British Formula One racing champion Lewis Hamilton has been having a crowd pleasing good time in Mexico, moonlighting as a wrestler.

Hamilton, enjoying the Latin culture in the days leading up the Mexican Grand Prix, found himself in a wrestling ring with Mistico, a 32-year-old star wrestler whose real name is Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde.

Prior to his fun filled romp in the ring, Hamilton had just had a Formula One race in the United States Grand Prix on Sunday. In the event he beat out his fellow teammate Nico Rosberg.

Rosberg was visibly perturbed about his loss after the race. He threw a cap back at Hamilton in the green room and refused to shake his hand and then wouldn’t even take part in the champagne spraying ceremony on the podium.

As Sky News reports, Hamilton regrets the display of bad sportsmanship between him and Rosberg, saying, "It's not something you expect to see from grown adults."

As far as the conflict between the racers goes, Hamilton has moved on, saying, "It didn't mean anything to me -- I was happy! You should ask Nico. I'm not even on cloud nine.

“Coming into these next races I'm still motivated, just as I've been all year,” Hamilton said. “'Whilst I won the championship last weekend... whoever wants to win those races, I still want to win it more than them, so I'm going go out and hopefully do what I usually do in terms of performing."

In Autoweek Hamilton said he could totally understand why Rosberg hurled a second-place podium cap in his direction: "It's the worst thing to be my teammate.”

For his part, Rosberg remarked that he would not want another teammate, saying, "It's a good challenge to go up against one of the best."

The Formula One champion also shared another video of his wrestling match on his Instagram account as well as various photos of his trip to Mexico.
