German driver Nico Rosberg promptly retired after winning the 2016 Formula One World Championship. These days he is a television commentator and consultant. In this video he jumps into the McLaren P1 for a spin on roads in and around Monaco with another former race ace, 1998-99 Formula One world champion, Mika Hakkinen. Both men talk about their careers: Rosberg on how he prepared for his 2016 succes, and Hakkinen, aka the ‘Flying Finn’, on what life was like racing against superstars like Ayrton Senna.
