    Default Nico Rosberg retiring from Formula One

    Not sure how many people follow F1 much on this forum, but it's the main sport that I am in to. Nico Rosberg just won the world championship last week, is 31 years old, and has a 2 year $30+ mill contract left with Mercedes AMG and he just announced he's retiring. This is literally unheard of in F1/Racing.

    True. But that was his 4th one, and towards the end of his career.

Didn't do any nights, didn't do any difficult things, she was always there to support and make everything possible.

    "That's one example of the commitment we all put into it. I've achieved this childhood dream, and I'm not willing to do that sort of commitment for another year, and I'm not interested in coming fourth or whatever. I'm a fighter, and I want to win. So I'm not interested to do that again, so I've decided to follow my heart, and my heart has told me to stop there and call it a day, do other things. It's been wonderful. It just feels right to me. I'm very, very excited. My wife Vivian is very excited to have her husband back, and I'm going to be dad again, which is going to be wonderful, so thanks very much for your support all these years. I'm cherishing the moment. It's absolutely awesome, all these experiences now, to share the success with all of you and with all the other people, it's been phenomenal."

    I'd say he's livin' the dream and doing it well.
