The 2016 F1 champion is at the centre of an amusing theory that, whe♛never he posts a picture to social media, it results in defeat for the unlucky person he has pictured.

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstapp💝en both fell foul of the Rosberg cause in Buda🎐pest.

On Saturday Rosberg posted a photo of Verstappen’s Red Bull, before the reigning champion surprisingly lost out on polꦯe pos♎ition.

On Sunday 🌸Rosberg snapped pole-sitter Hamilton’s Mercedes, and just one lap later his former teammate had slipped several places back🎶.

“On race weekends I post a photo of a car, then that car goes poorlဣy!

“I need to [hit] the pause button.

“On Saturda🌳y I posted Max’s car and he lost in qualifying. On Sunday I posted Lewis’ car and that went completely wrong. That’s the back-story behind this.”

But the Nico Rosberg curse stretches back years🍸 and even into other sports.

In the past he has sensationally predicted Charles Leclerc to win the🔜 Monaco Grand Prix… then ཧthe Ferrari driver withdrew before it even started.

And Rosberg picked Germany to beat England at Eur🌜o🍸 2020 - and was also spectacularly wrong.
