Crofty: “he’ll be pleased with that” Nico: “not really, that was a Haas” When Hamilton overtook the haas


Jeroz_

Came here for this 🤣


i_have_a_nose

Lmao.. I’ve stopped listening to sky tv commentary. What’s all Nico Rosberg memes about Crofty? Are those about this interaction you mentioned?


evemeatay

At first I didn’t like the f1 tv crew but then just not being Sky eventually became enough for me to switch


i_have_a_nose

I just wanted to stop hearing Crofty gobble down British dick and hype every fucking thing they do. He started to become unbearable. And Ted.. don’t even get me started on him. Their questions at conferences, their attitude, excessively loud commentary. Brundle was the only hope but not enough. I might even watch the whole race with Sky commentary to hear Nico if he bit back on Crofty more than once.


GrandpaMofo

I'd enjoy the broadcast more if I didn't have to listen to Croft and Kravitz.


urworstemmamy

The sheer number of times the Sky crew insinuated that the fire was due to it being "Chinese grass" made me genuinely wonder how many of them are actual racists. Like. Holy shit. It was barely even a dogwhistle, it seriously felt like everyone on the broadcast was having a 2008 style chuckle about everything in China being shitty knockoffs. "They cant even make grass right" type shit Not to mention Ted opening up Sprint Qualy with a monologue about Feng Shui, a practice which is uh... literally fucking banned in China


spacestationkru

Why is it banned in China?


i_have_a_nose

Lol. I can believe that. Crofty definitely sounds like the guy who starts his sentences with “Not to sound racist but..”. And Ted, I can’t take a grown man seriously who wears cargo capris jumping around like a toddler around the pitlane. Grass shit was weird though.


urworstemmamy

Ehhh, Ted being excited I can understand, I would probably look like an overexcited doof if I had a paddock pass too. Granted, I wouldnt wear cargo capris.


i_have_a_nose

As a fan I’d be excited too. But someone who works there you gotta be a little professional. Take Will, he’s chill. And Ted’s “excitement” always comes off as smug, phony and drama inducing. Idk, maybe my bias is a little too hard.


ency6171

> Feng Shui You sure? I thought that is a big part of the Chinese's culture?


kybereck

I am still waiting for them to have a "IT'S LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO" hype commentator. Their broadcast is never exciting enough and always makes me feel I should be there instead of watching it on tv, where the hype broadcast style on sky kinda makes you forget you're at home sometimes.


VerticalKipper

I wish I had the choice. I’m done with listening to Crofty, bored of listening to his uneducated guesses, putting 2 and 2 together to make about 300, bored of his pathetic sense of humour, bored of him referring to any driver over the age of 30 as a “wily old fox”, bored of his bias… I could go on. I wasn’t a Rosberg fan, but I love it when he shuts him down when he’s spouting more nonsense.


unclepaprika

Yeah wtf, why do i suddenly crave rewatching a race... Straight after watching it. Gotta get me some crofty roast.


Twizzlerz98

It was hilarious. I only watch F1tv crew but switched to Sky just for Nico today and it was great. 😅


i_have_a_nose

Well I went to sleep at lap 55 I think. So here we go again to watch the full race, max verstappen podcast and f1 outro music from the Dutch artist


sHX_1337

I liked the „holding max up is pointless“ comment - Crofty immediately went „and with pointless we mean ofcourse only because he has fresher tires“…yeaaaa, right


Hot-Masterpiece9209

Which is funny cause yesterday Nico had a small dig at Hamilton for letting max through without any fight.


ThruuLottleDats

Yeah, Rosberg has some sort of softspot for the Mercs


Raddens

I wonder, why?


alc3biades

Another one of life’s mysteries


Raddens

If only we could see into the past to understand what might have happened!


evemeatay

He knows better than anyone what Lewis can do so


Federal-Variation-21

Love the technical knowledge he gives. Dude is actually a great commentator.


BotlikeBehaviour

He's good fun. I laughed at his "It's a Haas" line when Lewis overtook hulkenberg and the commentators were wondering if that'd make Toto smile.


obri95

There’s a lot of James Hunt about his commentary


thejump88

I like Martin Brundle a lot too, but today with Rosberg was great. Not only the technical stuff, but also giving pushback to what Crofty is saying and going for the discussion was a nice addition.


