(AP) -- Formula One champion Nico Rosberg stunningly retired from racing on Friday, five days after earning his first world championship.
"I have decided to end my Formula One career. I had a very, very clear dream, that was to become Formula One world champion. I have achieved this childhood dream now and I am not willing to do that sort of commitment again," Rosberg said in Vienna.
