Nico Rosberg says even driving a formula one car on the streets of Monaco didn't whet his appetite for a comeback.
Ahead of the Monaco GP, the 2016 world champion joined his father Keke for a F1 demonstration run.
Asked if it made him consider racing again, the German told Corriere della Sera: "For five seconds, yes.
"When I got into the cockpit it was like coming home. But it went right away. I'm so happy," Rosberg insisted.
Indeed, he said he is also happy to be a mere spectator of the 2018 season.
"It's a spectacular fight between three teams," said Rosberg. "No one has any idea who will win on Sunday, which is the perfect scenario."
And although Mercedes was dominant in Spain and Red Bull looks quickest in Monaco, he tipped Ferrari to win in the end.
"I did not expect them to be so good this season. At the moment it's the best car," he said.

Im actually inclined to agree with him, but it depends. This year its very situational, meaning Ferrari is the best car at some circuits, Mercedes dominate on others and so on. So this year we dont really have A best car, more like A set of best cars.

I think he is happier outside of F1 though. And to return to Mercedes now? Would just rekindle that whole mess, and nobody would come out of it happier.

Comeback? There are maybe five occupations in the world better than being a successful Formula 1 racing driver. One of them is being a rich Ex-racing driver. It never gets old.
