Bernie Ecclestone says Nico Rosberg’s shock retirement is certainly not good for Formula One but the German will only be remembered as one-time World Champion and not a great of the sport.
Rosberg’s decision, though widely respected, opened a debate over the timing of his retirement, which came five days after he secured the world title at the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Can he be put in the same league of his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton, a three-time champion, or the likes of Vettel and Alonso, who have won four and two titles respectively?
