Hamilton And Rosberg 'Rules Of Engagement' Document Outlined By Vowles

"The biggest thing that we got into with the drivers in 2014, for example, was that both of them knew – both Nico and Lewis knew – that it was one of those two winning. They knew, by the way, before we turned the first wheel in the first race."

"My role in this was I constructed a document that created some very clear… how we were going to work with each other, and how we were going to fight each other – at the time, it was called the 'rules of engagement.'"

"It was some really clear boundaries on ‘This is how we’re going to behave and this is how we’re going to perform."

"It was very much bringing them on that journey and making sure they’re aware that you can become the best sportsman in the world, which will create a legacy beyond many, many years."

"Or you can win a race by doing something that has perhaps forced or hurt or damaged your teammate. Which one do you want to go down? It’s a very simple choice when you present it to a sportsman – ultimately, they want the one that creates the legacy for many years to come."

"They bought into it, and it created a good environment. It doesn’t mean that, in time, we didn’t have a breakdown."

"I mean, everyone will remember Barcelona 2016 [when the pair collided to throw away a potential 1-2], which still sticks in my mind today because you’re taking two of these sportsmen who were constrained within their boxes, and just got frustrated."

"But, actually, what you do at the time is you don’t back off, you double down and go, 'This is how it’s going to be.'"
