The rivalry between Rosberg and Hamilton will be forever remembered by Formula 1 fans. At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it was the German driver who beat his teammate to take home the championship.
In a question-and-answer session, Rosberg said: “Are you going to send it after F1 races or are you just trying to get home as soon as possible?” The German was confused and received clarification as to what “send” meant . He replied, “Oh yes, it’s always full send, like full send. Especially after the win, my all time favorite party was probably after the win where we went to Amber Longue. Man, that was epic, so always full broadcast. “
