Lewis Hamilton has revealed he held a conversation of pure respect with Nico Rosberg in the Monaco paddock a week after their Spanish GP collision. While Rosberg refused to divulge whether the pair had held talks after crashing out in Barcelona when he faced the media during a terse and spiky press conference, the F1 world champion disclosed during his press briefing that the pair held amicable and respectful talks on Wednesday.We stood and spoke to each other today and there are no problems, Hamilton said. In the past there would have been tension but now it was pure respect. I said l still have respect for you and he said the same. I guess we are just getting old!While the detail of the incident continues to divide opinion within the paddock, Hamilton says there was no need for the two Mercedes drivers to discuss the incident in depth.We know what happened and we know how we felt, he said. All you need to know is that the respect is still there. The pair had clashed on track before in their time as team-mates, most famously at the 2014 Belgian GP, but the Barcelona collision was the first time they had taken each other out of a race.Stewards ruled neither driver warranted punishment for the crash and Hamilton acknowledged there were likely to be further incidents in the future - although is mindful of the fact that the outcome cannot be so damaging for the team again.
