I can't wait to hear how Rosberg does.

Yea, I dont really mind about Muller, hes always been around somewhere in motor racing but dont see him ever driving an F1 car again after his test at Barcelona. I for one am much more interested in seeing how Rosberg does, it will be interesting to see how an under 18 year old controls 850 horsepower!!! I mean, he can drive an F1 car, but isnt even old enough to get a drivers licence!!!

It will be a great chance to 'set some markers' for his future.

Nico talking to friends...

Friend: Hey Nico, I got my driver's license today!!

Nico: Oh really? I just drove an 850+ horsepower Williams F1 car!

I think to be able to say that is a prize in itself!!

It is a bit of a coversation killer in some circumstances, and an ice breaker in others.

thats very funny jens...i will see you bust some moves on your new bike

if rosberg can actually prove a point, that he is capable...then he might just have a VERY VERY BRIGHT future...considering he is almost 10 years yonger to average f1 drivers.....on the contrary if he does not perform his entire 15 years of possible f1 racing may go down the drain

we are putting too much pressure on the kid....

what if he doest pass his drivers license test???

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

I dont think this test puts any pressure on Rosberg. He is still young, and inexperienced relatively, so I think he is not under any pressure to perform. But even if he doesn't, its a great way to pick up the girls !

Ah!! so the real reason comes out.

thats actually a great way to pick up girls....

but i wonder how much he'd get paid for the testing???

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

I am guessing he will not be paid for the test, as it is indeed a prize for winning the championship in itself. But I think if he can secure a test driver spot, then yes for sure it will be a paid position.

[nichosnz 0]

No I would not think he would be paid for a one-off test, that was a prize in the first place. Besides at his age and stage in his career, the test itself is payment enough.

[Rohan 0]

i guess..he might not get paid, but more likely a chance to stunn the audience....so it benefits him later on..

[nichosnz 0]

Oh yes the future benefits could be huge, it could begin a chain of events that end up with him being a part, with Keke (Keijo), of F1's second only DWC father/son pairing. After Graham and Damon Hill.

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

That would be interesting to see. I used to think Tomas Scheckter would be the next to accomplish it, but it seems he's in the States for good.

[nichosnz 0]

It does seem that way doesn't it. It would have been ironic if it was the Scheckter's as the only South African DWC's would be a father/son pairing.

[TotalF1 Jens 0]

Would have made it special in a way yes, but I think Scheckter could have done it. It really is a shame that he lost his job with Jaguar because of the whole "car incident" which I think in no way should refelct his status on track. Maybe one day we will see him in F1, I hope so.

[nichosnz 0]

That whole car incident goes to prove he would have been good over the chicanes at Hockenheim, had the Old (classic) Hockenheim been retained, lol.

Hahahahh, HAHHAHHAHA!!
