Nico Rosberg has explained that his ownership of the Rosberg X Racing team in Extreme E represents the start of his journey as a team boss and owner. The 38-year-old has combined those duties with some punditry work since retiring from F1 off the back of his one and only Drivers\u2019 Championship title in 2016.<\/p>\n

Rosberg called time on his F1 career at the height of his powers, rounding off his 2016 campaign with four successive second-place finishes to beat team-mate Lewis Hamilton to the title and join father Keke Rosberg in the record books as a world champion, before announcing his retirement from the sport after the season finale in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Since then Rosberg has been active, albeit from the sidelines in the motorsport community. In 2021 he set up a team in the electric rally championship Extreme E for its inaugural season. His team have since gone on to win two of the first three titles available, with the other one going to the X44 team that is owned by former rival Hamilton.<\/p>\n

Discussing his experience during his three years of involvement with Extreme E, Rosberg told City A.M.: \u201cExtreme E is my kind of start as a team boss and owner, it\u2019s been a very successful first three-year journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy problem is that I\u2019m not ready to dedicate my life to a project like that ever again, as I did as a racing driver, because I appreciate my time at home too much \u2013 time with my kids and my wife and my family.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife after racing has been a journey of discovery because it was crystal clear before. I know that I want to be involved in something that contributes to society, which is why we are doing Extreme E, and which is why I have Rosberg Philanthropies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosberg\u2019s desire to avoid the stresses and vigours of life as a racing driver is well-publicised. Talking to Squaremile about the lengths he went to to beat Hamilton, he explained: “My helmet was black because I got rid of the paint, which was 80g,” he revealed.<\/p>\n
