The only driver to beat 2 7x WDC’s in equal machinery 😳
I agree that this is a hell of an achievement, but they were certain circumstances fot it to happen.From 2010 to 2012 he faced a way past his prime MSC (he was 41-43 years of age during that time) and then in his 4 years against Hamilton, he was able to beat him just once while Lewis' car had way more mechanical failures.I still think it was well deserved because Lewis seemed to lack concentration at some parts of the season, but again Nico's career is a difficult one to judge
@@pro0341 yes i agree but it was a joke :/. Ofcorse rosberg wasn’t better than hamilton and msc 😂
😂😂
I clicked on the video just to make this comment but you beat me to it well done sir 🫡
Some say that 7 tim champions fear him
People hate him because he stood up for himself and didn't let politics in mercedes affect him.
Which is funny because everyone hated on bottas for NOT being like rosberg lol
@@PulsingKrugotvoid who hates bottas lol
bro he was the politics in merc
@@bonifacelukosi9580 I saw the season and I know who was pulling strings and crying all the time.
@@raosiddharth4726 ay I'm just saying Nico was the first one to get dirty. Plus if merc were really on Lewis' side, they would've never swapped mechanics in 2016.
Guys like Rosberg & Vettel are going to be missed in the sport as a generation of sportspeople in general.
Imo, Rosberg was underrated until he left, with a few years of complete Hamilton domination only then did people realise just how good Nico was to continually push Lewis
Vettel is not gonna be missed. He's turned into a hippie, advocating for the climate mafia. No one really believes he does that out of his own conviction, of course he's being paid by the climate mafia to bring forth their propaganda.
@@justadummy8076 and some of Lewis fans (I hope only some) still can't accept than Nico simply performs better than him in 2016
Vettel is very interesting one, because until very recently, he was also booed by the same fans that is now appreciating him
The most underrated driver in XXI's. Nico clearly deserve his championship. I still miss him in F1.
Your that guy?
@@tominoski2581 what guy?
use normal numbers you nerd
@@tominoski2581 throughout there whole stint together Nicos got more problems not caused by him bud
My guy using Roman numerals over here🤯
To me he’s one of the most underrated drivers of all time. People under appreciate him so much
he can't really be underrated when sky give him a 10min segment every race to roast the fuck out of Lewis if he's doing bad or dick ride like there's no tomorrow if he's doing good.
As they did with all fools who ran from a fight.
@@toomuchdebt5669 who knows what happened behind the scene. Especially when things so heated up at the end of 2016 where Mercedes can't keep both of them together anymore
He is up there with Button and Damon Hill. People are always bit juni that they didn't deserved a Championship. Absolute bullocks.
It’s crazy to me that Nico scored the highest on that engineering aptitude test. Nigel Mansell was an aerospace engineer prior to F1, so if he had taken it when he joined Williams, that really puts Nico’s depth of knowledge into perspective
Our Nige was an engineer? Never heard of this, he was that uninterested in the technical side of F1 to the point of not even staying in the paddock ans going off to play golf instead on the days when Coulthard was testing the Williams
There is no substitute for pace and talent. Engineering aptitude can only take you so far in formula1.
@@toomuchdebt5669 engineering knowledge helps in understanding how things works, so it's still a good asset to have
Nico Rosberg?! The guy who beat 7 time world champion Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery?!
Not only that, 2016 Formula 1 World Drivers Champion Nico Rosberg, who beat 7 times Formula 1 World Drivers Champion Sir Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery also beat 7 times Formula 1 World Drivers Champion Michael Schumacher in equal machinery
U have achieved peak komedi
@@bored_grape ofc ofc, genuinely though I’m a massive supporter of Nico, what a legendary driver.
Omfg…
@@thomasvrielink299 A washed up Schumacher, A very unlucky and a controversial year for Hamilton. Rosberg got lucky.
i've always had huge respect for him just because of how he left the sport, knowing all the stress it brings. Dude got what he wanted and dipped; mad respect
I think it depends on the perspective. You could have the perspective you described, but there is also the one that shows how sad it is, that he was unwilling to compete further with the hunger to get a huge legacy.
