The 2016 F1 champion is at the centre 🍌of an amusing theory that, whenever he posts a picture to social media, it results in defeat for the unlucky person he has pictured.

Lewis Ham🐈ilton and Max Verstappen 🐷both fell foul of the Rosberg cause in Budapest.

On Satur༺day Rosberg posted a photo of Verstappen’s Red Bull, before the reigning champion surprisingly lost out on pole position.

🙈On Sunday Rosberg snapped pole-sitter Hamilton’s Mercedes, and just one🅺 lap later his former teammate had slipped several places back.

“On race weekends I post a photo of a car, then thatꦗ car goes poorly!

“I need to [hit] the pause button.

“On Saturday I posted Max’s car and he lost in qualifying. On Sunday I posted Lewis’ car and that went completely wr💯ong. That’s t🅠he back-story behind this.”

But the Nico Rosberg curse stretches back years and even into ot༒her sports.

In the past he has sensationally predicted Charles Leclerc to win the Monaco🐓 Grand Prix… then the Ferrari driveꦺr withdrew before it even started.

And Rosberg p💜icked Germany to beat England at Euro 2020 - and was also spectacula🅰rly wrong.
