LAUDA LIFTS LID ON HAMILTON’S RAGE AND LIES
Mercedes non-executive chairman Niki Lauda has revealed Lewis Hamilton ‘destroyed’ his room at the Mercedes hospitality offices after the Briton crashed out in his quest for pole position at the European Grand Prix.
Speaking to Servus TV ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, Lauda revealed the speculation that Hamilton was in an uncontrollable rage after gifting pole position to his teammate were true. When he was questioned on the specifics of Hamilton’s outburst in relation to rumours he had destroyed his hospitality room Lauda revealed all.
“He did it because he had crashed. He’ll have to pay for that [the destroyed room]. You can count on that,” said Lauda.
“He told me I couldn’t come in because he was going to destroy everything. This is how it was.”
In a stunning revelation, Lauda went on to accuse Hamilton of lying after the current world champion told the Mail on Sunday his relationship with Nico Rosberg was better than ever.
“It’s actually really good with Nico at the moment,’ said Hamilton. “Really, really good. Surprisingly.
“I would definitely not have expected it to be where it is. I guess it is probably with age.
“He’s a family man. He’s got a kid. He has probably grown in that process and I have grown and come of age. The respect that we have always talked about is bigger than it has ever been.”
Lauda claims Hamilton lied about their relationship so he could have a “quieter” weekend in Austria when in fact their relationship is as bad if not worse than it was last season.
“Lewis lied about that, simple as that,” explained Lauda. “He just said something. He wanted to be the softener in order to have his peace last weekend.
“He does what he can. The fight gets hotter the longer Nico is in front.”
