Nico Rosberg quotes:
-
It's very, very special for me. This is where I've grown up, it's my home, and winning the Monaco Grand Prix is the highlight of any racing driver's career and for me a childhood dream. It being my home makes it all the more special, unbelievable.
-
No matter how good a driver you are, you have to have the right car and the right team behind you in order to succeed.

My dad is a great manager. He's not just competent - he's very clever.

Winning at Monaco feels unbelievable, because it's such a special race and it's also my home race. My first memories were of watching Ayrton Senna here with his yellow helmet, and one day dreaming to win the Monaco GP.
-
Pressure is always a part of a racing driver's life, but my father helped me a lot on my way to becoming a F1 driver.

I am a demanding person to interview.
-
I remember my father's last race very clearly when he drove at Hockenheim in front of 100,000 people and I was sitting next to him on the roof of his car and waving to the fans. That was the moment when I thought: 'One day I want to do the same.'
-
For me it was a normality having a father who was a world champion. I grew up with that, so it was never extra pressure. And I've never felt the need to emerge from his shadow.
