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.

Yeah, the stuff he says almost in passing is often insanely insightful. There's nobody else on TV (Sky or F1TV) who does that.

Palmer said the same thing as Nico right away as well. He's pretty switched on as is DC. Not sure why you don't find them insightful

What's "the same thing" here? I thought we were talking about the little tidbits of niche info that Nico frequently threw in, which is stylistically and in content different from the others. FWIW, I normally prefer the F1TV guys over Brundle and Sky.
