Nico Rosberg quashed suggestions of Lewis Hamilton being sabotaged by Mercedes amid claims it gave preferential treatment to George Russell. The 2024 F1 season was one where the veteran struggled to keep up with what his young teammate was accomplishing in the car. So much so that the qualifying and race head-to-head looks one-sided in Russell's favor.
To add to this, Hamilton claimed multiple times that he wasn't happy with the car and by the end of the season, he'd said that he couldn't wait for the season to be over. All of this further fueled conspiracy theories among his fandom as even Mercedes boss Toto Wolff was allegedly sent an anonymous letter that claimed that the German team was favoring one driver over the other. With that being said, the last race of the Hamilton-Mercedes partnership was in Abu Dhabi and the driver had a spirited race where he finished ahead of his teammate after a last lap overtake.
