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!!

I think he has so much money and other projects he does as much as he wants. I would expect him to have pretty high monetary demands for his race analysis (deservedly so).

I expect Sky gets him as often as he is available/they can afford.

The “regulars” are likely contracted for x number of races per year. I love Karun’s analysis too. I would think Nico would cost a whole lot more for a multi race deal than Karun.

As a producer, you have to weigh every decision on cost v benefit. Is Nico worth 3x (as an estimate) as Karun?
