Mercedes chief Niki Lauda is confident Lewis Hamilton will get over his discontent with Nico Rosberg before the next race in Canada - but the former World Champion admits the team "can't stop" the bristling title rivalry between their drivers.
"I know with my experience and with our drivers in the past when it gets out of hand. So if they don't say hello in the morning anymore to each other, then I think it's out of hand." But despite the increasingly bitter nature of the Hamilton/Rosberg dynamic, the seasoned Lauda declared: "You have to be a b****** if you want to win in Formula 1 anyway. No question. You cannot win being a nice guy. Tell me one nice guy out there?"
