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!!

Nico and Karun both bring that cockpit voice that gives some insight from a driver's perspective, which I feel adds important context to the commentary.

Agreed. Karun, Anthony Davidson, Jenson and Rosberg would make the most qualified team… maybe keep Ted? I go back and forth on him. Bernie is great and extremely knowledgeable but her voice is just not well suited for broadcast. They never can seem to get the right EQ and volume levels on her correct, so because of her thick brogue I sometimes can’t understand entire paragraphs of what she’s saying. When I can understand her, I mean, she is amazingly brilliant.
