WHY I WAS SO FAST - GO-KARTING AS A KID | NICO ROSBERG 

Hey Nico respect to your Father for putting that much effort and passion into turning making you one of the best F1 drivers ever, and of course respect to you for paying him back with the World Championship Trophy.

If you think it was hard for Nico to succeed in the racing world having all the karts his father could afford, having your own track at home and expert advise from a wolrd champion. Imagine how hard it must be for kids that their parents work extra hard to afford one kart and pay to rent a track for the kid to do his runs and practice. Kudos to Nico and a round of applause to all that even struggling financially win because of their raw talent. And their parents for the awesome dedication, even without knowing if it will payoff.

can you ask you father keke tell us some storyies about his f1 career ,like a q&a or something . i remember my dad telling me ,i dont know in what year at the monaco gp keke was so tired from changing the gears that he couldnt lift the trophy up (it kinda impressed me how hard and more dangerous f1 used to be)

Gentlemen, a short view back to the past...

Most people don't realise the work and dedication needed to be a succesful racing driver. I myself am a driver, you start doing karting at a very young age, and as you progress it starts becoming your entire life, racing week in week out, with nothing on your mind than to get the best result possible. You train every day to achieve your goal, missing in school a lot of times even, putting everything aside just for this. Some are lucky enough to make a career out of it, for some like me one day you get to a level were you need a lot of money to progress further. Wich most of us don't have. Then you are left with nothing. No education, no future prospects. You only know how to be a racing driver because from the age of 6 that's all that you have done. Looking at this just takes me back to the karting days, I'm very sad I couldn't achieve my goal of becoming a full time racing driver just because of money. And there tens if not hundreds other like me. I'm happy that you have achieved your goal. And I totally understand why you stoped, it's the only sensible thing to do for you as you know have a family. Grüsse von Frankreich Nico, ich hoffe das du alle deine nächste Ziele schaffst!

Brings a tear to my eye, thanks a lot for letting us see a future champion!

I'm so happy how keke take care of nico. After training, keke help nico pull nico glove and helmet. He also help to unzip nico race suit. I just love it. =)

This has really been his entire life. I feel nico wants to be there for his kids the way his dad was there in this video and if he continues tomrace and be on the road and away from home all most the hole year and his kids may never get into racing. Think of hus retirement as an investment in another generation of the Rosbergs being on the F1 grid👍

Thank you nico for sharing this, all happy memories I take it ?

F1 champion as pit crew - priceless :)

What a wonderful caring father to work with you like that. His legacy was passed on as shown by the your love and dedication for your own children. Great video, thanks for sharing.

“Why I was so fast” Because I had a kart track in my garden... WHY!

You were a very lucky kid to have this chance as we all dreamed about 😀Well done man and thanks for sharing

This is amazing Nico. Congrats on your WDC. Life goes by too quick! Enjoy it all

My god, you look so much like your dad. Cheers from England, love you man

Wow, i didn't expect to see this kind of footage. But this video is amazing and it brought tears to my eyes and smile to my face.

I loved the video. It inspiring in so many ways. Thank you for sharing this. It shows the success doesn’t come easy. It requires hard work for long term, details, discipline , etc but most importantly you gotta love what you are doing. And the support of the family... that’s priceless .

What great memories. It’s great you are cherishing the time you had and have with your father.

Whats a father you have Nico. He is not like a typical Finn. He does things his own way, and the results are fantastic.

What a lovely thing to Share nico. Memories Of my father are much The same. Happy days. Thankyou for posting it. Made me smile 👍

My god, he's been doing this his entire life!!

Marvelous video you shared, Nico. And even more happy to see what probably inspired you to make Rosberg Racing team so that new talents could get this chance you got from your father. That's even more important than your driver career in F1, in my own opinion.

Thanks for sharing Nico, this was a really nice moment.

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your families home videos with us

Beautiful footage to cherish! Thanks for sharing! What a wonderful upbringing!

Incredible footage! Great to see that. Congrats Nico.

Hi Nico, I loved this video as my son ( who is 10 and a BIG fan of yours) has also got into karting . Your relationship with your dad looked so beautiful. If you could reply to me I'd be so grateful as I could show my son and receive some kudos as a mum!! All the best - Andrea (UK) x

Heartwarming stuff, thanks for posting.

