F1: Relations not to be strained in title fight

With Mercedes entering the 2014 season as the title favourites, and both drivers having relatively equal skill, it will not be surprising if both the drivers are locked in a title fight in 2014. However, Rosberg reassures us that his relations with Hamilton will not be strained. The duo have had a friendship that stretches back to their karting days. When asked about how the championship will affect their relation, Rosberg mentioned that they used to fight for karting championships back in the day, but any strains or problems were resolved after a week. He believes the situation will be the same in F1. Many are betting on Rosberg to be a title contender, for analysts say clever approaches and strategies would be a better method to tackle the 2014 season as compared to outright flatout speed.
