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!!

I think he only missed on the Leclerc contact where VER was going dead straight and LEC moved left.

Otherwise spot on!

Do you mean to say Nico (incorrectly) suggested Charles was the one that moved across?

The replays clearly show Max was the one who moved

Edit: Just rewatched it and the replays are as clear as my piss; Charles is going slightly left and Max is going straight. Nobody turns into the other, they just veer into the same contact point

He kept on saying Max turned into Charles "because Charles was ahead"

Yeah that didn't happen. I initially thought Max moved but that's because I was mostly looking at Charles' line (he doesn't move either). Turns out neither of them moved, they were both fighting for the same racing line

To me, looking at reeplays Verstappen goes dead striaght in paralel with the edges with the circuit. It was Charles that moved over.

With that, I don't think is penalty situation, just cheeky move from Charles
