A minor suggestion would maybe be chopping a bit more the parts where nothing happens, like when the camera is focusing. Not because it is a major problem (it isn't at all), but because I wasn't able to find other possible improvements. Really good videos so far!
The work put into these vlogs is so good and entertaining! Everything is so smooth and fits so nicely. I love this content the way it m, it is feels very sincere and entertaining. Keep it up Nico!
Das war wirklich ein sehr schöner Vlog. Way to go, Nico! Video Qualität ist top, es sieht authentisch aus und es ist sehr abwechslungsreich gestaltet / geschnitten durch verschiedene Motive, Aufnahmen. Es kann gern so bleiben und brauch' keine große Verbesserung. :) Ich finde es auch sehr sympathisch wie offen du zeigst, dass du mittlerweile als Papa morgens auch gern mal Erziehungstipps liest statt wie früher nur News über Autos, Lifestyle etc. Witzig wie sich sowas im Leben verändert. ;) *P.S.* Ich finde es super vorbildlich, dass du dich für mehr Zeit mit deiner Familie entscheiden hast statt für die Karriere. Das würde nicht vielen leicht fallen. Dennoch fehlst du in der Formel 1.
Nico your videos are amazing. I wouldn't even ask for more frequent uploads, because every new video feels so special, fills me with excitement. Also, is there a vide of the Project One in the pipeline or are you getting one from Mercedes? Would love to see your take on the road legal F1.
Just more behind the scenes stuff that the general public could never see.. however I think I’ve just found the best Motorsport lifestyle channel in the world... thank you so much for doing this!
So great to come onto this after watching the 'crashes that changed racing.' Saw this over at the side. I had watched your day on the water and then when you flew to enjoy your Dad's celebration. Filming in Monaco is much like filming in Washington, DC...so many restrictions.
Wow! I must say the vlogs are impressive and now you also seem to be more constant with the uploads! One bit of advice would be to do some vlogs or at least parts of vlogs in the other languages you are fluent in, but for the rest keep up the good work! One of my favourite ever F1 drivers!
Thank you for being always so close to the fans ☺ any foods you enjoy eating or fancy trying now that you have a less strict diet to follow ? cheers from your biggest belgian fan 🙌
Its really nice to see you interacting in the comments and wanting to improve this channel! Your videos are of such high quality and well edited its hard to see any faults in them - keep it up :)
Hi Nico. Anett I'm a Hungarian fan. For me you are my idol who has taught me to fight and do not give up my dreams, I'm proud of you! and how important your family, your videos, always the best I like to watch because your absence is missing, you smile on my face and you seem to know that you are a family.
Hey Nico du warst mein Lieblings-Rennfahrer echt cool das du jetzt richtig anfängst Videos zu machen. Weiter so! Mein Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre bei allen deutschen Inhalten Untertitel auf Englisch einzublenden damit auch alle Internationale Zuschauer alles verstehen :)
Nico, great stuff!! Pls do some exotic supercar reviews (or any car really).. cant think of anyone on youtube matching the honest insights of a world champion with such an eye for detail
I enjoyed nico in f1last year, and good to see that some ex f1people are kinda normal, well as normal as possible if that makes sense, Enjoying these vlogs
Hey Nico echt richtig nice, dass du so viel aus deinem Leben zeigst!Weiter so! Als "Verbesserung" könntest vielleicht paar neue Serien machem, wie zB paar Q&As oder sowas :)
I am from Indonesia, wasnt F1 fans, but I start watching F1 now cause of Mad Max. I think you earn a new fan here, dont know much about your racing career even I have no idea about Lewis, so no pressure there haha. I like your attitude and how you enjoy your life now. Good on you.
Hey Champ! Hope you are doing great as usual. I came across your channel recently and said to myself, this is one channel I would definitely subscribe and here I am. I remember the day you won the championship and it was the best evening of my life. wow!! I still believe if there is one driver, on the grid, who can beat Lewis over the course of a championship it has to be you, Sir. Regarding the vids, they are great, love the lighting, and thank God, that you are consciously doing away with "FOR SURE" :-P. Keep 'em rolling champ!! Me and my wife are one of your biggest fans. :-).
I don't think it was economy. That's Lufthansa's business class on the smaller planes, I think. They just have a drape separating them from everyone in the back, though... so, almost the same.
Really enjoyed the last 2 vlogs, Nico. Last time I commented I proposed less music and more from you if possible so was very pleased to see that was the case with your latest uploads. Brilliant, thanks. ☺👍
Scorchio he said he still loves going to the GPs, being with the guys he used to race with, so I think if it fits in his schedule and Sky wants him back, it would happen.
Secret filming, then shows us the script! 😂 You're having a busy few days! Loving the insight, but I hope you get to put your feet up with your girls soon! ❤️
Hi Nico. I used to do some internet marketing material for you when I worked on advertising agency in Helsinki. We have both gone long way after that, congrats of your world champion title and your newborn, well deserved. I enjoy your videos as well, keep doing good work!
