Nico Rosberg ‘Bans Lewis Hamilton from Entering His House’ After Sending Gifts to His Kids
In a surprising twist to their long-standing rivalry, former Formula 1 World Champion Nico Rosberg has reportedly banned his ex-Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton from entering his house. The German driver’s decision comes after Hamilton allegedly sent gifts to Rosberg’s children, sparking an unexpected reaction.
According to sources close to Rosberg, the 2016 world champion was displeased when Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, sent surprise gifts to his kids. While the nature of the presents remains undisclosed, Rosberg reportedly viewed the gesture as an unnecessary intrusion into his private life.
The two drivers famously had one of the most intense rivalries in F1 history during their time at Mercedes between 2013 and 2016. Their on-track battles often led to controversy, with multiple collisions and heated moments both on and off the track. Rosberg shocked the world by retiring immediately after winning the 2016 title, avoiding any further direct competition with Hamilton.
Since then, their relationship has remained distant, with Rosberg transitioning into a media personality and sustainability entrepreneur, while Hamilton continues to chase records in F1. Despite occasional pleasantries in public, Rosberg’s recent stance suggests their old tensions may not be entirely behind them.
A source close to Rosberg claimed, “Nico appreciates Lewis’s success but prefers to keep a healthy distance. He wasn’t expecting gifts for his kids and felt it was a step too far.”
Neither Rosberg nor Hamilton has publicly commented on the alleged ban, but fans are already speculating on the deeper meaning behind the move. While some believe Rosberg is simply maintaining boundaries, others suggest lingering animosity may still exist between the two former teammates.
As the 2025 F1 season approaches, Hamilton remains focused on his final year with Mercedes before his highly anticipated move to Ferrari. Meanwhile, Rosberg continues his work in sustainability and punditry, ensuring that even in retirement, he remains a key figure in the F1 world.
