Nico is just a total tool. Great driver, not so great human.

Met him briefly once, can’t say I disagree.

Met him as well, I must say I had a different experience. It was however when he was still at Williams.

Went to Budapest for the F1 weekend and saw him walking down the Main Street while drinking something with a buddy. Got up and approached him. He was super friendly and we had a talk for about 10 minutes after which his bodyguard took a picture of us together. I wished him all the best and a competitive car for the future.

I must say he was a champ on a human level that night. Maybe I caught him on a good day, maybe you caught him on a bad day, maybe he still hasn’t gotten over his rivalry with HAM and the stress that came with it.

Who knows. Could have been all of the above. Nicest drivers I’ve met though would be Yuki or Danny Ric. Rooting hard for both of them to get out of the AT shitbox.

I was in my university’s automotive engineering club, and I don’t want to say much more other than I live close to an F1 track. Merc let us look at their car, and the drivers were in the garages at the time. Lewis was nice enough, took some photos, signed some stuff. Nico just couldn’t be arsed to even care that we existed, and actively told a classmate to fuck off.

I’m just happy that I really have been subjected to him since he admitted to pissing in his car pre-race.

There are plenty of valid reasons to dislike rosberg, but a lot of drivers have admitted to that. It’s not that big a deal, in the heat of the cockpit it evaporates if it isn’t absorbed by the race suit.

Yeah, but it was pre-race. He just wanted to sit in his piss like Ted Cruz.

That’s a nah from me dawg.

Not the first nor last time Nico Rosberg is guilty of being a total ass.

I didn’t realize he didn’t like being called Britney. You’d think like any other adult he’d have learned by now to own it and thrive.
