Rating his ex-Mercedes team-mates on pure talent, Nico Rosberg puts Lewis Hamilton ahead of Michael Schumacher.

Statistically Hamilton and Schumacher sit atop Formula 1 as the most successful drivers of all time, both tied on seven World Championships, while Hamilton holds several major records including most race wins, poles and podium finishes.

And Rosberg has had the distinction of calling both drivers a Mercedes team-mate, racing alongside Schumacher at Mercedes from 2010-12, before Hamilton replaced the legendary German from 2013.

Rosberg and Hamilton would then contest one of Formula 1’s fiercest rivalries, ending when Rosberg retired shortly after winning the 2016 Drivers’ title.
