Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg was an inseparable combination. They were teammates at Mercedes for four seasons. Yet their personal rivalry was dragging the team down. Something had to go overboard and Nico Rosberg it was. The German retired immediately after winning his maiden driver’s championship.
However, they are back and will race against each other in ‘The Extreme E’. The series is an effort to bridge the gap between motor racing and environmental awareness. Lewis Hamilton had already registered his team under the name of X-44. The Briton was certain that this is the cause he would like to contribute and also maintain his affinity in motorsport. But Nico Rosberg was not far behind as he too announced his Extreme E team, Rosberg Xtreme Racing.
The 2016 World Champion said, “We are thrilled to unveil Rosberg Xtreme Racing as the latest addition to Extreme E. The series represents an amazing opportunity to not only drive awareness but also inspire action in the fight against climate change–the single biggest threat to our planet today.”