I've been totally busy since the beginning of the year because of my university and God, I was missing your laugh so much! It's so good to see you so happy. Thanks for that. (I know it isn't a question btw 😂)
Hmmm, Nico as the new tv-presentor for Top Gear, based in Monaco? ;-) Would be nice! I bumped on your vlogs via Twitter and really like them, you're a natural and keeping it real. It doesn't feel over-produced, which I really like. So keep on going!
I was waiting to see Jon Olsson going by you in Monaco on a electric powered skateboard at the end Nico. What I would like see would be a trip back to LA and some driving in the hills with Salomondrin, note the GT2RS is arriving in May 2018... Awesome videos already, very well done.
Amo todos tus vídeos, te sigo en google+ y te tengo en mis notificaciones del correo, cada vez que subes un vídeo me llega una notificación y detengo lo que sea que este haciendo para verlo!. Cuando te retiraste dije : Oh, no, ahora no lo podre ver mas. Saludos desde Venezuela y un besote. Saludos a tus nenas bellas.
Love your vlogs Nico, your camera man it's fantastic and knows how to put your vlog toguether. What about doing some content of your personal opinion and insights about the races?, the racing fans will love that and more people not only will come too see your life (wich i love to see), but also they will be watching content from a professional who knows whats he is talking about cheers Nico, it'll be awesome if you come to the Mexico GP
Awesome quality of the VLOG and also really entertaining, came here from the collab with Jon but sometimes he talks too much haha! you are really doing well Nico, Keep it up!
Like the transitions at 00:23 and 03:00 with music off/on and not editing out the focus issue on the plane! Keeping it real and seeing the improvements is much better
Wait, so professional videos and pictures are strictly monitored in Monaco, or all pictures and videos (like ones just taken by a tourist using a smartphone)? Also, since you asked: I really like this format of videos. I liked yesterday's video as well, because we got to see a lot of interesting things, but sometimes when I see that a video is over 10 minutes long, it just seems like to much of a commitment for me haha. 7 minutes is perfect. :) I enjoy following you around and seeing what you're up to, but what always catches my attention are the little explanations you give us, like the video permission form, or those rentable cars/buggies/whatever-that-was that you have in Monaco, I had no idea something like that existed!
You are a natural, very easy and enjoyable to watch, probably the only way to improve would be some special effects as Jon Olson does, other than that, spot on.
Well honesly i think you are doing the best you can with the footage and the schedule you have, which seems to be really time consuming. Maybe try to let in the viewers into your hobbies/ passions more, stuff you really like to do besides buisness stuff ( cars, tech, literature and so on). Another idea is to take us viewers on as many adventures/experiences as you can (especially driving ones) . My 2 cents. Look forward to the future vlogs :)
Keep up the good work, guys! Really love your videos! Add may be a bit more moving transitions on the B-Roll sequences like John & Benjamin did when they had been in New York. Have fun in Budapest, Nico!
Nice Vlog Nico! Some feedback, turn volume down a bit on the music side, lesser closeups with only music, +more of u talking, explaning what ur doing and so on. Some vlog-episodes feels more lika a musicvideo then a vlog. Keep up the good work!
Nico, what are you doing in Budapest? .... sorry, at the end you told it. Your vlog is at the moment perfect, not too much, not too less. Please do it like this in the future. I watch every episode!
Hey Nico, great vlog, ever thought of being more engaging and open in the sense of, what kind of cars do you like? What are your hobbies? What sports do you play? It'll be fun to know more about you. Not just life in the expensive lane which most vloggers do these days...
just subscribed last night when i saw the video with shmee, i never knew you have ur own lol, now im watching the past vids one by one to catch up, nice vids nico^^
Hi Nico, your Videos are great, so relaxed. It would be nice, when you show us a look behind the F1 scenery, respectively more of them. I wish you all the best for you and your family.
Don't try to make "the perfect shot"- just let it happen. Whenever you let your guard down, it's a great watch. Not family life(wife and kid) just your day to day professional life.
Really good vlog. Try to look more at the camera. I know it’s hard and I don’t mean all the time but just for the long scenes. Really good keep it up. Your a huge inspiration to me
To be honest I think the videos have improved heaps, audio and music is way better. But I reckon if you could keep the camera a little bit steadier when you’re filming then that would bring the video to that next level
I like your vlogs a lot! Keep it up 👍 Zeppie is a great cameraman! As a petrolhead I have a question: which cars do you have parked in your garage? Grüsse aus Holland.
Hey Nico, how did you meet Zeppy, and why did you choose him to make your vlogs? Also, what kind of stuff did you get up to when you visited Tesla early in the year?
Hey Nico........ Can we have a video of your normal day routine, spending time with your family at home......... Wish to see you in that role too...... We love you champion.... You are my role model......

