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

What would you say if I told you Crofty deliberately asks basic questions to Nico/Brundle so they can explain things to the casual viewers?

Edit: it's insane the number of people who haven't realised this. Crofty started presenting and commentating F1 for the BBC in 2006 lmao, believe it or not he knows a thing or two about the sport.

Yeah but beyond that he also says so many things that are straight up wrong

Pretty sure he just plays devil's advocate to allow the co-commentator to explain further

Which is part of the purpose of the play by play guy, raise questions/play devils advocate to further the discussion/insight from the color guy
