    at least for now. Once that vampire keeps him up all night he may think differently.


    Nico Rosberg becomes a father

    Nico Rosberg and his wife Vivian have become parents for the first time after welcoming their new baby girl into the world on Sunday afternoon.

    Rosberg broke the news over Twitter, saying he and Vivian were "overwhelmed and totally in love". A week ago, the Mercedes driver had made special plans to leave the Belgian Grand Prix as quickly as possible if necessary and revealed he had spent most of the August break preparing for the new arrival.

    "Everything was packed, the car engine was running in the garage," he told reporters in Belgium. "The baby seat is in the Mercedes ML and it took me two hours to put it in there. It was one of the toughest recent experiences!"


    Rosberg will be back in action at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.

    Or maybe some real motivation? Could swing either way.

    Actually, I was joking. Many drivers reached their peak after having children, so who knows.

    My experience in racing against new fathers has shown, without a doubt, that fatherhood slows a racer down.

    At what level did you race though?

    I can agree at the "amateur" level, but not these guys IMO.

    Cheers,

    Schumacher didn't get any slower. If he did...how many titles would he have won :eek:.

    Vettel is still pretty fast too ;).

    +1 Elton is in full control. Shattered Rosberg in quali the last 4 races orso, and whilst Rosberg stays relatively close in races, I think Lewis has been managing the pace instead of pushing.