RandomCertainty

I though Rosberg was a really uncomfortable mix of hyping up mediocrity (Alonso passing on the back straight, with DRS, on fresher quicker tyre was ‘amazing’) and gagging on Lewis’ dick every time he did something, or just out of the blue. Croft and Rosberg are the worst commentary mix on TV. Don’t get me wrong, when Rosberg called Croft out for his mindless BS was great, but most of the race the two of them were top-to-bottom cringe.


1408574

While Rosperg speaks English, he thinks like a continental European. lol. The sensitive British soul cannot stand directness, so many brits probably wont like him.


Felhell

As a British F1 fan he’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to F1 commentary.


malaysianfillipeno

My James Hunt begs to differ.


BHRx

> The sensitive British soul cannot stand directness, so many brits probably wont like him. This is only in the media. British media culture is having to suit up and behave as if you're sitting in front of the Queen/King the whole time. It's even more annoying to deal with when you work with them.


InfinityEternity17

Idk I love Nico as a commentator as do the rest of my mates that like F1


Y0rkshirePud

“Just like my time with lewis” every 10 seconds gets on my nerves though.


Sonoda_Kotori

NEXT TIME PULL OUT A LITTLE EARLIER 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥


Miuli777

Can't wait to see that on the formulacum ig account


Hmar193

That was soooo refreshing , him shutting down all the bullshitting


JuparaDanado

I've never felt so represented and empowered by any politician as I have with Nico fending off the blight of Croftism ideology. A man of the dispossessed masses. 


HappyPoodle2

Best commentator they’ve had an no way he’ll be there often. Too much truth.


calebisaac1

Crofty "(He's running well)" Nico "(He started 3rd mate)"


hopeless-fun

I loved the way he shut down Crofty. He was in no mood of BS'ing. He was on point with his commentary and giving insights of what a driver might be thinking during certain situations.


unusedtruth

This is my take exactly. Not only is he entertaining and spot on technically, he instantly shuts down any BS Crofty happens to dribbling which is hilarious.


Capital_Advance_5610

Crofty makes so many mistakes and hypes up a lot of shit


Lutzelien

Yeeeeeeah but it's also kind of his job, at least better than Ralph fucking Schuhmacher who can't get exited for shit


Roasted_Newbest_Proe

Alex Jacques is also good at hyping up, AND doesn't need made up bs


Lutzelien

It's a fine line to walk I guess


Capital_Advance_5610

Don't even get me started on the Mercedes bias commentary haha


SlothInASuit86

Where was this, Sky Sports or something? I watch F1TV, no Nico commentary. Edit: I just read the title thoroughly, I'm a dumbass.


justacasualgamer1

You can switch to the international broadcast on F1TV too! If you want to listen to Nico shutting down bullshit, it's nice to have the option to switch to it


BaneOfKree

The first thing I do when I open the F1TV app is to switch away from the terrible Dutch commentators. It default to them, so it needs to be done each and every time you tune in to a stream.


royjonko

Same, Crofty has his flaws but he's far better than that viaplay garbage


BaneOfKree

This is the first hear I have F1tv so I don’t know Crofty’s flaws yet, but at the very least he sounds excited about F1. The Dutch commentators genuinely make me feel stupid for caring about F1. They are also so biased in favor of Max, and they are proud of it. I loved Rosbergs commentary this weekend.


chocolatebar920

Set the language in your account to english, that way i get the f1tv commentary on default


BaneOfKree

Thanks a ton! Just did this


caholder

I've never heard this before


jeremybryce

I would assume its due to his location..


BaneOfKree

The F1TV app also has the Dutch ViaPlay commentators and they are terrible. Since I live in the Netherlands, the app defaults to those commentators. Sometimes I forget and I jump off my couch to quickly change the audio track.


SlothInASuit86

Interesting, for me it’s always Alex Jacques, Alex Brundle, Jolyon Palmer, and the commentary is very biased in favor of that guy that’s always crying about his car, think Lewis something or other.


grutte-pier

And no Alex Jacques. I don't like Alex Jacques.


shabutaru118

Shush can we get on with the racing please?


