Abu Dhabi Grand Prix winner Nico Rosberg at the Yas Marina

The bitter rivalry between Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg has showed no signs of slowing down. The German driver beat his British counterpart at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last night, which was his third successive win. During their post race press conference the pair were asked if they’d be getting each other Christmas presents, which was followed by an awkward silence. When asked who would be the happier driver going into the winter break, Hamilton said: "I think being World Champion sounds a lot better than winning the race."
