Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg managed to find another star from the world of motorsport, multiple MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi, for a selfie. Rosberg adds: "I really love the Goodwood Festival of Speed because I very much like old-timers. I was sitting in the library when Valentino joined me and we ate lunch together.

Red Bull Racing driver Daniel Ricciardo swaps four wheels for two for this offering, explaining:  "I love riding bikes. Always have. The speed of course is fun but what I really enjoy is the adventure. Being in the middle of the desert in this case, it's a peaceful yet exciting experience. One which involved the odd camel too!"