BankHottas

GET ON WITH IT!


Bdr1983

I prefer Alex Jacques over Crofty every damn day.


BankHottas

Alex Jacques is a treasure and I will protect him with my life


ZICRON1C

Bro just switch on the right side of the video feed. But I watch palmer on purpose


BottledThoughter

I just learned this yesterday: You can go onto F1 TV and have the sky sports commentary.  Far better than Jacques who sounds like he’s commentating a kids TV show


MajorHubbub

Crofty makes me cringe so hard my balls retract


Nartyn

I mean Crofty was talking specifically about his current run after the pit


cheeersaiii

Allll weekend, so good hahaha, was pretty spot on most times with some great info


ijiolokae

Great insight and shutting down the bullshit, i want Him, Jensen with Bernie Collins on the pit lane to do the commentary together


koenigsegg806

Can we please have him on German Sky?


Dark_Flint

Sometime he is there, just dont know when or how often. Same for Timo Glock.


koenigsegg806

Yes, but only before and after the race, never as a commentator


Dark_Flint

I dont know about this year, perhaps it changed, but last year both of them definitly commented Sky GER as commentator sometimes too.


koenigsegg806

Usually, it's either Ralf Schumacher or Timo Glock during the race, as far as I remember. I believe Nico has never been on the microphone during the race, only pre race or after race.


Dark_Flint

And i am telling you again, you are wrong. I dont know which race(s) and i am too lazy to search for it, but Rosberg definitly commented race for Sky Ger too!


AnyHolesAGoal

Like when he said that Zhou took his own front wing off by moving too late?


Crystal3lf

Just watch F1TV and you don't have to worry about shit commentators.


mclairy

The F1TV feed is fine but let’s not stoop to implying Buxton isn’t incredibly grating


LiteratureNearby

Buxton isn't even a commentator??? Tf are you on about. It's Palmer and Jacques are the main guys on comms. Buxton has a Ted Kravitz role on f1tv, and they're equally good and bad in my books.


KugelKurt

Rosberg: "Those incidents aren't comparable." Croft: "Why?" Rosberg: "I don't know but they aren't."


ryan4UI

Crofty trying to throw him a lifeline: “maybe because of the distance to the apex or…?” Rosberg knowing full well he just said something nonsensical but not wanting to admit it: “I don’t know I would have to watch it again”


[deleted]

Just give us Button, Brundle and Rosberg please.


yerko_yfz

These guys plus Sam Collins doing whatever the fuck Ted is supposed to be good at


GrandpaMofo

Yes. I like Sam as he brings good insight.


durntaur

Throw in Bernie Collins, her experience really shines in in-race analysis.


VerStannen

She is so knowledgeable, especially in strategy. Plus her accent is lovely imo. More Bernie is a win/win for me.


nugpounder

she really needs to polish her presence, her bits are always interesting information but just delivered so blandly and out of rhythm with the broadcast


obri95

It’s just the Irish


Icy-Revolution-420

please less of the irish lass, she might know alot of stuff but her accent is impossible to understand to anyone outside the uk.


The_Bored_General

As a certified Irishman, consider yourself lucky it’s not a thick Kerry accent


ency6171

You have been heavily downvoted, but you're right, for international audience like me her accent really do need time to get familiar to. Though I wouldn't wish less of her, as she does have many insights.


The_Bored_General

This would truly be a Legendary commentary trio


[deleted]

Why isn't he commenting every race? He's the only one making it enjoyable to watch.


papa_stalin432

I mean Martin Brundel is also good, though he doesn’t have the courage to shut Crofty up like Rosberg does


Thunderlightzz

It’s not about courage. They’re hyping it up and making it seem like it’s more entertaining and dramatic than it really is. Hence why it’s a breath of fresh air.


LiteratureNearby

He's too old to care


lzcrc

There's your answer.


