AFTER retiring from Formula 1 (F1) in 2016 as a world champion, Nico Rosberg is back in the hot seat – now, as a startup investor. And it is no surprise that he has gravitated towards those focused on mobility.

Following his foray into the venture capital (VC) space, he invested in other mobility startups such as Volocopter, the company behind electric air taxis.
