Lewis Hamilton has sensationally claimed Nico Rosberg deliberately crashed into him in Sunday's controversial Belgian Grand Prix. The incident which Sportunes reported this afternoon is said to sever and already strained relationship between the pair.
Hamilton however met with the German after the race and dropped a bombshell thereafter: 'We just had a meeting about it and he basically said he did it on purpose. He said he did it on purpose." The British driver said.
'He said he could have avoided it. He said 'I did it to prove a point', he basically said 'I did it to prove a point'.
'And you don't have to just rely on me. Go and ask Toto, Paddy and all those guys who are not happy with him as well.'
Rosberg who brought his lead in the title race back up to 29 points by finishing second at Spa is hoping the incident doesnt spell the end of any hope of Mercedes team harmony. The 29 year old said: "I am confident that we can keep it. It is always going to be an intense battle, that was clear from the outset and there will always be difficult moments.
"But after Hungary we had a discussion again, we will discuss this again today, review it and then move on."
