More About

Nico Rosberg | Racing

Nico Rosberg is the son of 1982 Formula 1 World Champion Keke. Born in Germany, Nico started racing in karts when he was just six years old. Success at national, European, and World Championship level led him into car racing.

He won the German Formula BMW series in 2002, then spent two competitive seasons in Formula 3 before winning the GP2 championship title in 2005 – the final step on the latter to Formula 1.

Making his debut for the Williams team in 2006, he drove for them for four seasons prior to his switch to Mercedes in 2010. His speed in F1 was already well established and in 2012 he scored his first victory, winning the Chinese Grand Prix. Between 2013 and 2016, he was teamed with Lewis Hamilton and the pair dominated Formula 1 in the hybrid-engined era commencing in 2014.

Having twice finished runner-up in the World Championship, he finally claimed the title in 2016. In doing so, he and his father became only the second father-son combination to win Formula 1 titles, emulating the success achieved by Graham and Damon Hill.

Nico Rosberg | Post-Retirement

Having achieved his ultimate goal, Nico retired from racing, focussing on a new career as an eco-entrepreneur. He has dedicated his work to promoting sustainable change through technologies, investing in alternative mobility start-ups and becoming a shareholder in the all-electric Formula E racing series.

Among his ambassadorships are Meatfree Monday, a campaign launched by the McCartney family in 2009, Heineken’s ‘When You Drive Never Drink’ campaign, and the FIA’s global road safety programme.

In 2018 he was named GreenTec Entrepreneur of the Year, in 2023 he was the cover feature of Forbes’ 40 Under 40 List, was awarded the Laureus World Sports Award for Breakthrough of the Year, and was inducted into the FIA Hall of Fame in 2017.
