2016 Formula One world champion Nico Rosberg says watching this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix from the sidelines will be "emotional".
The three-time Monaco Grand Prix winner, who retired from the sport just five days after pipping Lewis Hamilton to last season's F1 title, is set to make his first appearance at a grand prix this year at the upcoming race in Monte Carlo. With the circuit just a short walk from his home, Rosberg says he is anticipating a "special" experience returning to the race as a spectator, rather than as a competitor.
"The Monaco Grand Prix is going to be the most emotional race for me to get back to because I've closed a chapter now on my career and I have all these amazing memories and emotions," Rosberg explained.
