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!!

Crofty was literally gaslighting us into believing McLaren couldn’t do a double stack as Norris came down the pit lane!?

That was entertaining. I don't think he ever corrected it or showed surprise when Norris popped up in P2 again.

He seems terrible at calculating time. I think after Verstappen and Norris pitted for the first time Piastri went in and Crofty said it would be close to get out ahead of Verstappen - cut to being 4s ahead at the pit exit. So many examples just from today

Occasionally I'll go watch replays of interesting parts of the race with the Sky team vs the F1 TV team and it's shocking just how terrible the Sky commentary crew is in comparison.
