The former Formula 1 world champion invests in startups. He has now founded his own venture firm, which even wealthy families can invest in.
It was the race of his life. On November 27, 2016, Nico Rosberg finished second in a dramatic race at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, behind his rival Lewis Hamilton. And that was enough – Rosberg became Formula 1 World Champion. "My foot was shaking with tension on the accelerator, it was really bouncing. I'd never experienced anything like it before and I'll never experience it again," Rosberg once said of that time . And: "If I had lost a second, I wouldn't have become world champion."