@@BowlingOGs69 yeah but that’s precisely why he’s one of my favorites. He’s not a WC possessed with achieving more like others WC(not taking anything away from other WCs, but that trait to want to keep racking more World championships is kinda common among world champions), he was able to see a life beyond f1 very early on. You saw that with vettel towards the later stages of his career, he really started to care about his family a lot. Idk there’s something about this sport that makes drivers so tunnel focused on winning that they forget there’s a life outside f1, even Max has started to realize this(don’t get me wrong, max is still hungry for WCs but he’s starting to realize it too)
@@dcode1000 for me thats totally understandable. But I can also see the other perspective. I mean he made the most out of what he got I would say, thats very impressive. And you definetly have a good point there. I also think it is hard to judge how hard the reality really is and how much dedication they need to bring, in general i have huge respect for the top guns for there passion and commitment
In Germany there is a saying that goes "Gehen, wenn es am schönsten ist" which translates to "Leave, when everything is beautiful/at its peak"
I have mad respect for him either way, if he left or if he stayed. Dude was just a great racer.
@@dcode1000 I think nico also benefits from not having to work. Many drivers have to make their money whilst driving. Nico never had to
Some people say he's a coward for not defending his title and just quit while he's on top but what these people don't know is what it takes to go toe to toe with hamilton that he has to sacrifice his family time...and says he won't do it again so he walked away a champion....and kudos to that and enjoy his life after racing with his family....
More like the toxicity that comes when you are against 44. He said, he was cursed by fans alike and was branded as a evil person.
@@ChristopherBuenviaje I'm sure a lot of Germans were calling Lewis all kinds of slurs during the silver war just like the Spaniards did in 2007 and the Dutch did in 2021. You can't really control your fans unless you're Checo.
@Boniface Lukosi Fair enough. But it really got worse. In my opinion Lewis's passive aggressive remarks were always meant to weaponize his fans against his potential rivals at the time. Michael didn't play that game in his time, even though I hated Alonso so much then. Its really different now.
@@ChristopherBuenviaje I get what your saying but if that were true then Alonso's direct attacks at Lewis would create a more volatile #Team14. I can't imagine a driver being foolish enough to weaponise fans, especially Lewis of all people since he's the most socially conscious BUT he did release Mclaren telemetry on Twitter so idk lol.
@Boniface Lukosi right? That was like a huge deal, drivers never used spciak media to release telemetry. Imagine the outrage if Michael.did that in his hay days. Oh well.
Nico Is soooo underrated!
It's amazing seeing how much it took for him to get to the top, it's just heartbreaking that it cost his friendship with Lewis.
They live in the same building and went out on a yacht with Toto from time to time. Don't think that they “hate” each other that much.
@@pn5984 They kinda hated each other in 2016, but nowdays they have slowly recovered their friendship.
@@Allu681 They have?
If Carlos Sainz wants a championship, I think Nico is his blueprint. They’re both so analytical
mostly agree with tbf
I think Nico had more raw speed tbh. Getting 27 poles while driving the same car as Hamilton is a remarkable achievement. Guy pushed Lewis on track like only Fernando did during 2007. It'll be really tough for Carlos to emulate that.
@@canchero724 That’s a fair assessment, yeah. Nico’s speed is very good. I’m not saying I think Carlos will or won’t win one (as much as I want him to!!), just that he’ll maximise his chances using Nico as a role model :)
I think Charles is more comparable to Nico than Carlos with both of them being extremely good at qualifying.
Agree with this
The problem is, Carlos is a Ferrari driver
I respect a man who can achieve his dream and then quit because he knows that’s enough
“NUPPY WE DID IT! NUPPYYYYYYY WE DID ITTTTTTTT!” will always be a rememberable radio message to me
Not only does this remind us how truly talented Nico was, but also we get an idea of how high Lewis's baseline talent is
Even in a bad year for Lewis Rosberg barely scrapped through.
@@toomuchdebt5669 Precisely so
Please keep the driver history videos coming both the R Kubica and this are brilliant. Well done.
Glad you liked it! More on the way 💯
It's insane to hear what Nico did to beat Lewis that season. I don't understand how people manage to downplay either of these talents.
Nico was amazing. Massively underrated. I completely respect his decision to retire and I understand that F1 does have a HUGE toll on you if you want to compete among the best. However, I am a bit sad he doesn't have that drive others have, to not win just once, to go again and again and build a legacy. We could have had some interesting fights.
I saw him live in Vienna just before the ceremony. He gave an interview and seemed very relaxed. I was on the way home when I read the news. I was devastated. :(
People hate him because he has a wealthy family, and because he is talented and handsome 😅
if nico rosberg didnt retire and he and lewis didnt lose their friendship, mercedes mighta had the strongest driver pairing for a long time
It's a shame he retired early because we could've seen more out of him, considering he signed another contract until the end of 2018, but knowing the title battle in 2016 with Lewis burnt him out so much, and how much he sacrificed to become a world champion, and didn't want to go through that for another 2 years. I understand why he left and respected his decision. There's always more to life than just racing.
