Probably no athlete in the world has left their sport on the same high as Nico Rosberg. The German retired from Formula 1 a week after winning the driver’s championship ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton. Say what you will, the German achieved what most have failed to do so. He beat the seven-time world champion in equal machinery, a fact that fans will not let the two forget anytime soon.

The fans reminded the two of the fact once again after Rosberg posted his latest YouTube video. The German post-retirement has dipped his toes into multiple avenues. One such avenue is his YouTube channel where he posts Formula 1 and racing-related videos.
In the latest upload, Rosberg took his Rimac Nevera for a spin around the Monaco Mountains. Rosberg tested his $2 million supercar’s top speed, among other various aspects. Hilariously enough, the German even locked himself out of the car at one point and had to call for a second key.
It was all fun and games until uploaded the video update on his Instagram page. On Rosberg’s Instagram page, the fans stormed the comment section with “equal machinery” comments.
