“So Tough to Digest That One”: Lewis Hamilton Once Again Leaves Pained Nico Rosberg With the Bitter Taste of Defeat

Lewis Hamilton won a title this year. Sounds strange, right? Yes, the seven times world champion’s team X44 has won the second season of the Extreme E Championship. Post the victory, the Briton received a very special message from his ex-teammate, Nico Rosberg, who he defeated in 2014 and 2015 to get his 2nd and 3rd F1 titles.

Extreme E is a unique form of auto racing. It is an all-electric rally that also raises awareness about climate change. Nico Rosberg-owned team Rosberg X Racing won its inaugural season. And now, Lewis’ team, Team X44, has won the second season.

Nico Rosberg, after closely watching the final, congratulated the entire team and his former teammate Lewis Hamilton as well.

He said on his Instagram, “OK, well, the only thing I can say is Congrats Lewis, Congrats for your team, awesome job and Congrats [Cristina] Gutiérrez love. Great driving. Oh man, so tough to digest that one. That’s horrible. Horrible loss.”

“Anyways, that’s the way it is in racing, and proud of what we achieved as a team. I’m proud of everybody in the team… and we’ll be back next year and try and be even stronger.”

The role has been reversed this season as the RXR which wounded the hopes of Hamilton’s team winning the championship last year were knocked out in the semifinal after too many of their mechanics entered the switch zone.

All in all, Hamilton was delighted after seeing the great efforts of his team. Sharing his happiness, he wrote on his Instagram, “I am so blown away by this comeback after such a difficult day yesterday. The team rebuilding, staying positing (sic) and coming out fighting. Wow, I’m so proud of the team and these two amazing drivers.”
