Gloves off as Hamilton-Rosberg feud intensifies

Mercedes drivers clash again as Ricciardo races to victory in Belgium

Nico Rosberg extended his championship lead and deepened his rift with Lewis Hamilton. The gloves are now well and truly off between the Mercedes rivals in their bitter fight for the Formula One title.

After Rosberg finished second at Sunday's Belgium Grand Prix, Hamilton claimed the German driver acknowledged he had deliberately crashed into him early in the incident-packed race, which saw Daniel Ricciardo clinch his third win of the season.
