Lewis Hamilton has launched a scathing attack on Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg as their war of words following the Chinese Grand Prix rumbles on.
The defending Formula One champion kept Rosberg at a safe distance to win the race on Sunday, but was accused of holding the German up during the post-race press conference.
Rosberg suggested Hamilton had driven "unnecessarily slowly" to disrupt his race strategy, but the Briton rejected those claims and suggested his colleague chose not to push him.
"Nico didn't try," Hamilton said. "They said maybe he was just comfortable second, and I said 'Well, that's the difference between us. I want to win always'.
"I would have done everything to get past, or at least pushed for three laps if I could.
"If you take a step back, this is motor racing man. Racing. Don't take away the fun of the racing. It's racing.
"If I was in second or third, I would have done everything. I wouldn't have sat back two seconds to make it to the end of the stint.
"Of course you want to get to the end of the stint, but if I thought I had more pace I would have tried to have got past, because that's the best part."
