Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton: 'Rift with Nico Rosberg is done and dusted'

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has insisted that any feud with teammate Nico Rosberg is over heading into the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend.

Hamilton initially refused to speak about his relationship with Rosberg after the German ended the Brit's run of four consecutive wins with victory at the Monaco Grand Prix last month.

Despite reports that there is a tense relationship between the pair, Hamilton has insisted that they are friends as they prepare to compete in North America on Sunday.

"We had dinner with the team yesterday and things have never been better," BBC Sport quotes Hamilton as saying. "We're just going from strength to strength.

"Just like friends, we have our ups and downs, we've known each other for a long, long time, but it's done and dusted."

Hamilton currently has a three-point lead over his teammate in the drivers' standings.
