The 2016 season in particular saw the two drivers clash on multiple occasions, including the Spanish and Austrian Grands Prix, as the two drivers fought for the championship until the last race of the season.

After claiming his first and only title in 2016, Rosberg announced his shock retirement as his former team-mate went on to become a seven-time world champion with Mercedes.

Rosberg confirmed that this was the case and joked that it was a 'big problem' for the champion.

“That’s true too. That’s even more than a weak point. That’s a big problem,” Rosberg said.

However, Vivian revealed that Hamilton is present in their daughter's lives, claiming that he always gives them Christmas presents.

“No, that’s great. That’s nice of him. We kind of had an enmity. Now both children have a huge box of presents from him on their doorstep every Christmas. It’s a nice approach,” Rosberg continued.

When the interviewer cheekily asked why they did not let Hamilton in their home to gift the presents, Rosberg joked that he was banned.

“He has to stay outside the door. But he’s welcome to leave the presents,” he added.
