Mercedes F1 stars Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg back Comic Relief

Mercedes Formula 1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have given their backing to British charity Comic Relief.

Rosberg and a number of team members wore traditional red noses while posing for photos to show their support of the cause.

Hamilton decided against wearing a plastic nose, but did don a Comic Relief T-shirt that had the slogan, 'I think I may be the voice of a generation,' emblazoned on the front.

The drivers are preparing for this weekend's season opener at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