Had no idea Nico was so intelligent. And that's not a dig to the guy. Never thought he wasn't but not on that analytical level described. Pretty impressive.
Wait, Nico Rosberg? the guy that beat 5 time point scorer Kazuki Nakajima in equal machinery?
Schumi as well
Man if Rosberg continued I felt like he had more in him but the best thing is that he's happy, I only have praise for Nico
I've been a fan of Nico since he was in Formula BMW in 2002. When he was in F1, I admired how analytical he was. I was devastated when he announced his retirement, but hearing his reasoning for that decision and seeing what he has gone on to work on after retiring has just increased my admiration of him.
I hope we will see Nico and Seb working on something together in the near future, since their interests seem to align quite well.
9:29 HE SAID THE LINE
😂
I cannot wait for Lewis' memo about the two of them that is yet to be explained. Nico is one of the most likeable people(this is coming from a diehard Lewis fan). I thrive for another "Nico" type of driver and personality to lie once more on the grid.
Its sure to explain the role of Paddy Lowe and why he had to resign, The team swap, the 4 suspicious DNFs of a merc PU on only one car, The monaco qualify red flag saga etc.
@@toomuchdebt5669 interestingly, Nico having exactly the same problem in 2014 and 2015
Sabotage was at play in 2016
7:10 "Modified gloves for better starts". Guess that paid off, given how good Nico was off the line that year, and how terrible Hamilton's race-starts were in 2016.
People say Lewis lost because of Malaysia, but for anyone who actually watched the season, they'd know it was Lewis' horrible starts where he lost tons of points.
Excellent vid. I'm gonna have to check out theses seasons now.
Even when Nico was at Williams I had a feeling he would be WDC at some point.
I started watching F1 again in 2012 and got that feeling after his win in China, I thought that he was a champion in the making.
And back to creating masterpieces for Christmas! 😂Love it dude! Nico is such an icon
Thank u for making this video. ppl needed to understand his achievement beyond the meme. One of the only good videos you ever made.
He's underrated. Great video mate.
The only Monaco based TH-camr to beat 2 7 time WDCs in equal machinery.
4 PU related DNFs is not equal machinery.
@@toomuchdebt5669 Don't think you know what a DNF is
Watched this whole video waiting patiently for the last line 😂 - great content!!! 2016 Nico was the peak of villain eras.
Great video. You could tell had special talent from his early runs at Williams.
He's the prime example that you can only do so much with magnitudes of effort against someone who has innate talent to begin with.
nonetheless, what a great feat by Nico, man punched above his weight class.
Alternatively phrased, he’s a prime example of how far hard work and self-belief can get you in life, even if you lack the generational talent that other people have.
@@jamespoole3531 This.
Hard work beats talent if talent doesn't work hard.
*queue pictures of Brazilian football players*
@@gandalf_thegrey nah, this time luck (malaysian GP) and Vettel (He backed Rosberg and defended against Vestappen) has come to play against Hamilton.
@@gandalf_thegrey ahem Neymar ahem
@@mishka1313 I love how 2016 is the only year people discredit a wdc because of reliability
Fantastic video. I always wanted to learn more about Nico and you did all the hard work to sum it all up. Thank you. I love Nico as a sky pundit, now I know why he seems so intelligent.
Thanks so much for watching!
Loved the vid man!
Thanks bro!
People really are ignoring that he was a really good driver. His Williams days showed his skill. He was quick over one lap and his race pace was excellent. Only in the wet he wasn’t the best, something he also knew.
Probably in the top 5 list of drivers in his generation.
This was a great video Sam!
Cheers Mitch! Glad you liked it 😄
Man actually beat Hamilton in the same car and made it a challenge every single week
Love the Video mate, nico is by far my favourite world champion of the 2010's!
Thank you bro! He was a beast on his day 🔥
Considering there are only 3 champions in the entire 2010's.
He was an excellent driver but he's too salty despite running away from the fight that was coming back for him.
ngl, spent a minute looking for Equal machinery on the thumbnail.
Nico deserves more recognition for showing us how to race these circuits in the video games! Lmao nothing like getting driving tips from an actual F1 champion
Can’t wait for the very original “is that Nico…” comments to start flooding in lol
They have arrived
I respect the amount of languages that Nico is fluent in. Wow 👏🏻
Nico was always a class act. A great driver, and an ever better person who's never been involved in drama neither had bad things to say about any driver.
