Personal style I’m into everything. I like to wear a nice bespoke suit and feel elegant, but I also like to feel casual. I’m casual-sporty. Or sporty-elegant. Fashion soft spot I love Italian tailoring. The first time you’re able to invest in a tailor-made suit is a great moment for a man. I have this incredible old Italian tailor – a real ancient grandad with a family tradition for suit-making – in Bologna. I get them all done there. Favourite designer Hugo Boss. Leather jacket, Hugo Boss; Selfridges, London. Favourite piece of clothing At home, some old jogging pants, which my wife bans me from wearing out of the house. Watch It’s very competitive in the paddock when it comes to watches. I’d rather not state my favourites as I want to have a few surprises for next season. Jewellery I’m working closely with Thomas Sabo on the Rebel at Heart collection of men’s jewellery; I designed some bespoke bracelets with Sabo for the groomsmen at my wedding. Last year I loved their karma beads that could mix and match. They gave me very good karma, but I was clearly missing that tiny extra bit. I need to exchange just one of the beads for next season. Jeans I wear only Acne jeans. And they have to be slim-fit. I used to wear these massive, huge baggy jeans as a teenager and I must never go back to that place. If you could go to only one shop Selfridges in London. It’s the best city in the world to buy clothes. Exercise regime I train for fun outside the season. I go running, swimming and cycling for enjoyment. Favourite other sports I love football. I support Bayern Munich and would have loved to be a soccer player, particularly a striker as they’re the coolest. But I’m not very quick. I’m more of a distance runner. The skills you need to drive a race car are pretty similar for all sports. So generally I’ll be pretty good at anything. Grooming It’s very simple. I do the hair, which is the main thing, and I shave only once in a while as it’s good to have a bit of a beard. Hat hair is a big problem of being a Formula One driver. I used to have much longer hair, but I had to get rid of it because of the helmets. Teammates Lewis has a huge fetish about his hair. He goes crazy about his hair. It takes him about half an hour. It’s fun to observe his personal style. Smallest luxury Waking up without an alarm clock. Biggest luxury My Mercedes 280SL Pagoda 1970. It’s exactly how it was on the day it was sold in 1970. I didn’t tell my wife that I was buying it. Am I a good driver off the track? Yeah, I’m very good because I see things so much more quickly than everyone else. I can see an accident develop before it happens. A bit like a superhero. The perfect day My wife and I would be alone in our place in Monaco. She would make me some healthy pancakes before we go off on our bikes for an hour and have lunch on the beach. We’d take an afternoon nap and, as the sun sets, we’d take the car through the mountains. And then in the evening I’d mess around looking at old cars in magazines and have dinner cooked by my wife at home using the fresh vegetables from our biogarden. And then we’d fall asleep watching an educational documentary. I need to do this day really soon. Nico Rosberg is Thomas Sabo’s brand ambassador for its spring/summer 2015 campaign Telegraph

Some interesting bits in there. Some bits did read like advertisements. ( HUGO Boss, Sabo). I like his perfect day, that was lovely. And sometimes his voice seems to run on, like when he's interviewd and talks too quickly, flits about and tries to get everything in.

Yeah I like to pretend that Nico did a couple of lines before heading to the podium interviews, the way he speaks makes much more sense to me then.

Wow. He couldn't find something better to absorb sweat? I still don't believe he was being serious there.

It could be some clever psychological warfare by Nico on Seb. He already had a small victory with Seb backing down from attending the Merc briefing.
Maybe Nico wants to demoralise Seb into thinking about how he is getting dusted by a guy wearing a tampon
At least we cant call Nico a wet twat anymore

Imagine if it slipped down while he was driving. I'm sure there better things to use than a sanitary towel?And I wonder what made him try that out in the furst place.
' Vivienne, er Vivienne, please can I borrow one of your sanitary towels? '

I see Nico was asking for help again on the radio - asking what lines Lewis was taking.
Has this guy not read this years rules ??

Clearly in moments of panic the rules go out of the window.

Clearly in moments of panic the rules go out of the window. But but but, I thought the whole idea of being cerebral was the 'extra capacity' to process all the complex new ERS stuff AND the rules etc I reckon if someone did an analysis of Nicos mistakes and race pace there will be a direct correlation to the radio ban. He does all this home work and analysis and study and the minute something changes he flounders And his performance in the pressys are like saggyTTs trying to post something clever = mea culpa after mea culpa - how embarrasing was the Seb stuff closely followed by tampaxgate and then this weeks 'reporter' asking Lewis if he was blocked

He's panicking. No answer in Melbourne and in qualifying "just didn't drive well" but drove well enough to spoil another qualifying lap for Lewis. I can't wait for Monaco already.

Lewis was cool about this. He didn't need to make an issue because he had pole anyway. But he let Rosberg squirm whilst saying, ' oh no Nico didn't block me, it's just there were cars in the way'.......and the car in the way was...........Nico's!! Lol.

He's toast if Ferrari start putting a car between him and Lewis with regularity. Vettel is a prick on starts and he tried the same crap on Nico he's tried countless of times before, crowd the guy over near the wall, give given Nico's consistently bad starts he wasn't getting in front of Vettel regardless.
He is talking like a beaten man right out of the gate which at this point not even Massa would do that against Alonso two races in to the season.

He had the speed and the racing line for the corner, and jumped out of the way as he is obviously on the 'cruise and collect' mentality - avoid contact at all costs and bring home the points hoping Lewis runs into problems. He is starting to come across as a lame duck this season, wearing his wifes tampons, and Button used to wear his gfs leotards
Maybe, like the lame duck Buttom he listened too much to the media and has given up trying on track
