Rosberg completed a post season move from Williams to Mercedes at the end of the 2009 F1 season having spent 4 years with Williams. The 25 year old German is still a relative rookie in Formula 1 and this year will take on the role as the second driver at Mercedes behind the returning F1 legend Michael Schumacher. Since first testing for Williams in 2004, Rosberg got a permanent drive with the team in 2006 and went on to show that he was a real talent. In 2008 Rosberg secured the first podium finish of his career at the Australian Grand Prix and repeated the feat at the Singapore Grand Prix later the same year, before enjoying a solid if unspectacular season last year.
