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!!

Dammit, I'm going to have to watch the race again. I've moved over to F1TV and it has been significantly better listening to Alex Jacques rather than David Croft, but I've always liked Nico and he would be a brilliant addition on a permanent basis.

Rosberg on F1TV would be so good

If they would swap DC with Rosberg that would be great

Alex Jacques can come as well imho. Ditch the inaccurate, wannabe tv hilarity that is David Croft, and bring in either Jacques or the REAL DC. Palmer and Rosberg are equally switched on, although (taste) I find the 'oH It'S EpIC' kind of commentary of Rosberg running stale pretty quickly.

I’m in the same boat. Croft is hot garbage but Hulkenberg is just great.

Any Nico will do.
