Motorsport fraternity is in absolute shock after reigning champion Nico Rosberg retires from F1

German ace Nico Rosberg who claimed his first ever Formula 1 title with Mercedes last weekend has announced his retirement from the sport. The 31-year-old has absolutely shocked the entire motorsports fraternity with his sudden decision to end his career.

“For me, it is a very special day to receive the trophy this evening. It is going to be amazing but for another reason: I want to take the opportunity to announce the end of my F1 career. I had a clear dream since I was six years old: that was to become F1 world champion and it was very clear in my mind, whatever I could think, I have achieved it. I will remember forever,” declared Rosberg as quoted by motorsport.com.
