From the outside, Nico Rosberg lived every young racer’s dream: born to a Formula One world champion, raised with a go-kart track in his backyard, and the Monaco Grand Prix roaring outside his bedroom window. But behind the glamour was a different story: one of a sensitive young man dealing with crushing pressure and a bitter friendship-turned-rivalry with Lewis Hamilton that pushed him to his limits.

In this episode, Nico talks about the secret mental training that helped him survive the intensity of Formula One, the final-lap showdown that resulted in his world title, and his decision to retire just five days later, at the peak of his career. He reflects on rebuilding his identity, finding meaning off the track, and teaching his daughters to do the same. Here are his songs.

  1. Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight
  2. Avicii - Levels
  3. U2 - Beautiful Day
  4. Queen - We Are the Champions
  5. Robbie Williams - Something Beautiful
  6. Myles Smith - Stargazing
  7. Klingande - Jubel
