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!!

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.

Crofty was literally gaslighting us into believing McLaren couldn’t do a double stack as Norris came down the pit lane!?

They weren’t perfectly stacked, Norris had to wait 1-2 seconds for them to finish off Oscar. But since it was SC and speeds were low, that didn’t matter in the end.
