Rosberg is the 2016 World Champion!!!

on


  • This is Rosberg's 1st Championship after 10 years of driving
  • Before today, Rosberg had 23 Race Wins, the most of any non-champion in the sport
  • Rosberg raced 11,163 Laps in F1 before claiming his first title
  • He raced 205 Times before tasting victory in the 206th. 
  • In that time...
    • He's qualified on pole 30 Times
    • He's raked up 1594.5 points 
    • And 17 fastest laps
  • His best margin to the champion in a season was 59 Points, in 2015
  • Rosberg claims his first title at the age of 31 years, 5 months, and 10 days (What were you doing at that age?)
  • And finally, a quote: "For me it was a normality having a father who was a world champion. I grew up with that, so it was never extra pressure. And I've never felt the need to emerge from his shadow." 
Well whether it did or not, Nico can now share this moment with his father. Congratulations to Rosberg and Mercedes AMG Petronas for their victory.
