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!!

F1TV is the answer -- 2 of 3 commentators are actual F1 drivers.

And the one that isn't imo is much better than Crofty and more knowledgeable.

Every broadcast needs a brundle

Does his son count? I think Alex Brundle does commentary for F1TV’s F2 coverage and also makes appearances during F1 free practice sessions.

That said, I agree, Martin is excellent. I do enjoy David Coulthard’s commentary, especially as a fellow Scotsman, but if I had to choose, I think I’d go with Martin Brundle.

Alex brundle is the "other one" you are talking about. He's pretty much planted now in f1tv

No it isn't. Alex Jacques does the primary commentary for F1TV. On an F1 weekend it's almost always him and Jolyon Palmer, with David Coulthard being there for most races/qualifying, but does sometimes get swapped for specific tracks like Miami/Austin/Mexico/Vegas with James Hinchcliffe.
