While discussing the race in the cool-down room, Baku race winner Nico Rosberg hits himself in the face with part of his earpiece

We shouldn't laugh but watch - and try not to wince - as Nico Rosberg hits himself in the face after winning the European GP.

The Mercedes driver was in the Baku warm-down room when the incident occurred.

Watch for yourselves - and listen for the snap as Nico's earpiece turns nasty…

It was about the only thing that went wrong for Rosberg on the day as the German romped to the 19th Grand Prix victory of his Formula One career.

Rosberg led from start to finish in Baku and has extended his lead in the championship standings to 24 points over team mate Lewis Hamilton, who came home in fifth place after enduring a frustrating afternoon.

"Everything went to plan for me, so it was really awesome," said Rosberg after the race. "The weekend went perfectly."
