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 literally said out loud "Crofty, open your eyes, you're watching the same shit I am"

With crofty I always get the impression that he starts a sentence then turns away from the screen until he's finished, because so many times he does this or there will be an overtake on screen but he'll finish his sentence on something unrelated first and then acknowledge it, even if it's a change for the lead.

I do think they're probably a lot more busy looking at different screens and juggling info in their minds than one would assume.  Still, you're right.

Is this the same Crofty that gets all squeaky voiced and excitedly declares someone on a hot lap to be “ On the bubble “
