The Nico Rosberg curse: Ex-F1 champ responds to haunting Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen

The 2016 F1 champion is at the centre of an amusing theory t👍hat, whenever he posts a picture to social media, it results in defeat for the unluck🍸y person he has pictured.
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen both fell foul oꦰf the Rosberg cause in Budapest.

On Saturday Rosberg posted a photo of Verstappen’s Reꦫd Bull, befor🍌e the reigning champion surprisingly lost out on pole position.
On Sunday Rosberg snapped pole-sitter Hamilton’s🃏 Mercedes, and just one 💯lap later his former teammate had slipped several places back.

“On race weekend🅺s I post a photo of a car, then that car goes poorly🎐!
“I need to [hit] the pause button.
“On Saturday 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 ꦏother sports.

In the past he ha♕s sensationally predicted Charles Leclerc to win the Monaco Grand Prix… then the Ferrari dri𒊎ver withdrew before it even started.
And Rosberg picked Germany to beat England at Euro 2020 - and was also s𝕴ဣpectacularly wrong.