This spoke for itself.... Awesome, thank you for posting Nico!

Grandissimo Nico! ci manchi un casino... ti ho sempre ammirato... Grazie per tutte le emozioni che ci hai dato (e per le tue interviste in lingua italiana)

Best video I’ve watched in a long time

and I had to walk to martial arts training, best in Eu, still walking lol... mad respect Nico, with help or without, it takes sacrifice to become number ONE.

Soooo schön, Nico, dass du uns über deine ersten Schritte im Rennsport informierst. Die Bilder sind einfach nur phänomenal! Wie schnell die Zeit doch manchmal vergeht, huh, da stehst du erst noch vor deiner großartigen Karriere und jetzt hast du alles erreicht, du bist Weltmeister! Da ist es einfach immer nur schön sich an seine Anfänge zurückzuerinnern! Megaaaaa schönes Video! Viel Spaß dir mit deiner Familie 🤗

Lovely nico, thanks for sharing this with us ☺

Thank you for sharing this. I wasnt fortunate enough to drive karts as a kid - thats why im working hard now to give that opportunity to my kids one day.

I'm speechless, amazing video!!

That was awesome to watch. Your dad looks like Tim Richmond from nascar in the 80s. Keep making your videos. I’m a bigger fan now than I was when you raced

WOW! .. Such a beautiful story Nico

Never thought I'd ever see Keke Rosberg in flower shorts kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I also remember watching F1 with my dad every weekend, going race in our local kartodrome and helping him in garage (he used to restore classic cars and even built a Bugatti T-35 replica). Unfortunately, he's not in this world anymore, but the memories will never fade away. That's what really matters.

an extraordinary father and the sweetest images I've ever seen

Awesome Nico. Great look into your history.

This is so wonderful♥️

Tolle Bilder... wenn ich mich noch mal ans Finale in Abu Dhabi 2016 erinnere - einfach der Wahnsinn. Unglaublich emotionale Szenen, echte Gänsehautmomente. Die Einstellung bzgl. seines Rücktritts von der aktiven Karriere hat mir imponiert

Miss you Nico! From your #1 fan in Texas! ❤️

Lovely video man!

Awesome Nico!

Ich find das sehr toll das du jetzt mit RU-vid anfängst! Danke fürs mitteilen! Alles Gute Nico!

Una alegria ver estas imagenes! Gracias Nico por el 2016! Y gracias por compartir estas emotivas imagenes con nosotros! Abrazo

This is the best video.

I enjoy very much this video. Mr Rosberg is making a champion,but is better is making his best friend.

You are truly blessed Nico

Nico, You are my favorite driver, 2016 was a dream. thanks a lot.

Im so jealous watching this at the same time happy for you.. Seeing i was you.. I was this kind of kid who would want to be in a competitive sport.. I wish i had one of my parent who can at least cheer for me to what i want, to accomplish for them and myself..

The funnel made of a half water bottle is epic, and that despite money, Keke remained humble

Sydäntä lämmittävää nostalgiaa. Kiitos! :-)

WOW! Thanks for sharing!

Eri bellissimo!!! 😍😍😍 (Lo sei anche adesso, non ti preoccupare eheh) Quella determinazione e cattiveria con cui abbassi la visiera del casco è la stessa che ho visto all’inizio del campionato 2016: è la fame di vittoria 😘 grazie ❤️

Fantastic insight into your youth. Looks like you had, and still have, a great relationship with your dad.

Eine tolle Kindheit... sehr diszipliniert und dennoch eine Einheit ... Mega Respekt an deine Leistung und an deine Familie. ;) hoffe ich kann es meinem Sohn genauso ermöglichen... fängt dieses Jahr Ankündigung wird im Juni 6 . Ich habe eine Träne für dich da gelassen in Abu Dhabi. Gänsehaut pur ... große Klasse

Fantastic !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Such a cool video!

Seen this video before, the dream! When I was 15 we traveled to Loheac France, saw pictures of 8yr old nico driving there. 2 years later I saw him and Lewis race at Lonato. We all knew theyd both be in F1 just a matter of when. The resources they had were huge, they had their own team with like an old F1 truck and already back then their karts were designed as the F1 McLaren. Even remember the name MBM.com. Following F1 and Karting was so intresting back then. Saw him race Schummi at the Karting World Championship in Kerpen, great memories too