Please leave feedback on how I can improve these videos. I try and read every comment :) Thank you for watching!!
Nico Rosberg hi Nico i think, your videos are very good. It's very hard to get them better❤️
The editing is amazing.
Nico Rosberg maybe you could make a q&a...
Excellent video Nico. Improvements? None, just please keep them coming.
A minor suggestion would maybe be chopping a bit more the parts where nothing happens, like when the camera is focusing. Not because it is a major problem (it isn't at all), but because I wasn't able to find other possible improvements. Really good videos so far!
Hi! I'm a big fan. Love the vlogs, but you need the get a bit deeper field of vision. Amp up the f.stops:)
Always when nico uploads, I stop what I am doing and watch him
Thank you!
Loving these daily videos Nico!!
Doing them when I can :)
Hands down best TH-camr out there
The best son in the world
How can I improve?
Nico Rosberg there’s really not that much to change Nico, everything is perfect on the channel your channel is the best hands down
Such a nice person and humble, too. Keep it like this, Nico.
The work put into these vlogs is so good and entertaining! Everything is so smooth and fits so nicely. I love this content the way it m, it is feels very sincere and entertaining. Keep it up Nico!
It's great you're exploring different options. And the fact you're sharing those moments is absolutely amazing. Loved the video! Keep it up Nico.
Looking forward to see some videos from Kubica test on Hungaroring ;)
Andrzej there won‘t be any, williams kept it private so no filming or photos allowed. All they said was the test was „productive“ and „succesful“
Das war wirklich ein sehr schöner Vlog. Way to go, Nico! Video Qualität ist top, es sieht authentisch aus und es ist sehr abwechslungsreich gestaltet / geschnitten durch verschiedene Motive, Aufnahmen. Es kann gern so bleiben und brauch' keine große Verbesserung. :) Ich finde es auch sehr sympathisch wie offen du zeigst, dass du mittlerweile als Papa morgens auch gern mal Erziehungstipps liest statt wie früher nur News über Autos, Lifestyle etc. Witzig wie sich sowas im Leben verändert. ;)
*P.S.* Ich finde es super vorbildlich, dass du dich für mehr Zeit mit deiner Familie entscheiden hast statt für die Karriere. Das würde nicht vielen leicht fallen. Dennoch fehlst du in der Formel 1.
Nico your videos are amazing. I wouldn't even ask for more frequent uploads, because every new video feels so special, fills me with excitement.
Also, is there a vide of the Project One in the pipeline or are you getting one from Mercedes? Would love to see your take on the road legal F1.
Really appreciate the addition of closed captioning and the fact that you took the feedback on board! Loving the content.
No problem! I'm reading all comments so want to listen to feedback to get better
Just more behind the scenes stuff that the general public could never see.. however I think I’ve just found the best Motorsport lifestyle channel in the world... thank you so much for doing this!
can't stop watching your vlogs. best time at the day
Thank you Sandra
So great to come onto this after watching the 'crashes that changed racing.' Saw this over at the side. I had watched your day on the water and then when you flew to enjoy your Dad's celebration. Filming in Monaco is much like filming in Washington, DC...so many restrictions.
Vlogs are getting better and better. Great job Nico ;)
#SupportKubica
Thank you! How can we improve?
Wow! I must say the vlogs are impressive and now you also seem to be more constant with the uploads! One bit of advice would be to do some vlogs or at least parts of vlogs in the other languages you are fluent in, but for the rest keep up the good work! One of my favourite ever F1 drivers!
Thank you for being always so close to the fans ☺ any foods you enjoy eating or fancy trying now that you have a less strict diet to follow ? cheers from your biggest belgian fan 🙌
MY GOD, THESE VIDEOS ARE FUN TO WATCH! KEEP GOING NICO AND YOUR FILMER THAT I CANT CATCH HIS NAME ALREADY :D
Its really nice to see you interacting in the comments and wanting to improve this channel! Your videos are of such high quality and well edited its hard to see any faults in them - keep it up :)

