"But two children will be a challenge as well, so I want to take more time in the future to support Vivian."

A cool rivalry

Speaking about the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, he said: "The fight is cool to watch and very different as well.

"It's a completely different situation for Lewis.  To fight against another team means that he has the whole team behind him, not half the team like before."

Rosberg will attend this weekend's race on the streets of Monaco, where he has lived his whole life.

Her concluded: "I took a lot of time to recover from the stresses and all the celebrations of last year. 

"Not I'm going to take on new challenges, meet people, talk to them -there's always something interesting going on."
