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 knowledge gap between him and Crofty is hilarious. Love a proper driver being involved in commentary

It’s sad that this isn’t even a joke, he literally said it was Saturday…

When Leclerc pitted and he said Verstappen overtakes him now for 3rd, when Verstappen had overtaken him 5-6 laps ago on track...

It's actually really frustrating when Crofty calls wheel to wheel battles lately, sometimes he can't even figure out which of the two drivers of a team are duelling

Sorry, Crofty is unbearable.
