How Good Was Nico Rosberg Actually?

[@darkwatcher01]

Took down two Seven time World Champions, in equal machinery, what a legend.

[@rupsa1872]

he was 3 time then

[@mrTycooleditz]

Lewis beat him more so

[@35pen61]

@@mrTycooleditz They beat each other equally 2013 was Rosberg, 2016 were rosberg

[@Smellindamix]

You mean the season that Hamiltons engine kept going up in flames

[@alx.972]

Schumacher- a 40 years old driver that suffered a bike accident a year before his returning into a middlefield car. Hamilton- a 3 wdc at the time …. Is not pretty decent to say this thing, is like saying you defeat Mike Tyson in a boxing match with a gun🤷‍♂️

[@drahcirtorralba1956]

Couldn't break him, couldn't shake him. What An awesome line

[@Dilstar22]

Nico Rosberg is better than most drivers on the current grid. He deserves more respect 👍🏽👏🏽

[@quase3]

no shit, he is a world champion who beat Hamilton in the same car, ofc he is better than most drivers on the grid right now, he is better than most drivers who ever drove in f1 (not necessarily among the best champions, but compared to everyone who was ever on f1), drove brilliantly his entire f1 career.

[@Dilstar22]

@quase3 some of his drives are truly world class, 2006 Bahrain, 2008 Australia, 2012 China, 2013 Monaco ( 2013 - 2015 ) 2014 Canada with no ERS was so impressive, 2015 Spain 2 stop when Lewis did 3 stop he showed how good is he at tyre management, 2016 Belgium to Singapore, 2016 Japan and finally 2016 Abu Dhabi to finish 2nd with that pressure, I remember watching it live and when he had to overtake Max for the championship that was pressure but tbh he dealt with it like a champion. I think Nico could have easily won more championships definitely. 👍🏽

[@biswanathdutta3115]

The man took down two seven time world champion ,in same machinery ❤

[@Paradi_Flow]

Wished Nico would have stayed past 2016. 2017-2019 would have been spicy if he stayed but he had a family & seemed pretty spent after 2016. Definitely think he was under appreciated in his day & now, Lewis Hamilton from 2014-2018 was a monster

[@thegridgab]

I find we often forget about Rosberg which is a shame

[@AF14002]

I agree!

[@CallyWasHereOfficial]

Yeah but do you remember that he beat a 7 time world champion in equal machinery in 2016? Absolute legend

[@krcari111]

I love the early 2000s motorsport documentary vibe, simmilar to petronas moto gp documentary

[@AF14002]

Thank you for the kind words. Glad you like it!

[@RandyAlterReviews]

I really admire that he left after winning one championship, all he needed to prove was he can beat Lewis with equal machinery once and he left. No one would easily retire when you are at the peak of your career and the fact that your team is dominating. He retired and end his career on a high note. I love Lewis but If Nico is still racing today, Lewis wouldn't had been 7 time world champion.

[@siyabulelatshali1012]

😂😂😂😂😂 So why did he retire knowing you would more championships? Please enlighten me.

[@m4atty.r21xd4]

@@siyabulelatshali1012 dude i dont think u read his comment, he retired knowing he could win more wdc because he got his goals: a wdc and beating lewis

[@averageenjoyer1930]

I don't admire it at all just bitched out what a weakling of the sport

[@RandyAlterReviews]

@@siyabulelatshali1012 14:02 he said here, he is not willing to sacrifice another year to beat Lewis, you may say that he have to train harder to achieve what Lewis can do, so in a sense he don't want to go through that again. Extremely honest and I respect that, putting it in school terms it's like you spend your entire semester studying harder than anyone else to beat the Highest scoring student in your class, and once you beat the best student in exam. You would rethink it's not worth sacrificing your free time, hobby or family time for rest of the semester, but at least you did it once and prove that you can beat the best of the best. There are students who can score high without trying that hard studying, same goes to olympic athletes and racing drivers.

[@kangarht]

You dont realise that retiring after winning the title meant also a defeat from Hamilton. He retired because he couldnt/didnt want race him any more.

[@bennyg2086]

Nico's Career/WDC win always reminds me of the saying "luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation". People always say his win was a fluke or that he got lucky, but he showed up every year with the unwavering belief he could climb to the pinnacle of the sport. His whole life's work gave him the ability to capitalize when his time came in 2016. It definitely didn't happen by chance.

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

Vettel, I remember him defending Rosberg at Abu Dhabi was to pay him back for spinning him out on the first lap of Malaysia that same year, and Rosberg made a phenomenal comeback to P4, which people are always overshadowing by Lewis's engine failure. But, let's be real here. Japan was the race that gave Nico the title, not Malaysia. Yeah, Lewis's engine blowing up was a salt in the wound, but Japan was a race where Lewis could claw back, but he just didn't. Nico won the race and stayed in 2nd from USA to Abu Dhabi because he far ahead enough in terms of points to win the title. So he didn't have to worry about winning any more races. Max did also overtake him in Brazil, but spun and gave Nico 2nd place back. But that did not matter if he would have stayed in 3rd, because he would have still won the title by 2 points in Abu Dhabi.

