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?
Nico Rosberg Singapore 2016 Qualy. I was there for one day unfortunately. Enjoyed what you showed there! Super fast as rocket!
That Verstappen overtake was magic
Guys you do now that this is actually Nico right! But I liked your debt how you went from last to 8 place. Just an incredible drive!
Has to be Abu Dhabi 2016😃
Abu Dhabi 2016 and China 2012☺️
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.
this should have been the top comment mate
@@anaveragebloke3996 you can't beat that if nico himself makes a comment here :)
@@Senny_V aaaand all of that is pure speculation, saying a driver magically became that much better after a year of al loss, OR that Rosberg is just far better than Bottas, which is really the more likely one with the facts present.
This is coming from someone who thinks Hamilton is undoubtedly one of the best drivers of all time by the way, my esteem of him has nothing to do with this analysis.
@@Senny_V It is true that Lewis matured a lot from 2016 but I think it is also true that Bottas cannot hold a candle to Rosberg. It never even gave a fight to Lewis, every year more and more boastful and every year fails miserably, they are not in the same category
The answer is both
"Nico , Its Jame-"
"No shut up im not gonna let him by"
He is actually told to give position to Hamilton in Monaco 2016 and he did that
@@rockzs74r really? I din't knew that xD
@@rockzs74r because he had problem i think with his brakes
@@RomaN-kt5ox he had problems with the car so he was much slower and had to let him by
@@marioalvarado4149Ah yes i remember that. thank you.
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.
Bahrain and Russia too
"With 23 wins, and a world title at his pocket, Rosberg retired. *Job done* "
Now that's how you end the video about Nico
He left on a high. He didnt need to break records or anything, he will always be known as the one to beat Hamilton!
NICE
Mischief Managed 😉
Yeah I agree
Hulkenberg
“One world title is enough. He proved what he needed to prove, to himself and anyone who doubted him” - Niki Lauda (Rush)
Why did I read this in Niki's voice? And have goosebumps? Sh*t.
"When I saw him 4 years after he retired, me as champion again, him as a CZcamsr, he was doing well. Still living each day like his last"
-Lewis Hamilton
Lmao, Vettel has four and people still doubt him
@@poyraz8368 That's just objectivly wrong.
Nico achived his dream of wining an F1 championship, he beat his all time rival and didn't give him a chance to respond, he retired at the top of his game and he went back home to save his personal life.
He had no reason to stay and he had all the reasons to leave.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a child without a functioning brain
@@boltmix7294 You make it sound like no chance to give a response is a good thing
"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.
aged like milk
@@joshuasimmons4044 It was polemic, but it was way more tense than 2016
Legit what I said to myself
In terms of drama and entertainment yes, in terms of integrity and fairness no
@@zeinmets3550 Max 100% deserves the WDC after the disgrace of Silverstone
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
He was a monster behind the wheel for those seven races...He really backed off the last 4 races of 2016 and played it safe.
@TheSearchingTruth "Mercedes wouldn't have allowed it" That's nonsense. What do you think they would have done? Fired one of them because they cannot have two number ones?
@TheSearchingTruth tbh mercedes played fair with them both and always let them both race. Plus rosberg even had seniority in that team being there longer
Rosberg and Mercedes are both German... what a plonker you are.
@@thesupremekai1980s Check the employee list on Wikipedia. The F1 Mercedes team is almost British. Except a few, e.g. Lauda and Toto, who are Austrian.
"With 23 wins and a world title at his pocket, Rosberg retired. Job done."
what a powerful line
Will is awesome. Will is life
Exactly bro
There's a reason why Alonso is better than him
There is a reason why almost everyone is better than him
The sAAAm Show very stupid comment
It's still heartbreaking to see how the friendship between Nico and Lewis got destroyed by their rivalry....
Lewis is the one who destroyed it. Nico still nowdays speaks about Lewis with high respect.
HAM can’t be friends with someone who has beaten him on track regularly.
@@Bahamuttiamat just like when lewis drove into nico in spain 2016?
thats racing, simple as that. there are no friends on the track, specially when they're fighting for the championship
tbh, this whole friendship thing was a media set up. They have been friendly to each other and a shared past, but it was not like that they hung out every night despite living in the same building in Monaco
By refusing to be the "PERFECT WINGMAN "he became the world champion.
