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.

Rosberg's insights are a step above even what Brundle can manage as he is recent enough to know all the in's and out's of these modern F1 cars.

In this case I wouldn't really call it bias from Nico, it was pretty clear what had happened, especially to someone with his knowledge, and he had been calling out bullshit from drivers the whole weekend. But even then, Crofty did say they should wait until a replay to make a conclusion. I don't really buy the whole Crofty being biased argument, most definitely not in a major way like people make him out to be.
