Nico Rosberg, who celebrated his 31st birthday on Monday, was given the opportunity to drive the McLaren-Mercedes MP4-13 that his F1 idol Mika Hakkinen drove to the 1998 world championship. The birthday surprise came as part of a media event held at Hockenheim to promote the return of the German Grand Prix this year.
