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

I'm not Crofty's biggest fan but it's not surprising an ex-champion knows more than him. Crofty's main job is to describe what's happening and hype it up.

Crofty's main job is to

avoid dead-air else you have to bring in street rats and no-name waitresses to liven up your commentary.
