The 11-minute-long video is full of unadulterated gearhead entertainment, but the coolest part is definitely when F1 Champ Nico Rosberg arrives at the twisty roads atop Monaco, where he opens up the 3.0-liter straight-six engine and proceeds to drive it like he stole it. Another cool detail of the video is that the German takes the time to explain how several of the old-school functions of the 300 SL work, and doesn't attempt to mask the fact that it's a 63-year-old car with a few imperfections here and there.

Heck, Rosberg performs a less-than-stellar shift while pulling out of the underground garage in Monaco. It simply goes to show that he's just a normal guy who happens to be a Formula 1 world champion and has a few cooler-than-average toys. Enjoy!

Interesting that Nico can still enjoy driving around at normal speed in traffic.

It must seem like walking speed on the GP circuit