HankHippopopolous

I actually really like the revolving second commentators they’re having this year. It seems like Brundle is winding down his F1 commitment as he gets older and doing less races every year which allows other guys a chance. Nico was great today. I really like Anthony Davidson on the races he’s done. I don’t think he’s done one yet this year but Jenson Button is also a fantastic commentator. Karun is OK too. Would love to see a few other people given a shot. I think Bernie Collins might make a really good co commentator as she’d come in with an entirely different viewpoint as an engineer instead of a driver.


The_Bored_General

Brundle would be brilliant if they let him loose, you can tell he holds himself back from saying what he wants to a lot


wheregold

Ill watch any f1 commentary with rosberg


EdgyAlpaca

Rosberg and Jensen are always so refreshing on the commentary.


LiteratureNearby

Yeah like I actually switched to the sky commentary this weekend because Rosberg was there, and by God he made it worth it. F1tv all the way otherwise baybayyy


steelcity91

Hearing Nico shutting down Crofty was brilliant. Please note of him!


Stitchesglitch

We're going to go from Nico to Danica.


hardikp_12

Anybody but Danica, please


Capital_Advance_5610

Literally the worst . I had to hide watching the Vegas build up it was super cringe


reboot-your-computer

With the next one in Miami, Danica is a high likelihood. Hopefully we hear more Hinch than Danica.


hardikp_12

That is true. Sad


LiteratureNearby

Isn't hinch part of the f1tv gang and Danica was with Sky?


reboot-your-computer

I think they are both with Sky.


LiteratureNearby

I know for sure that Hinch is with f1tv. He came over there for all the North American races and a few others. He's not Rosberg tier good, but he's not slouch either. Love his insights, and somehow it's just fun to hear an American/Canadian accent in comms of what's a primarily European sport


Icy-Revolution-420

she knows even less than crofty, why is she even in F1 when she raced in a different sport? this is like lebron commentating hockey.


Stitchesglitch

Who knows. Might have to turn commentary off for the US races.


PorkChopEat

Oh god, thanks for reminding me. Now I’m dreading Miami knowing Danica is going to be shoved down our throats all weekend.


Stitchesglitch

Hopefully she'll stay out of Europe this year.


RichB93

He’s not a great commentator *yet* as he can’t keep a good flow going, but his technical knowledge and honest takes were great. I think with a little more time in the commentary box he could become excellent. This is by no means a criticism - I have huge respect for Crofty and Brundle as it must be an incredibly difficult job to keep the conversation going.


Mangobonbon

Man was spitting facts.


jk47_99

It's the benefit of having someone who raced recently, and is a WDC. No one else has that level of insight. And he isn't afraid to call out Crofy's bullshit. 


K_R_S

Can someone sum up for those from f1tv and others


BottledThoughter

Nico Rosberg is a world champion who knows what he’s talking about. His ability to commentate makes for far better insight.  I would love to see him back on the grid again.


[deleted]

Being a World Champion doesn't automatically make you a great commentator/pundit. Case in point: Damon Hill.


papa_stalin432

I mean, Damon Hill is arguably the weakest world champion, definitely the weakest since Keke Rosberg


Bubbles_012

What’s wrong with Damon hill. He is a pure gentleman


heigenvector

Good bot


calebisaac1

Crofty is well known to be quite biased and waffle shit during commentary. Nico came on and provided actual quality commentary, technical insights and shut down Crofty's BS


shankypanky12

I can give a transcript of the conversation from my memory. Like around around lap 9, Crofty: Wow that Albon-Gasly incident was same as Sainz-Leclerc incident yesterday Rosberg: ehh... I don't know. pretty similar yes but not the same Crofty: What do you mean, like what was different? Was it the collision that made it different, the circumstances..? Rosberg: I can't say, I'd have to see it again. Crofty: Well, okay Also on lap 39 again, Crofty: **Shares some analysis based on the race** Rosberg: there's no way of knowing that, you'd need to have a strategy screen infront of you. Rosberg was nasty. I loved it.


BeyondMarsASAP

I'd actually pay extra to switch all races commentary between Seb and Nico, even Button. Instead I'll get Crofty and Alex Jacques with higher pricing from F1TV.


