  • Reigning but retired world champion Nico Rosberg will remain a prominent member of the Mercedes family as an ambassador for the German manufacturer.

    Rosberg stunned the sport at the end of last season, hanging up his driving gloves and steering wheel just days after winning his first championship title.

    While Rosberg has not divulged how he plans on shaping his future, or if he plans on remaining connected one way or the other with motor racing, he will remain committed to Mercedes as a spokesperson and public relations figure.

    Mercedes have announced that the 31-year-old will make his first public appearance in his new role next Tuesday in Geneva.

    At the event, Rosberg will appear alongside Lewis Hamilton at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie on behalf of team partner IWC Schaffhausen.
