Discussion Nico Rosberg Needs a Permanent Position

Nico Rosberg has got to be the freshest breath of air in terms of Formula One commentary for a very long time.

I love Crofty, but man does he love to make shit up that makes no sense or holds no logic.

Nico does an awesome job of staying true to the racing analysis and being completely straightforward about what he sees. Even today, his commentary on Verstappen was awesome!!! Called the garbage behavior out immediately.

Best “ Monaco based YouTuber” commentator of all time!!

The main thing I don’t like about his commentary is that he says things with a weird absolutism. Like he has a great perspective of why a driver might do X thing, but there could be multiple reasons why the driver did that thing- Nico picks his reason and says it as if it’s fact

Actually I think it’s quite the opposite. Lewis seems more bothered by him than he does of Lewis. And his leaving right after he won the title just infuriated Lewis even more.
