2016 Abu Dhabi - Post-Race: 'It feels ridiculous - I can't believe it!' - Rosberg

[tommybambam]

Nico already knew Max was becoming a problem pretty soon. Both world champions now!!

It is wonderful to see a HUMAN side to a driver. When watching an F1 race all you see is a helmet surrounded by a machine and you think to yourself that the driver is just a part of that machine - Emotionless, Programmed, Robotic. They are anything but - they are people. Nico exploded out of his cocoon as a stoic F1 driver to show us all the intensity and pressure of a championship race. You don't get to see this very often. Promote this F1, this is what people want to see, that drivers are human - intensely human. Good stuff Nico! Congratulations!

I'm totally sure that when Nico Rosberg hears the name "Verstappen" again he gets nightmares every single time because of that Abu Dhabi race... 😂

[DarthSparhawk]

congrats, Nico! Relax! You won! World champion!

[Jejking]

Wow, the mask COMPLETELY fell off. Awesome to see, when you compare it to EVERY earlier interview you'd see the stance of his eyes in defensive and focussed mode. Always on the top of his toes, but he did it! He's not a great champion, but a good one in my book, he gave everything and it was JUST about enough. Go Nico :)

[sebulbathx]

Rosberg is one of the funniest, not intentional though, in interviews because he's always so serious. He is really himself in interviews compared to many others who has a "character".

[markmarksson]

Nico, you get an extra fan today !
What a champ !
Now, go celebrate, rest, whatever !

[jimkhana]

Remember this race so well... you could see how drained he was after the race, think he probably went through every emotion you possibly could and it broke him.
But respect to him as a driver and for what he achieved, 👊

[peoplecallmesugar]

I am Lewis supprter, but Nico deserves the 2016 Title 100%! He was a super fast driver, yes super fast driver who does not get the recognition he deserves!

[TimmyTheSnail]

Sad that he retired so early. Would’ve been great to get another few years of him racing cus he was underrated tbh

[felipefigueiredo]

lewis knows how to mess up with his teammate's minds, we can see it now with bottas

[guiseppe]

He explains everything pretty well. too bad I wasn't there yet when nico drove. he provides a unique insight into the drivers emotions. crazy.

As a Hamilton fan, I must say I now respect Nico so much. Today I have learnt that perception is everything. I started watching Formula 1 in 2019 and had to watch many historical F1 videos. All videos I have watched, they always showed Nico as the villain. It made me hate him since I though he was deliberately trying to sabotage Hamilton's races. I have just realized I hated him for no reason. I could not even watch his videos on youtube. Boy, was I wrong. Sorry Nico, I am coming to sub your channel just now. For everyone outhere, have you ever hated someone or something for no reason, start questioning why you do, you may be hating the wrong person. I am now so happy he won the Championship. He will be remembered as the strongest number 2 driver in all the teams.

[fabrice]

great job nico you're the world champion of f1 that's it

[theslimeylimey]

Sure, he had some luck with Hamilton's mechanical failures but he capitalized on his opportunities and was rock solid the whole season. Well deserved and I'm happy for him.

[drawwithdan]

I remember watching this interview and thinking...this is him, no bull. To be honest I was really pleased for him!

[SilverScarletSpider]

It is cool to see a HUMAN be world champion.

[kristian]

Well done Nico! Well deserved champion!!

What separates Rosberg from Bottas is that Rosberg was willing to stand up to Hamilton and was man enough to fight him for championships despite being the number 2 driver. I think Rosberg will go down as one of the greatest number 2 drivers of all time as he actually beat the number 1 driver for the title and it's not just any number 1 driver, it's a driver that's arguably the greatest driver of all time at the peak of his powers, I feel like all number 2 drivers in the future should look up to Rosberg (Hamilton Fan by the way).

Perfect interview. So much emotion well explained. Thank you.
