5 best achievements of Keke Rosberg's F1 career

Rosberg at Monaco: a charming story

F1 Grand Prix of Monaco - Practice

Not once but twice in his career did Keke Rosberg land on the podium at a track which is, well, for the lack of a better word, a second home to one of F1's most familiar faces, Keke's own son, Nico.

The first time that Keke would find himself sipping the champagne at Monaco would be courtesy his stellar effort in 1983 that yielded an incredible win.

Having started the race from fifth on the grid, Rosberg was quickly able to jump ahead, aiming for the track position, despite knowing that the ferocity of Prost in his Renault and Nelson Piquet in his Brabham-BMW.

Going out for a wheel-to-wheel with Piquet and making some magical moves in the famous principality, a track where three decades later, his son, Nico would win, would mark Keke's most famous Monaco moment.

He would return to Monaco, three years later, in 1986 to storm to a famous P2, a feat labelled even more impressive than his win here for it came with the driver having begun from ninth.