big respect for you NICO ! Real Champ on the track and in real life ! looking forward to see more vlogs, peace !
Continue les Vlog s’est génial

Nico, great stuff!! Pls do some exotic supercar reviews (or any car really).. cant think of anyone on youtube matching the honest insights of a world champion with such an eye for detail
I enjoyed nico in f1last year, and good to see that some ex f1people are kinda normal, well as normal as possible if that makes sense,
Enjoying these vlogs
Awesome vlogs! Can’t wait for the next one! Hope your doing more work with the Sky F1 team, you were excellent!
Are you enjoying this new TH-cam life Nico? You seem like a VERY busy man!
We LOVE the content champ 😊
Hey Nico echt richtig nice, dass du so viel aus deinem Leben zeigst!Weiter so!
Als "Verbesserung" könntest vielleicht paar neue Serien machem, wie zB paar Q&As oder sowas :)

It's great to see you doing some hands on work with the camera Nico . Great VLOG
Authentic and personal.Really good stuff mate.
awesome video nico! I always cheer for you. go ahead!!

probably the richest vlogger
bujangapple but definately the most talented
and as you can see he is flying economy... seems that he tries to stay down to earth :) wirklich sympathisch Nico!
I don't think it was economy. That's Lufthansa's business class on the smaller planes, I think. They just have a drape separating them from everyone in the back, though... so, almost the same.
pommes599 it was Business, Even though it costs 50€ extra... not a lot
Great to see you again Nico. Looking forward to seeing more videos and your new projects.
Really enjoyed the last 2 vlogs, Nico. Last time I commented I proposed less music and more from you if possible so was very pleased to see that was the case with your latest uploads. Brilliant, thanks. ☺👍
Loving the vlogs Nico! Your personality really comes through in them :)
Will you be doing any more Sky F1 presenting? You did a really good job a Japan!!!
Scorchio he said he still loves going to the GPs, being with the guys he used to race with, so I think if it fits in his schedule and Sky wants him back, it would happen.
I love you from Spain ❤❤❤
Secret filming, then shows us the script! 😂 You're having a busy few days! Loving the insight, but I hope you get to put your feet up with your girls soon! ❤️
Nico you put out some great videos. Always look forward to new ones.

Thank you for your help back then and thanks for watching now :)
Love the vlogs, Nico we are so grateful we can see this part of your life that before we could never have known about! Thanks.
Well done! You're a natural at this Nico.
I've been totally busy since the beginning of the year because of my university and God, I was missing your laugh so much! It's so good to see you so happy. Thanks for that. (I know it isn't a question btw 😂)

Enjoying these videos!