Nonsense he was never in that position, they were both top tier, number 1 drivers. there was only once in Monaco 2014 I believe where he was holding up a much faster Lewis in the wet and asked to move over. He held station in Malaysia 2013. Ross maybe feeling he had enough chances to pass Lewis and failed each time. Bottas, contrary to popular opinion always puts himself in this predicament because of his race craft. Remember him holding back against a crippled Seb in Spain I think..
he just doesn`t have the speed, hence he falls away in the championship and enters the `help your teammate zone`. Which is not the same as when Ferrari told Leclerc to hold station in Australia of all places. Charles answered this nonsense with his driving.. Something Bottas has never done. Remember 2017 or 2018 Hungary? Bottas moved over, Hamilton failed to catch the Ferraris then he moved over for Bottas. Why because it was still early in the season. Peace
His biggest moment of brilliance was when he demanded to swap mechanics with Hamilton, then magically Hamilton had 4 engine failures in 2016 and all other Mercedes powered cars had 1 total that year.
MAGIC
@@Albtraum_TDDC Shelve your tin foil hat
The only man to beat Lewis Hamilton on a level playing field. Same machinery different outcomes. Something nobody has done it till now.
button did it when they were both in McLaren in 2011
Many drivers would do it in fair conditions
Jeremy Damien True, but in my opinion at that time both weren’t in a dog fight for the world crown. In this situation both of the players had their A game on.
Button beated him in 2011
cinegraphics deluded
6:04 I love how Schumacher was happy for his teamate even after a very unlucky retirement from 2
He should have been mentioned as a competitor, he was even closer than Button already 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Luke Mallory What were the other times?
His life after retirement was so painful an accident left him in coma but now he has recovered from it and he is okay.
KIMI Raikkonen uh, he has certainly not fully recovered. Sure, he’s conscious, but he is *not* okay
@@counterfit5 Hey, reports are he's going for stem cell surgery, so let's channel the racing spirit into his recovery. I hope he is back soon.
So weird now seeing how happy Hamilton was when Nico got his first podium, they were really good mates at one point
Saying they were more than good mates they were brothers. Nico and Lewis basically grow up together. They stay in the same room together when racing overseas.
He told on top gear that his dad put a car in a ditch because keke rosberg pulled their car's handbrake when they were headed to a carting or junior formula ( I don't remember correctly) event together 😂
Amazing what Hamilton's ego can ruin.
@@GoatyHerps it was both of them , they were gunning for WDC
@@LittleLightIsaOnce - Do you still watch F1? Hamilton is the sorest loser the sport has ever seen.
Someday there will be a movie on the 2014-2016 Rosberg/Hamilton’s relationship just like the Lauda/Hunt’s one in Rush
Friday Weekend cool thanks!
I hope so
2013-2016
Those last 4 races in 2016 especially the last one shaved a good few years of Rosberg's life. Every competitive champion in F1 would have done what Hamilton did and backed Rosberg up in the last race. The constructor's championship was already won, only the driver's championship was to be decided.
Rosberg won the psycological battle against Hamilton that year.
Rosberg made the right move to retire on a high as he achieved his dream.
Bullsh*t a true champion wins on merit not by hurting competitors chances. What lewis did at dubai in 16 was selfish non sporting and disgusting. To win like a true sports man is to drive your best race fast as possible not try to drive slow and ruin competitions race. Lewis is a sore loser and a baby no matter his talent
So Senna and Schumacher and Prost aren’t true champions then (deliberately crashing an opponent out is surely far worse)
@@captaintoyota3171 wow you're so deluded
@@captaintoyota3171 that is why I prefer ROS over HAM, sena, prost or Schumacher. Not saying Nico is better than them, he is not. But he is a cleaner driver and has more respect for others
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
Was looking for this (first sentence of your comment). I actually was Rosberg's fan though.
Agreed, Max in front of you when the WDC is on the online is classified as a nightmare
@@MultiTito33 arguably better than a charging Max behind you though
agreed, large balls
fighting for a WDC title against Lewis needs a truck load of huge balls to begin with. Divebomb Max is probably one of the small ones if you really think about it.
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.
Not to mention Lauda also openly favoured Hamilton even though it was Nico and Michael that built the team up and endured the difficult initial seasons.
Hagar The Horrible Niki favored the passion of Hamilton and his drive to
Win. I never liked nico
Funny thing is that mercedes had them both equal they where not Ferrari 😂
@@theodorecarttar454 But you have to respect his dedication to win.
To date It still hurts me how Lewis didn't win the 2016 WDC. I wished Rosberg was more of a Lewis supporter then challenger.
