-

MONACO: Former world champion Nico Rosberg is "done with driving" but ahead of the 2019 Formula 1 season, the racer in him is most excited about Ferrari fielding two "number one drivers" in Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc for the first time in a decade. 21-year-old Leclerc is being touted as a future world champion after an impressive debut season with Sauber last year. Ferrari had a clear number one and two in Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen for the past four seasons but all of that is set to change with the arrival of Leclerc. "That's super exciting because he's fast, he's very, very fast (Leclerc). He has everything to be world champion one day, and against Sebastian there, because until now, Sebastian had a clear No. 2 on the team and now that's over," Rosberg told a select group of media ahead of the Laureus World Sports Awards here.
