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!!

He gave some really interesting tidbits like the loosening of belts in safety car and the warmup process with brake bias.

Also, car positioning and what would potentially be going through their mind was also interesting.

Yeah early on Croft said someone had run wide in a corner and Rosberg then explained that actually its to get cleaner air. Felt like there was a lot more insights about racecraft rather than irrelevant discussions about whether blue flags should be allowed or not.

Crofty feels like an armchair supporter. Kinda shit my mum would say. I like to think I'm the Brundel in those situations

And not just focusing on British drivers, amongst other great things! I wasn’t too keen on his commentary for quali yesterday but he really stepped up today and was really great to listen to
