Nico Rosberg and his father Keke demonstrated their Formula 1 World Championship winning cars at the Monaco Grand Prix. The Rosbergs are the only father-son combination to win the famous race in Monte Carlo and are among a handful of world champions from the same family.

Nico Rosberg won the race three years in a row from 2013, his first win coming exactly 30 years after his father's first triumph.

Keke Rosberg won the 1982 title, famously winning just one race in the season, while his son scaled the top of the championship in 2016 before retiring from the sport in shocking circumstances a week later.

Nico Rosberg drove his Mercedes W07 around the streets he grew up on after Thursday's first practice session, while his father was behind the wheel of his old Williams FW07C.

It was Nico Rosberg's second demonstration run in as many weeks after he took the next-generation Formula E car around the streets of Berlin at last weekend's ePrix.
