An ordinary kid like any other, Nico Rosberg decided he wanted to emulate his father Keke Rosberg’s footsteps in becoming a world champion in Formula 1, and he didn’t stop until he did.
German, tough and talented. Rosberg’s path in the Grand Circus was built with effort and dedication until he arrived at Mercedes, and hand in hand with Michael Schumacher to help developing the concept of the car that dominated the category in 2014. In the 2014 and 2015 seasons he watched in the shadows how his teammate Lewis Hamilton enjoyed the champagne as a true world champion.
For sure Rosberg said “enough is enough”. In 2016 he took out his claws, was more aggressive than usual and set out to fight for the championship against the Briton. In the first four races he crushed him, then Hamilton recovered and the rest of the season turned into a give-and-take until the end in Abu Dhabi.
