Nico Rosberg Retired

Date 2016-12-02

Just a few days after Nico Rosberg won the Formula One Title he announced his retirement from racing. The announcement was unexpected, as it was the first time a champion has ever decided to quit after winning a title since way back in 1993 when Alain Prost retired after his fourth title.

 

Rosberg, 31, made up his mind to retire after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where he placed second to Lewis Hamilton his teammate but took the overall driver’s title by just five points. He broke the news to his Mercedes team and shocked everyone.

 

Ever since the German racer was young, he wanted to be a Formula One Champion. In a team statement, Rosberg revealed that it took a lot of hard work, sacrifices, and pain but he eventually achieved his goals and it felt like the right time to retire.

 

In the racing community, there has been a lot of debate over whether or not Rosberg is the most deserving champion, over Hamilton with ten wins this season compared to his nine. It was the same when Rosberg and Hamilton raced each other when they were young teenagers, back then Hamilton won the go-kart race but their standing was debated.

 

Rosberg is the son of the Formula One world champion from 1982, Keke. He was raised in Monaco and led a sheltered life as a rich kid.

 

The masculine name Nico is the short form of Nicholas or Nicodemus, which is taken from the Greek name Nikolaos that means “victory of the people”.
