Formula1.com reported that Nico Rosberg discussed his retirement and his relationship with Lewis Hamilton in the latest episode of the official F1 Beyond The Grid podcast. The item was presented as a retrospective interview, with no separate competitive announcement attached.

Rosberg raced in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2016 and ended his career with 206 starts, 23 wins, 30 poles and 57 podiums. As reported by Formula1.com, the former world champion used the podcast appearance to reflect on the end of his driving career and on his connection with Hamilton.

Hamilton remains active in 2026 and sits third in the drivers' championship on 259 points. That current backdrop adds context to Rosberg's remarks, but the report concerned an interview feature rather than any confirmed sporting development.
