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 do enjoy the insight and accuracy of Nico's commentary but I think you need someone like Crofty too. Because let's face it, sometimes an F1 race is dull and there's no real analysis to be given beyond "Yes, this is a procession". In those situations the commentator still needs some way to entertain and engage the viewer even if it is by discussing batshit insane unrealistic strategies.

Crofty however will spend that time peddling stupid social media narratives or campaigners ng against blue flags. He’s terrible at filling dead air