He really deserved more than just one WC in F1.
Oh my god, is that The Nico Rosberg? The man who beat 7 time champion Lewis Hamilton in the same machinery in 2016??
Same*
@@ume5960yep thanks for the correction lol
@@spiderbhyd3 no problem mate
Can this joke please just die?
While it may have seemed odd to some when he announced his retirement, when you know what he put himself through to achieve that title it’s perfectly understandable that he felt that it was unsustainable.
Would have loved to see him go head to head for another two seasons
2016 Rosberg me ght be the most motivated driver in F1 history period. He come with a mission and do everything to achieve it. Once its done. Its done.
Nico Will Always be one of the Drivers that good Feel for something that he is Passionate About Making his Own Exterme E Team with Drivers that know what they are doing and Lewis Team Just Hiring the Most Successful so he can be Successful in that Series Some Riseing Stars can beat an All Time Great it Takes many Hours to get that Job Done and Nico has that mindset to go forward
Love his mentality, did everything he could to beat lord Hamilton the holy, got the championship and walked out. Perfect.
U r thumbnails are so good
Thanks so much 😄
The Man who's finished 2nd in the last four races is gonna come home and hit the jackpot in Monaco, Nico Rosberg wins the Monaco grand prix - Crofty, Monaco 2014.
If he could put his 2016 prep routine into a book, I’d definitely buy it.
I didn’t realize how book-smart he was because he’s so funny and somewhat ditzy. (Seb + microphone for example)
my favorite driver
Great video! And your original way of pronouncing Ibiza is hilarious.
By original, do you mean properly?
@@thethomascobbgroup5001 No. The first letter is pronounced "ee", not "ei".
@@nitrovj Fair enough, I thought you were referring to the lack of z.
@@thethomascobbgroup5001 Properly (not) saying Z, but mispronouncing I is why it's so funny.
I find it impressive all that extreme preparation he went through to win the title by just 5 points over the then partying/socialite Lewis. Ultimately it was a shame he didn't come back for 2017.
Well, he had accomplished everything he ever wanted. So was there really a point in continuing when you had completed all your goals?
@@RACINGUS95 Sure, he had every right to do so, but he was only 31 and I will always be curious on how would he be able to defend his title.
I agree, but he didn't want to go through the mental exhaustion of competing with Lewis for another year. So that's why he dipped.
Can you do something about Jensen Button? I want to know more about his legacy and championship in 09!
God damn it last bit got me lmao
My favourite driver
Had Nico Hülkenberg joined Merc instead of Lewis in 2013 Nico Rosberg would be almost certainly a 7-time world champion and considered one of the goats. He was like an A-/A driver, blazingly fast, almost a generational talent. The golden boy, son of a world champion BUT Lewis is like an A+ driver, just above Nico in skill but not by much.
Edit. I know what some of ya'll are thinking and no, Seb wouldn't have won either in 2017 or 2018. Ferrari has been cursed ever since 2008 when they decided to "sabotage" Kimi and favour Felipe to get Alonso in a year early
And nico would get the hate lewis gets.
@@ggmu1478 One billion percent yes
People forget that Hulkenberg is actually a decent driver
@@risechi14 That he is, but I'd say he isn't on Nico Rosberg's level
@@swampthing94 nope. Nico would never receive the hate lewis gets
You just gotta insert that last line right there LOL!! 😅
I think we all agree that Nico's key to lace wad likely his intelligence, and used it to great effect. As much as that's how he naturally is, I wonder how he may have raced had he let "feel" and instinct take over when racing. Sometimes I feel he played the % too much, rather than taking a risk and making it pay off. I still think he had more to give after he beat Hamilton, gutted he didn't stick around for another season or two.
Nico also won in Monza in 2016
9:29 Didn't see that coming, tho. 🤣🤣🤣
Last race of 2016, I don't think Seb really pressurised Nico. I watched that race despite not being an F1 fan back then, I was only curious since the news were all over this massive silver arrows battle in the last round. I saw no serious move from Seb. I mean, let's be frank here, Seb is a German, Nico is a German, why would Seb want to deny another title for the country when he really had nothing to lose back then?
So in a way, Lewis' strategy in slowing the pace to make Nico got caught up in the pack didn't really work since it was Seb who sat in 3rd. If it were Max or Daniel, maybe it would be a different story. Even if it were Kimi, I don't think Kimi would take that 2nd place, since Nico can also be a Finnish in Kimi's eye. 🤝🏼
Yeah it's common knowledge Seb was protecting Nico from Max, if not common knowledge then denial. All fair game tho.
nico is finnish german who lives in monaco. If there was any help from seb, It has nothing to do with the driver's nationality. more about which driver did seb prefer to win.
