Don’t get what you mean, Sumedh. Rosberg now has over 60 (probably 70) under his belt, driving mediocre to decent-but-not-great cars. Doesn’t exactly sound like a driver’s dream, does it? So what do you mean by “post-honeymoon period”?

Yeah, Keke does seem to be more hands off than Lewis’ Dad or Nelson Piquet Sr, which is probably better for Nico…

He’s quick and agressive enough – Britney is a future WDC in my opinion.

Liking the bbc clip at the end by the way

His mother is German and he was born in Germany – it seems that was enough. truth be told, he should race under a monagese flag as he spent his entire life in Principality.

I like him as he has a smart head on the shoulders and he has shown great focus in races. His weakest points are wet races, until Malaysian GP where he got half a point he never managed to score in wet races and he often struggled…

He certainly has a bright future in F1 but it remains to be seen can he reach the level of WDC…

Nico Rosberg has a German mother and dual citizenship, German and Finnish. His German is native, but by his own admission he speaks very little Finnish, but was ‘learning it’. (He speaks several other languages too!)

Keke Rosberg doesn’t appear to have interfered at all in Nico’s career in F1, so ‘pushy’ doesn’t sound very accurate there.

You can thank Mark Webber for the “Britney” moniker, (apparently) he was one of the guys who came up with it when they were at Williams, and it stuck…

He can always go back to the books once he retires from racing, and come back as a senior guy in any F1 team.

“Britney” at the early part of the season was the guy to watch on Friday but his race pace is quite off, somehow his machinery doesn’t like the heavy fuel loads.

If he gets into a McLaren, the battle of the pushy drivers’ Dads will be quite interesting to watch (Anthony Hamilton vs Keke Rosberg)
