To those who are only aware of the rivalry shared by Mercedes teammates, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton should know that they are rivals in a different sport as well. 2016 World Champion claimed that the seven-time world champion could make an appearance at the weekend’s Extreme E Event. Hamilton was the first F1 star to confirm an entry into the Extreme E series, which consists of five races throughout the season.

Rosberg X Racing spearhead the table in both the Drivers’ and Teams’ championships – just ahead of Hamilton’s Team X44. On the other hand, the 36-years-old’s team has topped qualifying at all five races so far yet it’s Rosberg’s side who lead, having won three races outright.

“I’m excited! It’s been a great season; we’ve won three races,” he told Racing News 365. “Johan and Molly have done a great job, and all the team has in avoiding mistakes, problems – they’ve done really well. It’s extreme conditions always out there. It’s all to play for this weekend. 

“It’s so funny that it’s Rosberg against Hamilton as well in this completely new championship here – that’s amazing. Both of us have awesome drivers, so it’s super cool.”