2006: Rookie is the faster driver on the track
2021: Rookies out after 3 Corners
Mazispin doesn’t count lol
That Fernando guy, got a podium on his debut season on an Alpine. 2021 is just as great

Nico, the only guy that could have made the 2019 and 2020 season actually exciting, we miss you champ !
How could he have done that while he was uncapable to defend his title because he is washed?
@@jalheeljalhe5799 he wasn't washed. He retired at his prime
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 Yes he was washed, he was done mentally and emotionally. I cannot certify that physically he was too, but he admitted that he had nothing left in his tank that is why he retired. He could not repeat the same sacrifice, that cost him too much to get this title.
@@jalheeljalhe5799 even admitting he was washed, he could have recovered during 2017 and 2018 (Just like he did in 2015) While VET challenged HAM. Then in 2019, challenge Lewis. But he Just retired we will never know
Valtteri it’s James …..
Underrated driver in my opinion. Who else can say they went up against Hamilton and Schumacher and beat them both?
Schumacher was a different story though as he was no longer in his prime
@@TheKestevon Hamilton's dnfs
@@o0oStillWeRiseo0o one of this dnfs was his fault (in Barcelona).
He really is underrated, rationally seen I surely couldn’t name 50 drivers in F1s history, who were better drivers than Rosberg. And that’s one hell of an achievement thinking that I don’t know but let’s say only the 1000 more or less greatest racing drivers of all time in general even making it into F1.
I would say a top 30 all time driver.
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.
VRS, the two would still be friends if nico, like the other teammates from lewis, had played number 2. since, lewis doesn‘t accept an equivalent opponent, he just plays his dirty games. friendships don‘t matter.
TradingKid1998 even though in that same race nico was spun at lap one and Lewis was gifted victory in Monaco and considering he had won the 7 previous races, it’s fare to say he probably would have won in Spain but they crashed in a racing incident. Lewis fans are awful.
TradingKid1998 I’m not a rosberg fan. He might of cheated(IDK) in his defence Monaco is a hard track and quali is where drivers push at max. Also, Lewis made the call to pit in Monaco apparently so that’s on him and they didn’t gift him wins. Hamilton is a great driver and so is rosberg but Hamilton fans are stupid. They never accept that Lewis was beaten. In 2013, I don’t know what you are talking about, nico drove well and won. Simple. Also, this was like the only season ever that Lewis had worse reliability than nico in his entire career
TradingKid1998 I kind of understand you’re logic. Both drivers did great IMO. Although, why didn’t Lewis win the race if he was faster. I mean, he could of won if he was faster but he wasn’t because he was beaten. That’s just my opinion. They both did interesting things to try beat each other. Bahrain they were great
@TradingKid1998 2014 hamilton won because of electronics issue in abu dhabi.
New F1 fan here. Catching up on past years. Wow, this man is a hero.
yup he was an excellent driver
Better than Lewis Hamilton
AdamsAudiVlog * if you can beat someone who is better than you it clearly says something
AdamsAudiVlog * that you are able to beat someone who’s topped you 2 years before
@AdamsAudiVlog * yes. So did hamilton in 2008. Massa's engine blow in hungary, singapore win thrown out by the crashgate. So stop whining about mechanical dnfs. Do you not watch f1? Nico that season went all in for preservation, going easy on the engines, and splitting engine penalties with a smart split of point gains. Hamilton was the faster one, but nico was the more complete driver of 2016. If hamilton put his back in earlier thaf year, he would have easily won. But the important thing is that he didn't. He lost. End of
2021 can't be crazier than this year
2021: NICO ROSBERG SIGNS FOR ASTON MARTIN AS TEAM MATE FOR SEBASTIAN VETTEL
Don't forget sainz signed for ferrari, That could be intresting too
Did not know vettel will return to red bull
@Jonas Kaiser ok
Racing point is own by Aston Martin who are just taking the team name
Stroll's dad is still the owner so it probably wont happen.
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.
@Ammar Shaare True mid agree, because the really champions want more titles, senna say hes mother "Mamãe, quando ganhar o primeiro campeonato eu paro" obviusly don't was... And continuos racing, why?? Because Ayrton was the true motorsport champions, Nico no
@@systemkillerinner3 Nico wanted to win one single championship and he did it, that was his ultimate dream in F1 that was no need to stay in F1 after 2016 for him. Nikki Lauda said this a lot of times when interviewed
What a great point! That probably should've been included in this video
@@PedroSilva-ik8mv ok, wanted and take hes dream, now entires in the viewer's mind: As a viewer, you think of a driver who doesn’t want more? Being at the zenith of his career, the viewer when see these always think "this Guy isn't a true/great champions"
I personally believe that is the most brilliant moment as well.
