Nico Rosberg has admitted it was “a shock to my system” when he suddenly quit Formula 1 in the days after winning his first and only title in 2016. The German, now 37, was missing in his role as an F1 pundit last year after declining to get vaccinated for covid. But he is back in the paddock this year and has now been featured on the cover of the latest German edition of Men’s Health magazine. “It was a shock to my system to go to zero in one fell swoop. “I also invested a lot to get to know myself,” said the German, admitting his biggest challenge in his 37 years so far was “finding meaning in life”.
