Rosberg rules in Monaco

Lewis Hamilton insists he has cleared the air with team-mate Nico Rosberg, but in the aftermath of the Monaco Grand Prix there is an overwhelming feeling the toxicity remained.

The atmosphere on the podium was poisonous after Hamilton finished runner-up to Rosberg, with the German securing back-to-back lights-to-flag wins around the streets of the principality to end the Briton’s run of four wins.

Forget a polite acknowledgement, there was not even a glance from one to the other at any stage. It was as if they were strangers rather than Mercedes colleagues who had just secured a record-equalling fifth one-two.