@@arc4055 Bro people only care about what flag people driver under, it's not like Germany looked up Nico's ancestry results and decided 2016 was only half of a victory.
I really admire him because he only ever wanted to be an F1 World Champion and never needed the money. I always thought when he was batting Hamilton that he would retire once he won the title.
People underrate him, but he was one of the best of the last 20 years. He just never had the car to show it, and when he had it, he had generational-talent lewis as his teammate
Norris may end up like him if he joins rb, ferrari, or if his team becomes competitive and another big talent joins him
It's no suprise that Nico scored the highest on the engineering test He was the only one who was able to fix the setting problem in just like 2 seconds while his former teammate couldn't figure out what it is for the whole race
Frank William's said he underrated Nico. I was surprised how consistent he was in beating Michael and how he breat Lewis to the 2016 championship.
Bro defeated 14 wdc owner's in equal machinery

Nico and I have the same birthday wow
Ah, my favourite Monaco-based TH-camr.
Imagine being a young karter feeling good about your prospects, and then Lewis Nico and Keke just roll up
just a little correcxtion for the future: It's not ADAC, It's A-D-A-C, every letter solo. Grear video though!
IN EQUAL MACHINERY!
Determination vs talent
Is that Nico Rosberg? The Monaco Based TH-camr and Keke Rosberg's son who beat the 7x time FIA Formula 1 World Champion Sir. Lewis Hamilton in equally machinery
Legendary and Nico are not the two words I'd put in the same sentence 😬
Why not?
He is, he is the one who beat 2 7x champion in equal machinery
@@ainanirina758 and Lewis beat Nico twice in equal machinery.... Do you have selective memory? What's your point?
@@SHANTUBE786 Lol it's proving my point it's Lewis man, 2-1 in equal machinery against one of the greatest f1 pilot is a hell of an accomplishment
@@ainanirina758 sorry man, i got my replies mixed up with another conversation lol. I agree with you 😂👍🏼
Let's not forget the fact that Nico Rosberg beat Lewis Hamilton in 2016 Formula 1 World Championship in equal machinery
And lost 3 times in the row prior with bigger gaps than he had in 2016….
@Commudus 3-1in equal machinery. It just shows that Lewis is the standard and despite the circumstances. They cherish the only win as if it's a trophy too. Lol
I reckon that if he would’ve still been a Formula 1 driver for Mercedes last year it would’ve made the 2021 championship much more interesting.
Great piece on Nico but let’s not forget Lewis’ equal machinery failed in Malaysia that season handing him a crippling DNF instrumental in Nicos championship. Lewis was dominating that weekend and DNFd from 1st place.
I think Hamilton is the goat and that’s why I know Rosberg is good. Also it’s clear when he would speak in press conferences that he was smart…. Smarter than most if not all drivers in terms of how he would explain the technical parts of his driving or the car set up etc
What a lucky life.
Being teammates with LH has gotta fcuk with your brain.
I have and I will always credit Lewis' bad luck with reliability for 2016 but Nico absolutely had to be up there to cash in on it.
Definitely one of the best drivers out there.
It's funny that Nico, with his technical knowledge seemed to be the only one helping to design the car to be more competitive, while Lewis just seems to take the glory.
What Nico did in 2016 is very understandable, considering that he was the number 2 driver when Schumacher joined the team, and became the the number 2 driver when Toto began licking Hamilton.
Nobody wants to be a test dummy.
Nico will never let us forget he beat Hamilton in equal machinery
This was a great short story on nico but for the love of god remove that flicker effect in the video. It makes watching the slideshows unpleasant and annoying
Nico was a Beast!!! He had so many epic duels with Hamilton and had relentless pace and consistency. Just go back and watch those seasons if you doubt it.
“While you’re busy partying, I studied the b̶l̶a̶d̶e̶ philosophy”
-man who beat Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery
they guy that beat lewis in equal machinery?
That guy 😂
Not the natural talent that Lewis is but he for sure knew how to compensate for it.
is that the guy who beat LH in equal machinery?
Watching this in late 2023, if Rosberg still wanted to drive F1 cars but not necessarily challenge the number 1, he might be the answer to Red Bull and Helmut Marko's demands.
Bruh 😂😂😂😂
Had he not retired I wonder if he d have won another title or two at least
