Lewis Hamilton has said that he recovered quickly from the disappointment of losing last year's world championship.
After a season-long battle, the triple world champion's long-time Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg finally broke through for a title win, and promptly retired.
Asked what he thinks of the German today, Hamilton is quoted by Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport: "Nothing.
"We were teammates, we worked together for a few years and now he's retired. I wish him the best.
"Last year I lost the title, but I beat him on the number of wins. I was proud because I didn't give up until the end, like always."
Hamilton is currently jostling with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel for the lead in the driver standings, with the German 13 points ahead.
