Keke and Nico Rosberg will demonstrate their title-winning Formula 1 cars in Monaco on Thursday after the opening practice session for this weekend’s grand prix.

Keke will drive his 1982 Williams FW07C, meanwhile Nico will drive his 2016 Mercedes W07.

Keke’s F1 career ended after the 1986 season, however, he has relatively recent experience with the FW07C, which he demonstrated at the 2010 Bahrain GP.

Nico announced the drive on Twitter, saying:

“On Thursday lunchtime I’m going to be driving with my dad,

“We’re both going to be getting into our world championship winning Formula 1 cars, my dad in his 1982 car me in my 2016 car.

“So we’re going to be bombing it around Monaco together for a couple of laps.

“I think it’s going to be good fun, I’m really looking forward to it.”

Nico’s 2013 Monaco GP win came 30 years after his dad’s victory in the principality and made the Rosbergs the first father-and-son duo to both win the GP.
