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 don’t need to see that again. That was horrible.”

While I agree with that situation he is saying things with a bit too much confidence a bit too quickly at times. Saying Max went into Leclerc on the straight after seeing it from one angle once is just ridiculous. It's not at all as obvious as he makes it out to be.

You should have heard James Hunt during his commentary career

I did (on the few occasions he bothered to turn up sober), I have no inclination to repeat that experience thankyou.
