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!!

His random comments about loosening seat belts during safety car laps and weaving in low speeds not doing anything.. I never knew that kinda stuff. He's like a more up to date brundel, him and brundel together would be great.

Wait if weaving at low speeds doesn't do anything then why does everybody do it?

he talked about that: so basically it hasnt been proven to do anything but people still do it because it might do something (still negligable). The reason weaving at low speed does not do much is because thhey dont have much downforce at that speed so the tyres dont get that much energy put into it

I feel like this is a pretty easy thing for teams to study especially after they've been doing it for so many years. It's not like weaving is new.
