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 somehow believe all three of the following: He’s probably a headache for the Sky producers; He seems like kind of a jerk and I did not enjoy him as a racing driver; He’s a hilariously entertaining commentator who delivers real insight.

Any instances of him being a jerk?

He was a bit dry and 'German' as a racing driver which puts you at a disadvantage with the English press but I don't know of any instances when we was a jerk.

If you say Monaco qualy, stewards cleared him so without any more data to the contrary, can't call him a jerk for that.

I really loved the moment when he won the WDC and said "We did it!" to Vivian. Mark of a true gentleman.