Underrated and overhated by many, he deserves much more respect
@JB 02 consistant... ??
@@SirSoppyBalls Certainly pushed him further than bottas had
@JB 02 Look at the number of retirements Hamilton had the year Rosberg won the WC, also look who put it on pole in qualy etc etc, then look up what "consistent" means in a dictionary. When Hamiltons car didn't get destroyed on track Hamilton outclassed Rosberg by a big margin, no wear near "matching" Hamilton as you claim
@@Jeppelelle ok hamilton fanboy whiteknight
@@Jeppelelle 2 dnf for hamilton vs 1 for rosberg on a 21 races calendar
Why i love nico over hamilton is because he keeps calm and collected when faced with an issue relating to their rivalry where as hamilton is bitter. The break in friendship was due hamiltons reaction to every mishaps caused by nico but when the roles are reversed i dont see the same bitterness from nico as we see from hamilton. Thats a true champion
Valterri Bottas is a great driver, but he’s not Nico Rosberg..
He's better
Matt lol, not if he doesn’t win a WC. If he does, I might reconsider but i don’t see it happening.
Nico drove like a hero all of that year, Valterri is going to have to kick it into 9th gear to impress more than that.

Rosberg getting some recognition? It must be Christmas. Good on you, F1.
Usually, the video they are producing is always about the same guys, Schumacher Senna Hamilton Vettel Alonso and Raikkonen. All other champions are most of the time left apart even for some events like these guys often get a video for their birthday, but others champ nothing.
They better not runs out of idea for next video
Fricking finally!
THIS may be SIGN : the sign that soon they will do their first video about Prost... but a one that isn’t trash talking him...
Rasengan VXW there HAVENT been any Vettel videos he’s more like a Prost in that sense.. he goes under the radar
I like that last sentence. "Job done."
Pretty much sums up his career. Working up to the world championship over a decade, then leaving when hes done it
if I remember correctly I saw Nico in a talkshow on german tv after his wdc win were he spoke a bit about why he retired. I didn't tune in in time and its a while ago but if remember correctly he said something along the likes of really having the dream of becoming a world champion but knowing that he wouldn't become the best of all time, outscoring Schumacher and so on and that he was under immense pressure even before the start of the season and suffered from that but just wanted to win a championship or something like that.
Some people say that he ultimately surrendered to the pressure and I can see where this view comes from but in my opinion that makes his achievements by no means smaller but maybe even greater. He knew his biggest problems/"fears" and he faced them and not only overcame his opponents but himself to achieve his biggest goal. After he won the Championship he already was a Formula One World Champion, it doesn't get any better for almost all racing drivers or athletes in general then ultimately becoming the worlds best in their sport. So he retired with the biggest achievement he could imagine.
That sounds more theatrical than i imagined but sums up what I personally think about it. He knew he couldn't become the best of all times (more than 7 WDC's) so he retired being the best of the season, far more than most drivers ever come close to.
I was not even a Nico fan in that year but I highly respect the decision to leave on a high than to drag himself along for a few years, achieving maybe one, maybe none other title in god knows how many seasons instead he now is with his family and can go to races when he wants to, not when he has to
"And it was a mercedes man vs another Mercedes man"
Back when there was no valterri its James.....
Good Times 👍
Paddy tried it on Hamilton. Didn't work.
12:50 in the wise words of Allbon "this guy is such a sore loser"
Well in this situation it was the only chance for him to win the championship so of corse he did that... honestly why is everbody always complaining about hamilton team orders are bad/dumb and everything but if you fight for your result its also not okay? I dont like hamilton to much but its wierd that everybody is complaining about lewis... the move from alonso to hamilton was even worse (and im a big alonso fan)
Indeed he is, win at all costs is a phylosophy I understand, but then where is sportmanship? NIco enjoyed his championship win, and Hamilton could resume winning after, I don't understand why soreness is transferred to his fanboys, he keeps winning, can we all just move on?
