Nico Rosberg is a German F1 driver who raced in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship between 2006 and 2016. He held his nerve at the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to claim the 2016 Drivers’ Title from Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton and then sensationally retired just days later, ending a career in which he won 23 Formula 1 Grands Prix and claimed 30 pole positions. He is the son of 1982 F1 Champion Keke Rosberg.
