He went on to race for Mercedes that re-entered the sport in 2010 and partnered with Michael Schumacher. He won his only World Championship in a fierce battle from runner-up Lewis Hamilton in 2016. After that triumph Rosberg directly made his shock retirement from the sport.

In his personal life, Rosberg is married and has two children, Alaia and Naila.

As a driver, Rosberg was known for his consistent and intelligent approach to racing. He was highly skilled at managing his tires and fuel, and he often used these skills to his advantage in races. He was also known for his ability to deliver strong performances under pressure. These qualities, combined with his natural talent and determination, made him a formidable force on the track and helped him to achieve success in Formula 1. Rosberg’s long, flowing blonde hair proved inspiration for then Williams team-mate Mark Webber, who began calling Rosberg “Britney” when in discussion with his engineers. This name was a reference to pop icon Britney Spears.