[@OhDearTheBier]

I am never sure about Rosberg. Many claim him to be very great yet others argue he was a bit above mid and hence also rate Hamilton lower due to him being beaten by Rosberg. Idk man... I don't mean to be an annoying Lewis fanboy but it's just suuuuuch a hot topic which I feel is so divisive. I feel like if you've gotten beaten by 2 of the 25 best drivers ever just once each you must be really damn good. And even then, Rosberg had to quite literally give up EVERYTHING to be able to just about beat Lewis very, very marginally. Scrapping paint off his helmet, taking all the precautions mentioned in the video and probably far more which we'll never know. If you have to do so much in order to beat this one guy just once in your lifetime and then call it quits because you're not willing to ever do those sacrifices again I feel like that's also gotta count for this: The guy you're trying to beat must be pretty fucking good! I hope I'm not annoying people reading this by talking about Lewis but idk, it's frustrating seeing all those offensive, insulting and toxic discussions about how good Lewis or Max (in recent years) really are. That goes both ways btw!!!!! But to get somewhat back to the original topic. I also feel like disregarding Lewis' talent puts a shadow over both Nico and Jenson and maybe someday George too. Because I feel like all of them are or have the potential to be amongst the 25-30 best drivers ever!

[@darkwatcher01]

Vettel really helped rosberg ngl cuz if it had beed verstappen in third, my goodness, that man is called torpedo max back then for a reason

[@AF14002]

Yeah, we could say he was a little lucky to have Vettel rather than Verstappen on his tail. But, honestly given the circumstances that time, I don’t think Verstappen would’ve gotten past him either😉

[@jtc4119]

incredible video - maybe jpm next?

[@justamanchimp]

Great vid, I think Rosberg said it himself, lewis has always just edged him even when young, so if you was to rank him, it's in the lewis Hamilton realm, but just slightly below that, hard to compare aside from lewis, maybe Seb Vettel league? He was definitely in the top 5 drivers of his generation

[@olischwarz2912]

Just remember, it took ALL of that effort to only end up beating Lewis by 5 points. Both amazing drivers, but shows the level Lewis was also on back then.

[@sandalphoncpu]

A lot of people either overrated Rosberg for beating Hamilton in 2016 or underrated him. He’s as fast as Hamilton and Vettel in qualifying, but he doesn’t have the race pace of those two for a long period of time. Amongst the drivers he raced, he’s at least below the BIG 3 of Hamilton, Vettel, and Alonso. He’s a world champion material, but he’s not a monster like those 3.

[@quase3]

I don't think Vettel is at the same level of Hamilton and Alonso, Alonso would have won in 2018 in Vettel's place who drove the fastest car on the grid. Rosberg is perhaps slightly behind Vettel.

[@sandalphoncpu]

@ BS. Ferrari was not the fastest car that year. Even the British bias SkySports later admitted that. Alonso wouldn’t have won either way. Ferrari lost far more points than the Vettel has. Plus if Alonso stayed in Ferrari, they wouldn’t even have the fastest car. He doesn’t make nearly as much impact on the car development as Vettel.

[@ianmilo9982]

Took down Lewis in his prime, thats how good he was

[@0iq105]

If lewis wasnt there he would have won min 80 races and 6 titels

[@batrasarthak]

Isn’t that Nico Rosberg, the Monaco based KZbinr who defeated the dominant seven time world champion in the middle of his rampage in equal machinery!

[@sebastianoorlandi2505]

If you just look at him at first you HATE him, it took me years to get the over that F**kFace he has...but in the end he is a great guy and driver, he deserved to win.

[@BenFlipsCars]

"Capgate incident" 🤣🤣🤣

[@evanpierri]

He was a technician in the cockpit . kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYWraWqmndeqe9Usi=VXeeURSgMXWwKYHe This is one of my fav examples of that. He just keeps dialing and modifying settings to try and extract everything out of the car. I know most of the drivers make adjustments all race but Nico seemed to truly be a student of this, as illustrated in this vid.

[@NicotineRosberg]

Vettel knew what Hamilton was doing. Vettel wasn’t going to overtake Nico

[@Dannzt]

Short answer: pretty damn good

[@gazzaboy84]

Imo if rosberg didn't retire, Hamilton would not be a 7 times world champion , not saying Hamilton would not win but I feel rosberg might of got 1 or 2 more championships with that Merc.

[@marshallmarthes]

Nico Rosberg would have been one of the greatest drivers if not for Lewis Hamilton since they were kids. Louis always won apart from this one year

[@djfour2seven446]

Lewis with 10 wins not champion due to the engine blowup. That was the only luck of Nico in 2016. He knew that with this car, he easily can drive on P2 the last 4 races. There was no competitior around.

[@CamMartonDrift]

Ripper video

[@FormulaProg]

He was a solid all-rounder but by no means great. He never outperformed any of his teammates at Williams.

[@NicotineRosberg]

U certainly talking 💩 . U weren’t around. He beat all his teammates except Webber in his debut yr in 06. And the car reliability was horrible for both drivers & it was pretty much a gamble. Don’t talk what u don’t know. Season reviews are free to watch. Go educate yourself

[@xDingokingx]

Rosberg won that year cause he had 1 DNF less than Hamilton due to car tecnial problem. If Hamilton didn't got the extra DNF and we take the avage amount of points he have gotten in every race he would easy won that year also.

Lando's driving is nothing like Nico's. Even their way of approaching a championship is different. Nico was straight up losing paint on his helmet, and cutting down on his seat, to lose milligrams of weight. That's an insane amount of determination.
