On Sunday Rosberg sn🌼apped pole-sitter Hamilton’s Mercedes, and just one lap later his former teammate had slipped several places back.

But the Nico Rosberg curse stretche🌺s back years and even into other sports.

In the past he has sensationally predicted Charles Leclerc to win the M♒onaco Graꦛnd Prix… then the Ferrari driver withdrew before it even started.
