Photos: Nico and Lewis on their bicycles in Kuala Lumpur

Formula 1 history is peppered with instances of acrimonious relationships between teammates - Piquet vs Mansell, Senna vs Prost, Vettel vs Webber - but it appears that the Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg partnership at Mercedes is harmonious...for now.

The duo were in fine form during a promotional cycle around Kuala Lumpur, chirping on Twitter as they went about their PR activity.

Rosberg tweeted: "Hey @lewishamilton ! Your new KL bike suits you really well! ;) #hellokittyracing"
To which Hamilton replied, "You don't look too bad yourself @nico_rosberg #hellokittyracing"

Last year at the same venue the two were involved in a team orders scenario whereby the Silver Arrows pitwall ordered Rosberg to hold station behind Hamilton - the pair crossing the line in third and fourth respectively.

Rosberg and Hamilton have known each other since their karting days, rising through the lower formulas through to Formula 1 almost simultaneously.

Below are photos of their outing in Kuala Lumpur.
