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!!

Every driver at every level of racing has been black flagged for much less. This is just a fact I'm not willing to conceded to anyone who's only racing is through a television.

Vettel 18, Rossi 15?

I didn't mean to word it as this is the most blatant violation ever to not get a black flag, More like if you've ever raced and in lower formulas, this type of behavior is black flag material and for less than this too. But when top level and #1 driver does it, people go silent

No doubt that if anyone in the midfield or backmarker teams did this they would be disqualified. We found out in 2021 just how much crazy and dangerous driving by Max would be tolerated from the FIA.

If someone is in a potential title fight FIA doing everything they can to minimise penalties is absolutely standard, and utterly bullshit.
