F1 rivals Hamilton and Rosberg in the mood for showdown
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Formula One rivals Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg can’t even shake hands.
The Mercedes pair showed their competitive spirit Thursday by ignoring a request from photographers to “stand up and shake hands” before their pre-race news conference ahead of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Instead, both sank their hands into their pockets before sitting down to answer questions.
With Hamilton’s title on the line — and Rosberg’s first beckoning — neither wants to give any ground heading into Sunday’s race.
