How Good Was Nico Rosberg Actually?

Most Formula 1 fans remember Nico Rosberg as the driver who took down Lewis Hamilton to win the 2016 World Championship and then walked away from it all. But how good was Nico Rosberg really? This is the story of a driver who went from being a 'good' racer to a world-class champion, a man who was shaped by relentless determination, deep rivalry, and the pursuit of perfection.

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.

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

[darkwatcher]

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

[himanshupanjwani]

Nico actually bowed out at his prime which so many sportspersons don't realise until it's too late

[Dilstar]

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

[Foxhunter_DE]

13:05 Vettel never attacked. He knew what was going on, and like Schumacher helped him in Brasil, Vettel just covered Nico and helped to secure his second place. It will never happen, that a german driver stops another german driver to be a world champion, and instead helping a brit. Nothing againts brits, but could you even imagine two brits would do that, so that a german can be world champion? Stuff for horror movies.

I find we often forget about Rosberg which is a shame

[krcari]

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

[edmardenosta]

6:19 the edit of hamilton entering the frey when rosbergs career is rising is gold. Gave me goosebumps

[JustVideosRsei]

Man, this is high quality stuff. Thought i was watching from a channel with 100k+ subs

[PesheWild]

Video is okay, but I’m sorry, you didn’t explain in any way how good was Nico Rosberg in his prime, you just showed his career.

[roejohntiolengco]

I have watched this race live.

Vettel was actually not trying to overtake Rosberg in the last 2 laps.

He wanted Rosberg to be champion.

[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.

[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

[Randomguyno]

Just a reminder that Leclerc is also a Monaco based Youtuber

[batrasarthak]

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

[Boostjunkieful]

Most underrated driver of the modern era

[mitchrich]

Another thing i point out is Hamilton wouldn't have that many wins if Rosberg had stayed another 2 seasons atleast.
There was a stat comparing 4 years of Rosberg with Bottas, it was shocking how different they were

[carldewet]

This is Quality - Thank you - Great Story and Visuals.

[midnightfuture]

Excellent work, beautifully narrated and edited. It was a genuine pleasure to relive the 2016 season in particular through this video. Thank YOU!
