Nico Rosberg never raced for Ferrari in F1, which perhaps explains why the 2016 world champion half-jokingly offered his services to the Scuderia last month, when a stewards' penalty at the Italian Grand Prix pushed Sebastian Vettel closer to a one-race ban.

However, it's unlikely we'll ever see the German on the F1 grid straddling a prancing horse, but a stint onboard Ferrari's fiercely outrageous Monza SP1 super car is perhaps the next best thing.

Rosberg recently made the trek from Monaco to Maranello to try out for size the limited production stunning design.

The test wasn't as discrete as it was meant to be however, with Instagrammer Simone Masetti catching sight of the former F1 driver and snapping a shot before he embarked on his luxurious joy ride.

Expect footage of the test drive any day now on Nico's YouTube channel.

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.