Great videos Nico! My only wish for the future video wise, is for you to keep uploading!
I will try!
Im glad to hear about that! Thanks again.
Keep up the good work, guys! Really love your videos! Add may be a bit more moving transitions on the B-Roll sequences like John & Benjamin did when they had been in New York. Have fun in Budapest, Nico!
Great vlog!!! Love to watch them !! Greetings from Poland 😎
Bleib so sympathisch wie du bist, die Videos sind klasse!
Nice Vlog Nico! Some feedback, turn volume down a bit on the music side, lesser closeups with only music, +more of u talking, explaning what ur doing and so on. Some vlog-episodes feels more lika a musicvideo then a vlog. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes hard to show what we are doing because can't reveal but thank you for the feedback will try!
Great vlog Nico, keep them coming x
Haha 2 vids in that short time! Love it! How to improve? It is already great! Try to keep it by yourself and the subject the video is about 😉
Nico, what are you doing in Budapest? .... sorry, at the end you told it. Your vlog is at the moment perfect, not too much, not too less. Please do it like this in the future. I watch every episode!
For years you were my favorite driver and now you're my favorite youtuber too.
Thanks!
Nice and natural kept it fluid and engaging
subbed!!! Awesome content and keeps getting better and better!!
Hey Nico, great vlog, ever thought of being more engaging and open in the sense of, what kind of cars do you like? What are your hobbies? What sports do you play? It'll be fun to know more about you. Not just life in the expensive lane which most vloggers do these days...
You're killing it Nico !
Your vlogs are awesome. Keep em coming Nico 😎👌
just subscribed last night when i saw the video with shmee, i never knew you have ur own lol, now im watching the past vids one by one to catch up, nice vids nico^^
Loving these Vlogs. Do you think you could feature more motorsport people in them (like you did with Alex Wurz)? Maybe also feature Robert Kubica?
Let's see what the future holds
Thanks for your reply. Sounds good. Always think it's great when people from the industry interview their peers, gives us much more of an insight.
I really like the style of the editing, it has a great atmosphere to it. I enjoy watching your videos. Cheers!
Wieder mal richtig cooler vlog. Mach weiter so😀 Ist immer richtig schön, sie sich anzuschauen.
I like that there are more clips of you talking, not just the cameras following what youre doing! :)
Listening to the feedback and reading your comments!
Hi Nico, your Videos are great, so relaxed. It would be nice, when you show us a look behind the F1 scenery, respectively more of them. I wish you all the best for you and your family.

Great Vlog again, Hope we see some of the test with Robert. :)
Do you like nirvana? Random question but whatever.
Hey Nico, 5:04 for sure? 😂😂 love the vlogs keep it up!
To be honest I think the videos have improved heaps, audio and music is way better. But I reckon if you could keep the camera a little bit steadier when you’re filming then that would bring the video to that next level

Could you add the soundtrack names at the end of each video or in the descriptions? I really like your background music selections!
Have a good trip Nico !
Nico you are doing a fantastic videos!
Hey Nico, Really liking the video's, what hardware is being used to record all of this?
Nico, are we cool with Wehrlein? ;)
You are an absolute professional Nico .Is there nothing you cant do? XXX
Wie immer geiles Video Nico. Danke für diese super Einblicke, denn nicht nur als Rennfahrer bist du sehr begabt. Weiterhin viel Glück!
2 years and still searching the first song with the vocals
Hey Nico, how did you meet Zeppy, and why did you choose him to make your vlogs? Also, what kind of stuff did you get up to when you visited Tesla early in the year?
looks like filming with a Panasonic GH5 ? dam that autofocus
You are my favorite TH-camr. Keep it up💪👍👍👍
6🇩🇪👍
Thank you Marie - how can I improve?
Nico Rosberg You're already perfect, I can't think of anything
Nico Rosberg I have nothing to improve. All great😊👍👍👍
Love how former F1 drivers randomly appear. Last time we had Gerhard Berger and today Alex.
Great job. I like your vlogs.
Hey Nico........ Can we have a video of your normal day routine, spending time with your family at home......... Wish to see you in that role too...... We love you champion.... You are my role model......
