#3 Nico Rosberg
Nico Rosberg is another one of the modern German legends to have graced the world of Formula One. Making his debut in 2006 as an unassuming rookie, Rosberg worked his way up the ranks in a below-par Williams car and had to wait till 2008 for his first ever podium finish. It was only onward and upward from that point on however, and powered by his unique skill and reckless abandon when it came to overtaking, the team managed to finish in the top half more often than not.
After moving to Mercedes in 2010 and rubbing shoulders with his hero Michael Schumacher, Nico won his first race in 2012 at the Chinese Grand Prix, and within a couple of years was battling with new teammate Lewis Hamilton for the driver's championship. After falling short in two previous seasons, Rosberg finally won the crown in 2016 with 385 points and announced his retirement soon after.
