Nico's very own Mercedes edition! Designed based on Nicos on track characteristics. Mercedes has announced a special ‘Nico Rosberg’ edition of its A45 AMG hot hatchback which boasts a number of bespoke features including a unique ‘brake fault’ that provides the driver with the perfect excuse for acting like a bellend.
Sources in Stuttgart say the A45 Nico Rosberg Edition is specifically tuned for manoeuvres such as failing to take a corner properly, twatting into another motorist and other situations in which the driver deliberately doesn’t use enough steering lock like a silly tit.
In the event of an accident, the A45 Nico Rosberg Edition comes with a comprehensive recovery package which entitles the owner to a full diagnostic check, after which the dealer will tell them there is a ‘brake fault’ even though that doesn’t really tally with the dick move that got them into trouble in the first place.
On top of the made up brake problems and inadequate steering lock, each Nico Rosberg Edition A-class is registered in three different countries and designed to emit a regular whining sound.sniffpetrol.com/2016/07/04/mercedes-announces-a-class-rosberg-edition/#.V3zOx_l96M9

Wow... over at Autosport, I can't remember the last time I read anything this harsh about a driver's skill set, Even Maldonado fared less biting criticism than this.

Nico has to seriously step up his game... this season he can wind up with his second of the most dubious records in the sport. Most consecutive wins from the start of the season without a championship (4) and most wins without a championship. He's already got a firm grip on that second one, a record that may never be broken.

Uh oh! I think Nico's just got himself into trouble. In a quiz he was asked how old is Toto. His first answer was 52, then he said 54 and when he was told 10 years younger he replied '44, he doesn't look it'

Nico Rosberg trying to win a race from pole position when Hamilton is next to him.

Hmm...nah I still like this version better: Nico pointing his car towards Lewis to cut him off....and forget how to start a race, loses to two RBs.

Everything about his statement screams of someone who hasn't got that edge needed to win championships.
It was always going to be difficult to battle back from FOURTH place? In a Merc? Jesus.
And he thinks it was the penalty that cost him against the redbulls?

This article makes uncomfortable reading for Rosberg and his fans. m.f1reader.com/news/is-it-over-for-nico-rosberg-151949 (it's a weird link, I'll post it in full) July has been a mixed month for Nico Rosberg. On the one hand he has a new two-year Mercedes contract in his back pocket, and on the other he is facing the prospect of another title defeat to Lewis Hamilton. Rosberg’s campaign began in flying form as he claimed four wins on the trot and, according to the sport’s history books, was assured of the World title given that every driver who has ever won the opening four races has gone on to win the Drivers’ Championship title. Throw in the fact that he had a 43-point advantage over Hamilton, and he was smiling all the way to the chequered flag. And then it all changed. Following their lap 1 double DNF in Spain, Hamilton burst back with six wins at the next seven grands prix to claim 160 points from the 175 available. Rosberg, in sharp contrast, won just one race and only made it onto the podium in two others. This heralded a turnaround in the standings with Hamilton 19 points ahead of his team-mate after Sunday’s German GP win. So it is all over for Rosberg? Mathematically of course not, there are still 225 points to play for. There are also Hamilton’s pending grid penalties to come, which could see him drop as many as 15 places at one race, and that you’d expect would hand Rosberg a free run to the chequered flag. It is the mental part, though, that may the German’s undoing. An arduous home race in which he struggled to get off the line from pole position was followed by a cheap move on Max Verstappen, one that resulted in a penalty for Rosberg. As such instead of fighting back at his home grand prix, he fell even further off the pace. He is, however, adamant that he has the fortitude to come back from this. “I have enough evidence to show myself that I’m strongest after difficult moments, time and time again, so no issues there,” he said. However, history – his own history and not those of the legends of the past – and his inability to beat Hamilton to the crown in previous seasons says otherwise. Perhaps this year Rosberg will make his mark as the one driver in F1’s history to win the opening four races and still come up short.

Wonder if Nico will run #1 on the his car next year.

I would say: Yes!
He was asked by Sky on Sunday - He refused to answer.

Also Merc would probably want for the #1 to be on car.

If Nico doesn't want it, Vettel would like to see if he can have it back. Kind of respected that from the Hamster, you don't need to the numero uno to let the world know.
Interesting question, let's see what he does.
