From falling off his e-scooter to wetting himself in the cockpit, there’s always been a touch of Alan Partridge about Nico Rosberg. | |
And the 2016 world champion was at it again during the Hungarian grand prix, squabbling with a child on live TV. | |
During a segment with three junior go-karters, Nico confided in them that his nickname at Mercedes was Britney, due to his long hair. “It was not cool”, he recalled, still seething at the moniker. | |
A few minutes later, the former Mercedes driver got up to leave, and one of the kids told him: “Good luck Britney, I hope you do well.” | |
Rosberg stopped in his tracks, and hissed: “No Scarlett that was not cool. I share a secret there with you guys, that was not cool at all.” | |
“Thank you Britney,” came Scarlett’s reply, leading Nico to death-stare her and growl, “please apologise”. | |
Finally, Scarlett said a quiet "sorry”, and Rosberg flounced off. |
