Hamilton's former teammate Nico Rosberg is of a similar opinion. The German former F1 driver asserted there are only two teams in the sport that everyone wants to drive for. According to sueddeutsche.de, he said:

What do you think about Lewis Hamilton's move? Do you agree with Verstappen and Rosberg? Or is there something about what Hill and Alonso are saying? Maybe we will find out in the future.
