Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg said that his recent spat with reigning Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton is a 'thing of the past', insisting that both team mates are now focusing toward the forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday.
Rosberg had accused Hamilton of deliberately compromising his race by driving selfishly slow and leaving him exposed to the Ferraris behind in Shanghai.
The German said that it was definitely tense after the race, but insisted that they had a good sit down, a good discussion, the BBC reported.
Rosberg further said that there was a lot of constructive criticism, adding that it is a thing of the past for everybody now.
The tension between the two flared up again in Shanghai since Mercedes started to dominate Formula 1, including a crash that involved the two at last August's Belgian Grand Prix.
