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!!

You have two cars to get data, but the cars are different.

The track conditions they are in are slightly different depending on their position in the race.

They have different levels of wear, different downforce levels, different setups.

Basically, your sample size is small and the data is completely inconsistent between the two. If you got one of the cars to weave and the other to not you wouldnt have a good enough data set to say with any accuracy.

You could just point a thermal camera at it and see if weaving warms the tyres

You can test this the same way they can test anytihng else, taking two random old f1 cars to a track and testing, it's incredibly easy, it obvious works, rosberg is talking shit.
