Nico Rosberg appears as a new pundit in season eight of Drive to Survive on Netflix, released on Friday.
The 2016 F1 world champion, who works as an expert throughout the season with Sky Sports, features in the Netflix docu-series, replacing Jenson Button – who in turn filled in for Danica Patrick last year.
Will Buxton and Claire Williams continue in their roles as pundits while Rosberg appears briefly, most notably when discussing McLaren’s intra-team title battle last season.
Lando Norris’ inaugural championship triumph came at the expense of Australian teammate Oscar Piastri, who was leading the standings for most of the season.
Rosberg himself was embroiled in a fierce intra-team title contest with Lewis Hamilton, coming out on top in 2016 after missing out in 2014 and 2015.
German driver Rosberg then surprisingly retired a few weeks after winning that first world championship.
His direct and outspoken form of punditry has won him fans in the United Kingdom, while he also manages his time at races with German broadcaster Sky Sport.

Rosberg, 40, is set to continue his expert role in the upcoming season, which starts with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 8 March.
Rosberg will appear across the season alongside the likes of Martin Brundle, Anthony Davidson, Naomi Schiff, Karun Chandhok and Bernie Collins.
