Mercedes AMG German driver and second position driver in the 2014 F1 championship, Nico Rosberg took a selfie of himself driving a Mercedes-Benz 1954 W196 car. Their partners for their F1 team are Blackberry and they requested Nico Rosberg if he could record a video selfie of him driving.

Now we are always told not to use a mobile phone while driving as it can cause an accident on the road, but this video selfie by Nico Rosberg was done at a circuit, with no other vehicles.

Since the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car is old, it was not an easy task for Rosberg to achieve. Camera in one and steering wheel in the other without power assistance, must have made it difficult. Check the video below as Rosberg takes a selfie only on straights and keeps the mobile back in turns.
