Nico Rosberg will join the Sky Sports pundit team for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix, the reigning Formula 1 world champion has confirmed.
Rosberg retired from the sport after claiming his maiden F1 title last year, beating then Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton during a thrilling Abu Dhabi final.
The German's last victory in the sport came at the Japanese GP where he beat Max Verstappen over the line in a closely fought battle.
"I am thrilled to confirm I will be joining the Sky F1 team this weekend in Japan," Rosberg said.
"Since my retirement last year I have only attended a few Grands Prix so I am pleased to return to the fold.
"In 2016 I had a great win at this track, so I am looking forward to share my insights and memories of Suzuka.
"I love this race track and the fans are also amazing. It will be great to have the opportunity to thank the Japanese fans for their wonderful support over the years."
Sky's broadcast includes the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy.