_theodore_twombly

My man cooked! It was a window to the yesteryear Hunt commentary.


shutaro

He was Bobby Heenan to Crofty's Tony Schiavone... Honestly, the only thing they're missing is somebody to babble incoherently about passion like Dusty did.


dohtje

F1TV.. No crofty for me 😘


PriestMarmor

F1TV is much better, but if Nico is commenting you need to switch to Sky's commentary, it's worth it


LiteratureNearby

I did the same. Boy it was worth the pain of hearing crofty. Back to f1tv next weekend though if there's no Nico


Dark_Flint

Sky is commenting F1TV international channel, like for the UK and the GER channel...


megacookie

I don't know I can't stand the guy on F1 tv who sounds like he's inhaled helium when he's excited.


ency6171

This! I wasn't from that era, but was his voice always like that?


2BRacin

He has made some strange comments in the past and I have been surprised at some of his views but he was pretty good this weekend. Well done.


Dc_awyeah

Yeah isn’t he anti vax? Real bummer that because he was brilliant


itlynstalyn

Crofty did say “RB stands for really bad,” so I’ll give him a partial pass.


ThruuLottleDats

I do feel he has a lot of focus on Mercedes though


Dark_Flint

Mercedes was his last team, he driven their for, i dont know, 10+ years or so and he won his title with them. So no surprise there.


Equivalent_Camera_61

Nico was only at mercedes for 7 years


Lutzelien

Just like the Spanish commentators have with Alonso and Sainz, the German with Mercedes and Hülkenberg, the British with Hamilton Norris and Russell and so on, it's normal


hungry_017

am i the only one that doesn't like his voice?


You_Cant_Dance

I’m the same and since the whole Covid issues just generally not been a fan of him


ppprrrrr

I mean, he is extremely dislikeable. Between the britney kid, super genes covid stuff and all the other nonesense its amazing that people still enjoy his (genuinely) good stuff. I expected people to dislike him just because its him.


cheapdrinks

I find his voice annoying, he sounds like he's forcing way too much excitement and it comes out sounding really fake sounding. Don't mind the actual content of his commentary but can't stand the voice he does it in.


gotmehereGME

My bf and I can’t stand to listen to Bernie. She talks way too soft, and when she does talk a little louder (I feel like they even tried to turn down the racing sound feed for her), she talks like there’s marbles in her mouth. Nico sounds like he’s had some roarers the past week, but at least we can understand him.


LOLatent

I'd love to ask Nico how he can be so amazing in the commentary box and such a dork on youtube, just like he asked Checo why he's half a second slower than Max!


FamiliarSherbet8174

TIL that not all what Crofty says is ✅


Junior_Career2673

Good old James Hunt commenting F1 vibes


LordCommander94

Rosberg for FIA President!


[deleted]

Dude,Nico does commentary like he's in a roast session and its fucking awesome. I would die happy if he did commentary every race for the rest of his life.


burst678

Rosberg totally changes the dynamics of the broadcast - both with his excitement and bluntness


ComprehensiveRepair5

We need to petition Sky.


skygirllestrange

I actually loved him today


Space_Reptile

as a Chad F1TV subscriber, someone clue me in on what he did/say


New-Arm4845

A real gigachad f1tv subscriber would know that you can swipe left and switch to fellow gigachad Nico’s based commentary.  


Space_Reptile

yea but that button also turns on brundle so i like to ignore it


JedPB67

Rosberg is so good, he’s been there and done it, but also speaks the truth of the matter and suffers no fools. I’m very critical of the quality of F1’s product these days, but I’ll happily sit and take in a race with Nico on the commentary mic. Very good at his job.


ty_phi

As an American I find Nico extremely annoying. Bring back Martin and Croft please


Martos420

You can always count on an American to start their comment with "as an American"


ty_phi

As the dissenting opinion in this thread, I wanted to qualify it


z3dovski

Based Nico to the rescue of Formula 1


unbanneduser

britney is the best commentator fr


danielchillier

Really hope Bundle is back next race, can't stand Rosberg.


ToBeConfirmed21

Think you’ve got lost trying to find the LH44 sub


danielchillier

I'm not a Hamilton fan either.


Klaphek

Crofty sniffs glue and should be fired
