Mika Hakkinen Once Asked How Nico Rosberg Plans to Financially Sustain Himself

To stay connected with the world of motorsport, Nico Rosberg after retiring from Formula 1 started his own YouTube channel and established an Extreme E Racing team.

Rosberg is a huge fan of electric vehicles and an avid car enthusiast and owns an incredible collection of cars. He even recently added the $2 Million Rimac Nevera to his garage which is customised for the 2016 world champion.

In one of his videos back in 2018, he collaborated with 2-time world champion Mika Hakkinen to get a feel of the exclusive model of McLaren P1 which the Finnish driver owns.

Rosberg got to try his hands out on the incredible machinery as he took Hakkinen for a drive on the streets of Monaco.

While driving Hakkinen asked about Rosberg’s future plan, the business side of his plans and what interests him.

The German F1 driver also uses his online presence on YouTube to teach his fans how to master F1 tracks on sim setups.
