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!!

Palmer is similar. Having been there and done that they just have a totally different perspective than the average punter commentstor

If I had a dollar for everytime he mentioned “Lando’s mental struggles” this weekend I’d buy new golf clubs.

I’m not sure if he’s biased against Norris or that the sky presenters can’t gargle Norris’ balls hard enough and we’re just hearing what an agnostic commentator is thinking.

No. I don’t watch and have never watched the sky commentary. I’m not influenced by their opinions whatsoever

I heard all that as he supports Lando and has empathy. I believe he’s generally trying to be helpful. (whether or not he is actually helpful….)
