A year ago, Nico Rosberg was in the middle of the best month of his life as he married his long-term partner Vivian and Germany won the FIFA World Cup. Rosberg was initially going to run a special tribute helmet with the World Cup trophy on top, but a copyright complaint meant he was forced to change it last minute to feature stars symbolising each German victory. The good run continued at Hockenheim, though, as he then won his home race.

He's also written professionally about GP2 (now Formula 2), GP3, IndyCar, World Rally Championship, MotoGP and NASCAR. In his other professional life, Andrew is a freelance writer, social media consultant, web developer/programmer, and digital specialist in the fields of accessibility, usability, IA, online communities and public sector procurement.
