Two egos, one garage, zero brakes on the drama. The friendship that exploded into F1's nastiest rivalry.
For a second year in a row, the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team have done a fantastic job, building a very fast F1 car for the Formula One 2015 season. The new Silver Arrow will be driven one more year by the same drivers line up: Nico Rosberg, from Germany and Lewis Hamilton from Great Britain. Both drivers are, once again, the title contenders for the drivers championship. Lewis Hamilton is the reigning champion, after a very intense duel down to the wire against his team mate, Nico Rosberg the previous season, in 2014. Nico Rosberg is prepared to fight against Lewis again .This time he expects to be the winner of that internal battle in Mercedes, rising the F1 drivers championship trophy at the end of the season in Abu Dhabi. This is the round two of a legendary battle between old friends and now rivals in Mercedes. This is Transition to The Silver War.
