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

Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen botไh fell foul of the Rosberg cause in Budapest.

On Saturday Rosberg posted ꩵa photo of Verstappen’s Red Bull, before the reigning champion surprisinglꦑy lost out on pole position.

On Sunday Rosberg s✤napped pole-sitter Hamilton’s Mercedes, and just one lap laꦑter his former teammate had slipped several places back.

ℱ“On race weekends I post a photo of a car, then that 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 that𒁃 we🌟nt completely wrong. That’s the back-story behind this.”

But the Nico Rosberg curse str🌞etches back years and even into other sports.

In the past he has sensationally predi🌟cted Charles Lecl🌊erc to win the Monaco Grand Prix… then the Ferrari driver withdrew before it even started.

And Rosberg picked Germany to beat England at Euro 2020 - and was also spectac⛦ularly wrong.
