Video: Rosberg father and son squabble over who drives

There are two F1 world champions in the Rosberg family, but when it comes to who drives on the road, Rosberg senior has the upper hand.

Heineken's latest 'When You Drive, Never Drink' responsible consumption campaign pits Nico and Keke Rosberg against each other in a series of light-hearted family activities, the winner of which gets to sit in the driver's seat on the way home.

The succession of challenges shows us that Rosberg Snr remains just as competitive as he was behind the wheel of an F1 car in the 80s.

The father and son rivalry tells us that no matter how confident a driver you are, the best driver is always the one that doesn’t drink and drive.

"Heineken has devoted part of its F1 partnership to conveying a clear and compelling responsibility message that I myself share – one that leaves consumers in no doubt – when you drive, you never drink," said 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg.

"The latest campaign conveys a really powerful message that, regardless of whether you’re a professional driver or not, abstinence behind the wheel is the only option."

Check out the video of the dueling father and son duo.

 

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.
