Nothing will top 13:38 ❤️ … but winning the Monaco GP for the first time in front of my family and friends was also truly special! What’s your favourite?

I remember when Nico retired Martin Brundle saying something like this: "next year we'll see how good Bottas is or how good Rosberg really was". I think we got the answer.

People don’t realize how incredible Rosberg’s run in 2016 was. He never won in Spa, Monza, Singapore or Suzuka in his career. Until 2016.

"With 23 wins, and a world title at his pocket, Rosberg retired. *Job done* "

Now that's how you end the video about Nico

6:04 I love how Schumacher was happy for his teamate even after a very unlucky retirement from 2

"With 23 wins and a world title at his pocket, Rosberg retired. Job done."

what a powerful line

"Nico, Its Jame-"
"No shut up im not gonna let him by"

[DiLord]

The emotions when he scream "Nappi... We did it...", just tells the whole story of how much it meant for him and how much he had to go through to get to the top. Being under the shadow of Hamilton, Schumacher and even his father must have put so much pressure on him in a personal level.

[llevine]

I like that last sentence. "Job done."

[MegaJK]

It's still heartbreaking to see how the friendship between Nico and Lewis got destroyed by their rivalry....

[hiran]

Now that I have seen how dominant Hamilton is, and to see this man winning like 7 races back to back against him and taking a championship off his hands I have greater respect for him. Wish you had stayed longer and watched you becoming a pain in ass to Lewis

[adammarjanovic]

Underrated and overhated by many, he deserves much more respect

[ammarshaare]

Personally, I think his most brilliant moment was when he persevered to finish the race during the 2014 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix even though his car was broken and he already lost the championship because of it. It was at this moment that showed he has the mentality of a champion, someone who does not give up easily.

Nico is one of the most underrated drivers of his generation, he is the only one who beat Hamilton in the hybrid era, that's a huge feat, it just sucks that he needed to lose a friendship to win a championship.

"The final race of the 2016 season will go down as one most tense and dramaful races in F1 history."

Well, 2021 just entered the ring.

[DenjelRic]

You need balls the size of Jupiter to divebomb Max of all people with the WDC at risk. I never was a fan of Nico (didn't hate him either), but that move massively increased my respect for him

[OneOfManyDaves]

So weird now seeing how happy Hamilton was when Nico got his first podium, they were really good mates at one point

[Rosario_Verano]

Rosberg getting some recognition? It must be Christmas. Good on you, F1.

Someday there will be a movie on the 2014-2016 Rosberg/Hamilton’s relationship just like the Lauda/Hunt’s one in Rush
