London: Lewis Hamilton has cleared the air with Mercedes Formula One teammate Nico Rosberg after the title-chasing pair fell out at last weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.

The Briton, who lost the overall lead in the championship to Rosberg on Sunday after the German ended Hamilton’s run of four wins in a row, took to Twitter on Friday to declare fences had been mended.

“We’ve been friends a long time and as friends we have our ups and downs. Today we spoke and we’re cool, still friends #noproblem,” declared the 2008 champion.

The tweet was accompanied by a link to a photograph of the two, together on unicycles and smiling, from their teenage years.