@@rpgrap6461 The reason people complain is look at what Mercedes does to Bottas and did to Nico there are times he will be in the race lead and James will force him to let Lewis pass so he wins the race and championship and he was willing to do it to be a good teammate but look at what Lewis did here its not about fighting for your result in this situation that was his teammate who has helped him win championships before but when it is time for u to return the favor he fails to do so and also look at him when he loses and Bottas or Nico wins he turns into such a sore loser but when it is the other way around they are so happy because they want the team to win, like its more the shoe is on the other foot scenario plus look at the fact at how James always plays favorite to Lewis and then he's like we will return the favor but they never do case in point letting him pass in Sochi
Aditya G i know what you mean im a bottas fan but in this race this was the only chance for lewis to get the championship and it was a team vs team fight not a nico vs seb/max fight so its clear that hes slowing down... and its also pretty common and okay to let a mate pass if hes faster (like alonso with massa or hamilton bottas often) its just not fair to do it like schuhmacher (if you need to let him past before the finish line) and its also pretty common to split the strategy (its maybe not fair for both but its the best for the team) its just really unfair if you do it like ferrari with kimi or if hamilton says he want to box they pit bottas because of that and then you stay out and push for an overcut
@@rpgrap6461 well what he did was justifiable , but in this case lewis himself told the team that he would never perform such a move in the team meeting before the race. Moreover he always keeps complaining and does not feel the same if he looses which is just a dickish move. Also if nico wanted he could take hamilton out of the race along with him by a crash and he would still win it , but he did not attempt it.....so class is something not everyone possess
The only guy who beat Hamilton to a championship on equal machinery, very overhated and underrated

Many have forgotten that he won 3 Monaco's in a row. His triple Monaco win was impressive, even though one was won through foul play.
Agreed man
En Vintervell Va Dorno yeah because Mercedes stole the victory from Lewis in 2015
"The podium has been 3 years coming"
-sad hulkenburg noises
Rosberg, Senna, Prost, Alonso and Button had the zing that some teammates just don't have to defeat their champion teammates despite having the same car. Bottas, Ervine, Barichello, Coulthard, Webber and Kovleinen are just a few examples of drivers that didn't.
If Niki Lauda takes of his hat for you, that’s when you‘ve done something special
Friendship between Hamilton and Rosberg
2008 vs 2015
Big difference
Yup, obviously two good friends sharing the joy there, great to see especially since I started paying attention to F1 right as those two really started battling hard.
VBshredder people don’t like it when they’re threatened by someone being better than them. Even if they are friends
Nico couldn't handle the pressure, lost his mind
@@southsideny You seem to have selective memory. It was Hamilton who got bitter at the prospect of someone potentially besting him. Even a year after he retired and it was all done, Nico graciously congratulated him. Lewis on the other hand, used it as an opportunity to takes shots at Nico and said, "I'm not just going to retire, unlike some".
@@shona5512 You came up with that fabrication and I'm the one with memory issues? Lol Stop it!
His title victory will always leave me in tears of joy "Nuppy we did it" the sacrifices, setbacks and pressure the man went through in all the years of his Formula 1 career to finally prove all the critics wrong will always ben an inspirational and monumental victory in F1. I hope Daniel Ricciardo does the same!
"Why doesn't Hamilton have more fans?"
12:50
Underrated. Overshadowed by Hamilton, but he proved his worth. Especially seeing how much Lewis has changed since.

Nico is massively overrated.
@@Lord_Lambert you mean Underrated right?
@@LipeGabriel925 nah he's a fangirl, you gonna find him under every comment which puts rosberg over Hamilton xD
Lord Lambert he was never properly rated during his career. Most saw him as an average driver who just had the best car
Say what you will about him, he actually challenged Hamilton. I'll take Rosberg over "Valtteri, it's James" anyday.

Won only because Hamilton got engine failure on Malysia when he was about to win.
@@Goldros And because of his 5-6 bad starts that year. Also, Rosberg was spun around on lap 1 so it's not like he was gifted a race win.
That whole "Valteri it's James" situation is why Mercedes and Hamilton will never receive the respect that teams like Ferrari get.
Doesn't matter how many championships they'll achieve, Senna, Prost, Lauda, those are names that defy F1, Hamilton will have statistics but he will not have the respect.
@@Goldros hey you know, if Niki Lauda didn’t have that accident at Nurburgring in 1976, he could have won the championship, if Ayrton Senna didn’t have reliability problems in the second half of 1993, he may have won the championship, if Michael Schumacher didn’t hit Damon Hill at the last race in 1994, Damon very well would have been champion, etc. coulda, shoulda, woulda, but didn’t. That’s what makes racing great, you can be the best driver, but there’s always multiple things that could happen that prevents you from winning.
