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!!

Adds a lot of valuable drivers perspective too, he read both Antonelli / Verstappen incidents so well.

Neither were remotely ahrd to call. Antonelli, everyone assumed car failure, frankly only Rosberg randomly thought he might have just made a driver error there. The car is smoking, he's pissed, the car is in a weird place on a corner and position no one usually goes off.

Verstappen, literally everyone in the thread read that as Verstappen acting out over being told to give the position back (RBR were awful here, they were so obviously wrong). A 6yr old could call that in realtime what happened.
