Lewis Hamilton’s controversial tactics in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix divided opinion among F1 fans as he backed up his team-mate Nico Rosberg into Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen in the hope of winning a fourth world title.
One person who didn’t agree with Hamilton’s actions was 1992 F1 World Champion, Nigel Mansell and the Briton was making his feelings know over Twitter.

It didn’t matter in the end though as Rosberg took the title. Nigel congratulated Nico and his father Keke, who he was team-mates with at Williams back in 1985.
Nico deserves this Championship many congratulations brilliant.Keke my friend, so proud for you and all the family.
