So much for loyalty! Nico Rosberg has just become a Formula 1 World Champion behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS racing car, but has already swtiched to a car made by the rivals. Paparrazzi have caught him driving a Ferrari LaFerrari around Monaco.

Nico Rosberg driving a Ferrari? That’s an image to behold! The German was driving a smart electric drive around the busy streets of Monaco and he had a Pagoda to cruise along the Mediterranean Coast. But after retiring from Formula 1, Rosberg wanted something more exciting and glamorous. And so he switched to the Prancing Horse of Ferrari.
The German champion was seen pampering his LaFerrari hyperar, checking the tire pressure in a gas station in Monte Carlo, Monaco, not far from the place where former teammate Lewis Hamilton crashed his Pagani Zonda 760LH. And wait, it gets even stranger than that: to prove he is still loyal to the brand he won the World Championship with, he was still wearing a Mercedes-branded T-shirt.
The Ferrari hypercars seem to be irresistible to Formula 1 drivers. Naturally, the drivers of La Scuderia, Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen, drive one. But both (current and former) Mercedes racers have got one, too. It must be the 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 2.5 seconds that fascinates them and attracts them like a magnet. The wicked hypercar comes with 950 HP and a top speed of 218 mph (350 km/h). Dizzy yet?
