The new look Nico Rosberg

It seems much has changed in F1 land during the off season. Teams have been rebranded, court cases being held to resolved arguments about rights to names and teams continue to try to talk themselves up as diplomatically as possible.

However a big change at Mercedes has taken place. Nico Rosberg has at long last cut off his flowing golden locks and grown a very masculine beard. He looks remarkably different, is this perhaps a sign he's moving forward in his F1 career and ready to take the next step? Or just a man who got sick of his long hair and couldn't be bothered shaving? You decide.
