarding the Mercedes seat.

I can confirm that because next to my house in Monaco is Flavio Briatore’s cafe. He and Toto spent a lot of time discussing it. Flavio takes 12%. Nico Rosberg after Fernando Alonso announced he re-signed with Aston Martin

This has sparked up a lot of conversations about why the two-time World Champion didn’t choose to sign with Mercedes. Only time will tell if the 42-year-old’s decision to continue with Aston Martin till 2026 was the right one.
