Keke Rosberg, born on December 6, 1948, in Stockholm, Sweden, is a former Finnish racing driver and the 1982 Formula 1 World Champion. Known for his fearless driving style and charismatic personality, Rosberg achieved significant success in an era marked by intense competition. He began his F1 career in 1978 and rose to fame with the Williams team, where he won his first and only championship in 1982, despite winning only one race that season—a testament to his consistency and skill.
