A number of Formula One drivers, past and present, have taken to their social media channels to share their reaction to 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg's shock retirement from the sport.
The German broke the news ahead of the annual FIA Prizegiving ceremony in Vienna, saying he has fulfilled his childhood dream and is no longer willing to make the sort of sacrifice associated with the highly competitive environment of grand prix racing.
The overriding sentiment among Rosberg’s peers is that the latest title winner deserves a great deal of respect for his decision. F1 teams and partners, as well as circuit officials, have also also tuned in to sing the praises of the first world champion not to defend his title since Alain Prost in 1994.
