Nico Rosberg

Nico Erik Rosberg, son of Keijo "Keke" Erik Rosberg, is about to have his 100th Grand Prix meeting this weekend in Hungary.

I was about to write my "best wishes" to him in 'his' thread...but I couldn't find one...so, I figured I might as well start it off.

What is very interesting is that his father, Keke, took part in 114 Grand Prix races in his entire Formula One career, winning 5 of them - all for Williams from 1982 to 1985 - as well as a World Championship.

It's interesting in that Nico is approaching that number quickly and he's already about to finish off his 6th season in a few months...but without a win to his name...and no win in sight given the current pecking order of the cars.

Some say Nico is a great talent...while others say he hasn't fared well against quality teammates in their prime, so it's hard to judge. Mark Webber is, seemingly, his only reasonable benchmark and that was way back in his rookie season in a car that was one of the worst ones ever constructed by Williams.

What are people's thoughts on Nico Rosberg?

Regardless, Godspeed to Nico on the occassion of his 100th Grand Prix this weekend!

Gracious in defeat, Rosberg gives a post race interview.

I’m very disappointed, the chance was there, but it didn’t work out. But in the end, my race didn’t make a difference because Lewis won the race fair and square. He deserved to win today and also to win the championship

Sadly for Nico, I think this is a Mark Webber type of story. He has been fantastic on Saturdays and had his moments on a Sunday but I reckon this is as close as he's going to get to the title.

Next year Merc may or may not have as big an advantage but in terms of the two team mates, Hamilton clearly holds all the cards now.

At least he made it something of a fight all year which also reflects well on how hard and how well Hamilton had to drive for his title.

I just enjoyed this article for some reason, it seems like Nico is just a fun guy http://willthef1journo.wordpress.com/2014/11/18/the-contenders-nico-rosberg/

I read that article. To me, this sheds light on him as being a twat!

A twat maybe, but a very pleasant, endearing and intelligent one, nonetheless!

So Nico just officially invited Seb Vettel to the Merc debrief on Friday at 16:00. Apparently Paddy is fine with it.

I really hope Vettel calls his bluff and turns up.

Said invitation:

RasputinLives you know he will!

Nico Rosberg has revealed that he wears a woman's sanitary towel inside his crash helmet to absorb sweat.

Clever, if a little gross.

 

[RasputinLives]

I don't think its a used one FB so maybe not that gross.

I'm sure there must be a something more appropriate than a sanitary towel. Maybe Nico needs to spray his head with antiperspirant.

 

[Brogan]

I understand why he does it.

I wear a headband while running but within about 10 minutes it is absolutely sodden and the sweat just runs out of it into my eyes and down my face.

I may have to try taping a sanitary towel to my head for my next run.

 

[The Pits]

Maybe Red Bull could create something?

After all Red Bull gives yo...

Sorry, too obvious.

And some tampon earrings Brogan

I may have to try taping a sanitary towel to my head for my next run.

On second thoughts, I'd probably look like a ****.

 

[Greenlantern101]

So he really is a wee fanny.
Just as I suspected.

 

[Dash Racing]

Pure genius. Someone, somewhere, running a sanitary towel manufacturing company, has just had a meeting with their lead designers to discuss making athletic sweat absorbers so they can penetrate a previously untapped market.

 

[Titch]

Does he wear Tenna Lady pants as well ?

 

[Hamberg]

My first thought was surely tena lady would be more appropriate! Men eh

 

[Mephistopheles]

Why doesn't he just put a nappy over his head,, they are absorbent I believe...
