One of the finest wins of Keke's career came at the year of his son's birth: 1985. It was the Australian GP of 1985 where Keke's remarkable charge to the front of the grid would fashion a memorable triumph amid stunned and wide-eyed Aussie fans.

Never before the 1985 event at Australia did Keke ever find himself on the podium Down Under. But the 1985 win, resulting out of sheer grit shown amid outstanding drivers such as Senna, Mansell, Prost and others catapulted Keke as a hero.

While Rosberg managed to start the 1985 race at Adelaide from a respectable third, he would be on the offensive right from the start in his Williams-Honda. He would beat the likes of more powerful cars including the Renault of Senna and the McLaren of Prost. Finishing the race as one of only the eight cars to be qualified, Keke, a frontrunner from the initial stages would actually grab the final win of his career in the form of his 1985 triumph.
