The grid girls did divide the attention of F1 fans at the Hockenheim racing circuit over the weekend but it was Rosberg who stole the show out-and-out.

Rosberg was cheered on by Germany World Cup winner Lukas Podolski in the Mercedes pits while the grid girls added oomph and glamour to the race.

Rosberg's win came after a week in which he had married his long-term girlfriend Vivian Sibold, signed an extended contract with Mercedes and celebrated Germany's World Cup victory.
