Nico Rosberg: Retiring as F1 World Champion, What Next? | Ep.20

[@marinusdekok818]

Best interview ever. I love how friggin unreserved Nico is. I love that he is giving facts and numbers and giving straight answers. Nico Rosberg is a legend

[@CinHalCedHerChance]

I don't like him at all. lol He's screams entitled, uppity, etc. So glad he's gone and guys like Max, Russell, Lando, are the new faces. Nico has been quickly been forgotten. He's trying to stay relevant by being in the paddock an analyst. lol

[@lyricallyaesthetics5124]

​@@CinHalCedHerChance why do you think he screams entitled ? He seems humble by his previous and current actions I usually prefer logic and facts over emotions and he was like that in F1 He analyzed things thoroughly That's why many people said he seems cold But he was never entitled by the way he treated others and the efforts he put into achieving his goal which is winning the championship

[@SaqibKhan-hd7ic]

It's unfair to say he was entitled, he didn't ask to be born the son of a wealthy person, he worked hard to get to where he got within that sport and then to excel in it. That's nothing but effort

[@Chyeahokay]

Lol you say he’s entitled, but then mention max, lando, and George Russel? C’mon man, at least nico is honest, and pretty funny.

Nico and Lewis rivalry is one of the best in Formula 1 also their backstories and their friendship for such a long time and the fallout it's like the perfect Hollywood movie

Nico pushed his body and car beyond its limit to beat Lewis. He knew another season would destroy him. Lewis’ power level was too high. Nico left nothing in the tank. He is a true champion.

[@tibbydudeza]

He also sacrificed his relationship with his family - she had to handle household all by herself - he realized that he would not want to repeat that year again. The right decision.

Some people fill their stomach with a 1 slice of pizza, others can eat the whole pizza and still be hungry. They have a different perspective and motivation, it has nothing to do with "pushing himself to the limits" he made that sacrifice to achieve what he wanted and when he got it he didn't want to do it again, simple as that.

[@Housestationlive]

nico achieved what many other sons of champions didn't.

[@jbc22112]

Exactly. It's always funny to me when people say that Nico had it easier than others because of his father, but that only helps you to a certain point. It doesn't mean anything for actual long term F1 career and potential to win a title. Look at Mick Schumacher and countless others. Nico actually beat the odds.

[@jeanoltt]

In paper, he was better than his father. Competing against Hamilton is extremely tough.

[@高田かのん]

really interesting interview, and great to hear all the insights into Rosberg's mentality while he was competing - thank you for this!

[@shyames]

Love listening to Nico explaining behind the scenes effort that goes not only into winning but to just stay in F1 once you get there. It was sad seeing him go after 2016 but man, I respect the decision - go out on a high, achieving everything you wanted and being able to keep sharing the passion for the sport. Love to see what else he ventures into in the future.

In All honesty i didnt really like him in F1, cause he seemed very bitter alongside Lewis but the Nico after F1 is absolutely amazing. Love how direct he is and doesnt give two flying F's. And everything he doesn behind the scenes is great

[@zelig1799]

I just listened to an interview by Nico after the race in 2016 in Abu Dhabi. He is asked if he could have let Seb through to make the last few laps less stressful, and I quote "No, crazy Max was after that, you know, so I can't let anyone passed" Also, do you remember "it's critical we pass Verstappen for the championship". My heart was going crazy during that race

[@Ausknutz]

I remember that when Vettel went by Verstappen I thought "Rosberg will win the championship with this move". That was because Verstappen was crazy enough to try some stupid move and crash into Rosberg, but Vettel was already a 4-time champion, so he would be much more cautious if he tried to overtake Rosberg at all.

[@virgilma6153]

@@Ausknutznot just scared of crashing, but nico was also scared of his talent. He had multiple moments where he and Max was fighting, Max being the defender where Max was just schooling him. Nico had to do something real risky to overtake him because Max although he was dangerous, dude was crazy fast and hard to overtake with less mistakes under pressure

Team orders mean less stress on the car and less lost time even if it's half a second. It's called working as a team in a team sport. Also Bottas was genuinely out of the championship running by after the summer break so should move over for he's team mate who is in a close championship fight.

[@marshallmarthes]

The concept of cost cap is good but the problem is now whichever team nails the design concept in the beginning will never be beaten because other teams even with infinite amount of money cannot invest it to become more competitive that's why we are seeing Red Bull dominating and all the other teams have no chance of winning because even big teams like Ferrari and Mercedes cannot pump money into making their team and car better

I know we all meme Nico for “I beat Lewis Hamilton for the 2016 Formula 1 World Championship” stuff, but his dedication, and drive to win that title is seriously one of the best sporting performances of all time. The fact that he put literally 110% into Formula One not even paying attention to outside media or anything of that manner, Even somewhat distancing himself from his family and general life, makes his World Championship even more special to me. Like, the guy made EVERY sacrifice possible, and wanted to be in PERFECT athletic shape, shows just how truly tough racing, and sport in general, is when you are at the top of the mountain

The person responsible for proving Hamilton was more average than the PR team at Merc wanted you to believe. Once Nico got fed up, he put his head down, did the super hard work and sealed the deal. After that Merc and Lewis would never let that happen again. In comes my guy, Bottas, Merc opens the bank vault to the tune of nearly 2 billion over the 4 year run to cover the team and driver deficiencies which has landed them in the position they have been in for the last 3 years. Well, George won so there's that. And he nearly won when he subbed for Lewis, so there's that too. And yes I'm a Merc fan and that's just the reality of it.

Mainly because he has paid to keep it with with his financial backing. He will be lucky to finish this season and will not be in F1 next year.

Whoever the interviewer in the middle is, he needs to improve his social and communication skills. He spent so much time during this interview waiting for an opportunity to interrupt Nico and ask a stupid question, or try to give his opinion or analysis on something which was a lot of times just completely missing the mark. Even to the point of being rude and disrespectful, "Respectfully, really!?!?!" With a crude facial expression as nico is trying to explain the cost cap. Incredibly arrogant approach, it was really quite embarrassing to watch at times. I felt bad for his co host and Nico, both of them having the grace to deal with childish behaviour when having a conversation. Not to mention how annoying he came across with his entitled mannerisms and speech Please improve, you're interviewing an F1 world champion, what they have managed to achieve at the peak of their sport is phenomenal. Learn from your co-host, he was respectful and engaging, actively listening and waiting for Nico to finish his points, responding back in kind and having a great discussion as opposed to trying to force the conversation his way. Still a great interview, Nico is brilliant.
