New Delhi: Nico Rosberg has grown up watching Michael Schumacher becoming a legend. Now as a teammate-cum-competitor of the seven-time champion, Rosberg enjoys the thrill of racing alongside the man who changed the face of Formula One in Germany.
Rosberg, the son of former F1 champion Keke Rosberg of Finland, started karting in 1996 when Schumacher had already won two races. Today, leading the legend on points is an experience the 26-year-old values a lot.
“It is a great challenge to race against him. I managed to stay ahead of him, but it is difficult. It is great, it is enjoyable,” said the Mercedes GP Petronas driver during an interaction with the media during Bajaj Allianz's ‘Drive Safely' campaign here on Tuesday.
