LONDON. — Lewis Hamilton has aimed another little dig at Formula One title rival Nico Rosberg by jokingly suggesting ahead of next week’s German Grand Prix that it is not his Mercedes team mate’s home race. Hamilton enjoyed huge support on his way to winning his home British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday but he questioned how many fans would be cheering for Germany’s Rosberg, the championship leader, at Hockenheim. “To be honest Nico has never actually been in Germany, so it’s not really his home race,” he told British reporters with a laugh. “I remember when we used to race in karting, he didn’t stand next to a German flag. Ever.
“We’d have to go on the start line and all the drivers would stand next to the grid girl, in a line.
“The girls would be holding the flag or a sign saying Hungary, or whatever, and he always stood by Monaco. He never stood by Germany.”— Reuters.
