Nico Rosberg

There was no joy.

There was no happiness or anything.

It was just, oh my God, relief.

Relief and me saying, that's it, I'm done.

I've done it.

How quickly did you decide?

Oh, on the line, on the line.

No.

Yeah, yeah, I'm done.

This was like when you're watching at home or you're watching the television, it looks like,

The easiest thing in the world to drive that little race car, drive it in circles from time to time, win the race.

But when you're in it and you're in that life, it's like super, super hard.

It's very intense, this thing.

Which all, I think everybody who is in a high performance job...

We'll know this feeling, but it gets exacerbated even more when you're in the public eye and there's hundreds of millions of people following you live.

You're measured by tenths of a second.

Everything is on a knife's edge because driving these race cars is so incredibly hard.

Now, some people listening might say, oh, yada, yada, yada, you're earning the top guys now 50 million a year, just shut up and drive.

But you as a human, you're in your little bubble and everybody has their own struggles then.

And even though you're earning 50 million a year, or the best are now, then the struggles are still real in that moment.
