Nico Rosberg returned to the paddock for the first time since his retirement today to look at the cars setting laps at Barcelona for day three of pre-season testing.
The German was seen in the Mercedes garage, with whom he remains an ambassador for. However despite suggestions, he claims he has no regrets over his decision to quit the sport.
"There was not one single moment where I thought 'Oh, damn I should be sitting in that car'," he said. "That was interesting for me to realize, and perfect of course."
Rosberg spoke to his replacement Valtteri Bottas on his return, and says he is exited to see the cars, stating they look "aggressive".
"It's good to be back, first of all to see my racing family again. And it's such a massive hype at the moment so I want to see it first hand as well and see the new cars. They look absolutely monstrous," Rosberg told television reporters.
"Very, very aggressive and everybody's excited and that's great to see. The drivers are loving it and I think this year they will be proper gladiators out there.
"The cars will take them to their physical limits and we might even see drivers losing race wins because of just being game over physically. And that's what we need."
