What happens in Vegas won't stay in Vegas for Nico

Nico Rosberg is on the move, the 2016 F1 world champion visiting Las Vegas this week to attend the annual CES consumer technology show.

Since he retired from active duty, Rosberg has immersed himself in the world of "impacting technologies", which Rosberg defines as technologies that will “change the world for the better without taking anything away from the present."

As a potential investor, and a spokesperson for technology outlets, the former Mercedes star has sounded out and explored companies all over the globe, from China to Silicon Valley.

If it captures his interest, whatever happens for Nico in Vegas likely won't stay in Vegas.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