Rosberg had 2 DNF’s to Lewis’s 1 and still won the championship. So get over that dumb excuse.
"Rosberg retired... Job done."
Enough to make a grown man cry.
Gotta admire him for retiring at his peak, in some ways it's better to do that than to see you slip down before you retire.
I think it was clear to him that the Mercedes team were always going to favourite Hamilton, and he knew that whilst he best him thst season, it took a monumental effort and rosberg realised that there's only so much you can do when a team is favouring your teammate.
Underrated driver
sbinnoto he is tho most people see him as a cheat and lucky driver when this video proves them wrong

@@SeanSmith88 "not an amazing overtake" Dude that was for the World championship, one wrong move and he would have lost it. The whole championship was on that overtake

I’m going to tell my kids about Nico Rosberg
Legend
True man
I'll be talking about Lord Maldonado 😉
What are you gonna tell them? How he finished 2nd every year bar 2016?
Two missing moments:
Canada 2014: both Mercs had failing power units and hot brakes. While Hamilton retired, Nico nursed his car to the end.
Abu Dhabi 2014: Nico wanting to take his failing car to the end, finishing, and then immediately going and congratulating Lewis.
Canadian GP was very memorable as they also had a quite few exciting battles before that happened.
I'd stick one of those in rather than Monaco '15, I respect Nico but Lewis wins that race if Merc don't cock up
I was looking for this. His team radio from Abu Dhabi: "I would like to go to the end!" Something in his voice showed determination and sheer mental strength.
The other thing that a lot of people missed was had it been Lewis’ car instead that failed, Nico would have won the championship.
@@theruley Mostly because of the silly "double points" thing for the last race. But yeah, all world Championships carry an element of luck.

@@kristupasjuska799 It seems that he's going to do it. Scuderia will see the rest of the 2020, so not sure anyways
Is it, really? During these last laps when Lewis was slowing Nico down into Vetel and Verstappen, he must have realized that Mercedes can't (or won't) control Lewis, and that he'd always get priority. It was an easy decision for him at that point, and I fully understand him.
It was also an unbearable situation: had they continued next year and Lewis won (which was much more likely, considering the treatment he was getting from the team), Nico would have to stay and listen to b.s. like how he wasn't actually as good as Lewis. By deciding to retire then and there, he'd be forced to listen what a coward he is and how he should defend. There really wasn't a good solution to this.
But I am ultimately glad for Nico and how things turned out. He did leave a mark in F1 and I wish him to have a great life together with his family.
It's pretty clear that Lewis had more natural talent and was overall a superior driver when he really tried. But in 2016 Nico clearly had better preparation and that year hard work and dedication triumphed over natural genius. Lewis, undoubtedly would lkhave come out hard against Nico the next year and Merc couldn't really do much about it. So, after achieving his lifelong dream, he decided to retire on a high than take the immense pressure of defending the title against a raging Hamilton and ending it in disappointment.
He looks young leonard de DiCaprio
Britney
I was thinking more the stereotypical bad guy from every 80s film ever, atleast before he joined Mercedes
He is very guapo.
I think like too, man. Same like leonardo di caprio
He is a German Leonardo DiCaprio
And Hulkenberg is a German Andrew Garfield.
11:36 the look of pure rivalry
12:46 this was heartbreaking. That was no way to treat a “friend”, nor a Mercedes teammate. Sir Lewis Ramilton 🐐 the goat is no team player.
You heard of Senna-Prost? The friendship was long dead and they were competitors before they were teammates, as it should be.
Big Hamilton fan but it was heart breaking to see that. Hamilton has come a long way now and is a much better sportsman but I think that toxic rivalry and friend turned rival messed up his head. That was plain bad and just the most unsportsman like behaviour I have ever witnessed. Huge hamilton fan again... Heartbreaking!
@@phantom.95 well he only is a better sportsman because he has won everything since then. let verstappen battle him in the same car, having a fight for the world championship and hamilton will be the same guy as he used to be against rosberg. but thats what makes him (one of) the best ever.
I'm no Hamilton fan but what he did makes sense hes trying to win a world title not a friendship award I'm sure every single world champion would do the same thats how they get to the level of being world champion
I am not even a Hamilton fan but he did absolutely what was required of him. The only way for him to win the championship was to finish first and have rosberg finish 4th or lower. This was his only chance and he decided to take it.
