Hamilton & Ricciardo react to Rosberg retirement, discuss 2016 season

Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo were on the stage at the FIA Champions’ press conference shortly after Nico Rosberg dropped his retirement bombshell in Vienna last Friday. Hear their reactions to the news, as well as reflections on the 2016 season.

[@NickGoesHAM]

Lewis seemed genuinely annoyed with every Nico question.

[@tigerrx7]

Lewis obviously doesn't give a shit that Nico retired.

[@centurionguards3819]

That's classic, this is the 1st time he's won in 18 years!!!!!!

[@jdghgh]

So much shade from Hamilton regarding Rosberg...its uncomfortable to watch.

[@alanjackson526]

Read between lines.... He's pissed off with Mercedes and pissed off with 2016 season.

[@roderick720s3]

Rosberg pulled a james hunt win one championship and pullout

[@Nemoticon]

Hunt got his WDC within 3 years of joining F1. Rosberg took a decade to do the same.

14:12,... lewis comment about his best moments racing nico is very reminiscent of senna answer who he enjoyed racing the most (Terry Fullerton).

[@xenios1820]

I am a Lewis fan, but only when he is on the track. Sometimes his responses are questionable, to say the least.

[@netsurferx1]

Your Senna is showing at 14:12, Lewis.

[@ISENTRY]

Daniel Ricciardo is my favorite driver/athlete... in my favorite sport!! ...could this have been a sneak preview of 2 future team-mates??

[@JOHNN01.82]

Lewis seems annoyed Nick retired

[@DmitriyOleynik]

Great interview!

[@smithy7833]

Hamilton isn't even sad

[@lassenissen1727]

Why would he? That's the game..

[@01rai01]

i wouldn't be sad either

[@01rai01]

+Irov Stimpe Hamilton is more successful and a better driver than him, he couldn't care less,

[@Ben-yn5lm]

first time hes one in 18 years hahahha

[@jassonkhoo1223]

My friend looks like lewis Hamilton including the face and beard

[@GrrMeister]

I see that Lewis has had his right leg amputated, so how will he press the throttle next year ?

[@williamlevy1981]

Lewis was brutally honest. He doesn't give much credit to Nico for the title because he's beaten him consistently. Lewis wanted to beat Nico next season. Nico needs to recharge with a season off ! He'll be back just like Schumacher returned.

[@calmisvasile6562]

Lewis Hamilton is the best

[@Nemoticon]

No one in the paddock really cared when Rosberg left. Rookies have left the sport with more fanfare, lol!
