Formula 1: The rise of the storm, the other German- Nico Rosberg

Nico Rosberg celebrating a win

Storms do not always come with a warning, thundery and unpredictable nothing comes in between the chaos caused by their storming

When will it come and with what vigour will it arrive,

Just how destructive is its intent, what is the subject behind it’s strive

There are more questions than any clues left in the way of a storm

Arriving with vehemence, one can be sure that there is going to be some harm

But when a storm arrives in a maddening wagon at top speed, It knows only to stop at the top stable of greatness,

then whatever comes as the second best, it pays no heed

Roaring with a mission to disrupt and shake the ambience removing all peace

Reverberating with magnificence remains its silent agenda, standing on top being almost a contagious disease

One such storm arrived on the Formula one scene in 2002, and began causing great turnstiles

Finding a seat in Williams, it began moving up the ladder and its path to reach greatness wasn’t going to take a long while

It had played the second hero for long

A P5, P4, or at best being the second fastest wasn’t going to be the scene for long

Oodles of sweat accompanied fiery determination

To win the spectator’s beating heart with maddening drives out there, was to be the sole ambition

After Williams, came the chance for the storm to find a home with Mercedes,

Already outdoing the pro’s out there, succeeding ahead of daunting expectations was a must, there would certainly be lots of difficulties

But, enter 2013, and the storm began taking its chances in the open

With every track, every curve, there was an equally spirited response

After all, riding in the zooming four wheeler was not any ordinary storm

The naysayers were also given their chances to speak

While they doubted with enthusiasm the talent of the storm, it was busy topping speed charts and there were already testing circuits that were beginning to get peaked

Being second to Schumacher wasn’t going to be an easy task

But this was no mean pushover , it was a storm that could drive hell fast

The podiums were beginning to welcome this mighty German

Be it at Malaysia, or China, speeding with a rage was never going to be a burden

The rest of the lot finally took notice,

that what lied ahead of them would be no lame obstacle

This was the beginning of the rise of a force that would do anything to win and had demonstrated that imposing threats could also be tackled

The Alonso’s were being held off and the Button’s had already pressed the panic button

Competing with them was no ordinary star, it was a force that could be as demonic as the Satan

Why should the Vettel’s only rule the roost and why should Germany be known only by the glories of Sebastian

The iconic world of F1 was getting to know a star that could stop the Spaniard, trounce Schumi and even press a warning to Button

Never the one to celebrate by a thumping ‘in your face expression’

New glories were shining on the bay of this storm, Nico was the new rising star of the F1 kingdom

Enter 2014, and the engines changed and so did the rules

The Raikkonen’s were seen struggling, the Vettel’s left way behind, but the storm continued to foray toward greatness, there was but one name that would rule

As if there was a chaos with this storming in the starry world of Formula one

Where others were beginning to lose the grip of the race, the speed charts, this cool bloke had it all won

Eclipsing newer seas of greatness, thumping record after record, qualifying on pole became a common phenomenon

This storm was certainly going to last

When ice melts and becomes a challenger to voyagers transforming into a giant mass called an Iceberg,

Let us not forget it can even derail Titanic or so seems the plan of this wonder talent called Nico Rosberg

With just the right car and the perfect balance of mind, body and spirit

This ‘other’ German has loomed large on the F1 galaxy and is storming his way to become an all time hit