-Did you win the world championship?
Nico: Yes.
-What did it cost?
Nico: 4:46
Right in the feels
Good one.
That one hurt a bit more than it should have...
Hahaha no what it really cost was Lewis having 8 engine failures that year
@@HugoStiglitz88 is that glock?
Nobody says that Nico Rosberg isn´t legend
Work so so hard in Williams, make unpredictables podiums, fight in first position some races
Beat Schumacher in Mercedes, always was in high level, amazing battles with Hamilton for the title. DESERVE WORLD CHAMPION AND GENTLEMAN DRIVER
He was really a classy driver, if not the most. I almost cried when he announced his retirement after winning the championship
6891L lol I did cry when he announced his retirement
My favourite driver of the past decade for sure. The amount of hate I got for being a Rosberg fan back then.😂

Nico Rosberg will go down as one of the greatest. Retiring on the highest note in your career is such an incredible move. Just respect for this man. Nothing more Nothing less
I still have a feeling that that one world championship meant much more to Nico than any of the championships for Lewis
I doubt that. I like Nico more than I like Lewis and even I can admit, to come up like Lewis did and be a WC must have been amazing feeling. He grew up not white, not rich, and no father in F1 to teach him anything about the sport on that level. You know he was told he could not do it by some... He probably heard it all his life at every level. Nico has a F1 champ father. To him I bet it was expected in the back of his mind.
I completely get why he retired after one works champ. He proved he could do it, job done. I suspect Hamilton wants to prove he’s the best ever and that’sa much much longer slog. Hamilton’s multi world championships are the stepping stones to greatness so yah, I suspect Nico being happy with one WC probably does mean more to him because his ambition is less than Hamilton’s
@@hyperslow3810 that's why nicos job was harder. Lewis had the luck nobody expected him to become a great driver while Nico had to struggle with the expectations in the shadow of his father. And by the way: The way you are saying Lewis was never white is the real racism. Saying so is putting focus on skin color. What disadvantage dis Lewis have because he is not white? None. And that is what is has to be like. Instead of talking about skin color again and again and again we should live together in harmony without assuming racism in everything. Just like Morgan Freeman answers the question how to end racism: By not talking about it everytime.
@Cue you've competed against guys like Nico yeah sure you did kid. Out of curiosity was it in pokemon or something like that?
@Cue Exactly.
Had Nico been dominating instead of Hamilton, I am very sure he'd like to race again for more championships.
11th moment of Rosberg's brilliance : Starting a youtube channel
Was shit till recently tho, before he had persona of posh burned out life coach. His series on indepth driver pov on each track now is brilliant tho, he's actually doing something he was amazing at.
He is a legend in f1 history
As a relatively new F1 fan I seriously regret that I couldn't get to know this guy.
Me too🔥🔥🔥
I miss how he got under Hamilton's skin.
🍿
Same! You could visibly see just how much he got to Hamilton. Now Hamilton barely even seems phased for the most part. That Silverstone last lap record on old hard tyres was just insane.
We all do, but let's be honest, he was a pretty cool guy as well.
I think they both got under each others skin. It was interesting actually, they sometimes looked like they despised each other but they still have respect between them
Pretty sure it was the other way round most of the time
9:35 red bull pit crew changed tyres precisely but the fist bumps 😂😂
That smirk behind the hand from wolf man at 12:08
Clearly wanted lewis to win. Respect to Nico for not beating lewis but beating the team also. 👏
The last driver with big enough balls to take on Lewis and beat him fair and square.
Others had balls and talent too, but didn't have the car. Hamilton wouldn't win many WDCs if he wasn't in Mercedes.
@@cinegraphics what an idiotic comment. rosberg would have a world title if he wasnt in a Mercedes.
@@Fabbie4 you wanted to say "Rosberg wouldn't..." and not "Rosberg would..." right?
He is and will always be my idol. Even though he retired I really like watching his Videos.
Also he had some awesome battles out there
Do u think Hamilton and Nico will be friends when Hamilton retires
@@tatendasithole7913 Difficult to say but I really wish their relationship will improve. They were rivals but also true friends since their childhood.
