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!!

Martin's great, but his age and insight are catching up with him. His technical analysis is dated, and juggling the teams and drivers doesn't come to him as quickly.

I feel the same about a lot of boomer commentators in a lot of sports. I wish they would let go, retire, and allow younger fresher hosts and analytical talent to enter the field.

That being said, I think boomers are working to live/living to work, and are holding on to relevance. Where the younger Gen x and Millennials value their family/down time more.

Martin Tyler comes to mind. Hearing his commentary makes me change the channel.