Tatenda Sithole If Prost and Senna could after the former retired, you would hope so
His Carrera is probably over😱😂😂
So true 💖 Watching this make me realize how much I miss him at F1. But at the same time he seems more happy now after F1. So I am very happy for him as well☺️ And also very happy that we still get content of him😊 His vlogs are definitely really cool👌🏻
Red bull’s failed fistbump at 9:37 is the highlight of this video in my opinion
😂
Lol
Nico Rosberg would be always my man in The Formula World
Nico is such an underrated talent. In fact he is one of the modern father-son duo to have won the WDC in F1. The other one is Damon Hill. Kudos to winning WDC in Hamilton's winning spree of 7 WDC.
Nico Rosbeeg is one of the most underrated drivers. I think a lot of what he accomplished was missed either because of the poor performance of the early Merc or just how strong Hamilton was from 2014-2016.
Absolutely. And people seem to have already forgotten what an absolute beast Nico was in qualifying. I don't think there's been many other drivers out there that can match (and even beat!) Hamilton consistently like he did. Verstappen might be the only one at the moment.
@@glucosesyrup3427 not after the first half of 2018. I still support Vettel, but the fact is he didn't make it.
Nico is definitely one of my favorite drivers along with Kimi and Nigel Mansell. They may only have single championships, but they fought for it for a very long time until they finally achieved it.
Kimi in his prime was miles better than both.
It’s criminal that Mansell only has 1 championship. He fought such legends like Senna, Prost, Piquet constantly and come close to winning. Like Alonso, his number of WDCs don’t show his true talent.
Ciaron Smith You probably started watching f1 in 2018 after the internet hype of f1 and kimi and get your news from reddit.
@@cereal-killer4455 Its more criminal Raikkonen only has 1 in my view. He was just sublime From 2002-2007. Those 2003 and 2005 championships should have been Kimi's. Mansell was great too. But he made more mistakes than Kimi did in the races at their peaks.
@@cereal-killer4455 I've watched every season since 1981. Mansell was an iconic driver. But he made quite a few mistakes. Nigel was more charismatic than anyone though.
What a player. He will remain in our hearts now and forever 💚❤️
So many beautiful memories. Thank you Nico 😊
He really just said “aight imma head out”
smart move though
"It's three in a row for Nico!" damn that sound really good
A true champ . Respectful man ❤ he drove cool absorbing all that pressure 👌❤❤
Love this guy, such a great personality. Legend!
Man, winning the World Championship on the last race and having your wife there to share that with. Life and relationship goals: ACHIEVED
Phenomenal driver and a phantastic champion.
He achived his dream and retired at the top of his game
Some people say he was lucky, but every driver who wins the title needs luck of some sort. A better driver than most will give him credit for, and he seems happy with his lot. No grumbling about that
@@allthekingshorses7178 Every WC needs luck to win. It's called "Winner's luck" for a reason. Hamilton has had lucky moments, Germany 2018 was one when Sebastian barged in the wall and practically gifted the WDC to him
Goosebumps throughout the whole video 😭 true beauty of racing
absolute legend.....just loved him in the mercedes, true true champion....those 7 wins on the trot against hamilton is something few can do ....mad mad respect
When Bottas is told to give Lewis the position: "copy James"
When Lewis is told to go quicker: "I'm not really bothered"
I don't have a problem with Hamilton, Im just saying...
That's the reality of Hamilton ppl tend to forget.....
Great sportsman my ass!
Two completely different situations trying to compare them is just idiotic. You also forget when Hamilton let bottas back through.
@@mojoblues66 would you follow a team order that is basically instructing you to lose the world title on purpose?
Think about the last 3 seasons with him instead of bottas. What brilliant battles we would had
F1 Inside I doubt it. Rosberg was burned out after 2016.
Wouldnt have a merc no.2 thats for sure
But from Mercedes pov it would have been bad. Too much competition between the two driver.
Toto would be bald by this year if that's the case cuz of frustration😂
Nico, its James
Chosen scenes from 2016 Singapore gp is awesome!!Thanks so much to producers and who ever that was shooting the video.
The gentleman of the F1
Absolutely underrated, but my favourite Nico moment has to be "Britney's in the wall".

With 23 win and a world title. Nico retried Job done. Got goosebumps at that time 13:47
Great and heavily underrated driver. One of the best ever! I can not oversee how Toto and Niki always celebrated his victories just like the occasional think and always when Lewis took a victory they were more than ecstatic.
Brilliant driver AND a great personality. All the best from Norway.
Finally someone gives the man the respect he deserves
Strange, no explosions here
Stop say that he won only because of Hamilton's dnf. They had the same chance to broke engine and the previous years Rosberg had more issue than Hamilton but nobody say that hé didn't deserve is 2014 and 2015 title...
