Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg closely watched the performances of the 2020 Grand Prix drivers. The 23 GP winner says which drivers impressed him the most.
November 27, 2016 – With second place behind Lewis Hamilton in the World Cup final in Abu Dhabi, Nico Rosberg secured the greatest success of his racing career: he became a Formula 1 world champion. later he announced his resignation. In the age of the premier class turbo hybrid, he is the only driver who could prevent Lewis Hamilton from winning seven titles in a row.
December 13, 2020: The Corona shortened Formula 1 season has come to an end, Max Verstappen has won the final at the Yas Marina Circuit, ahead of Mercedes drivers Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton. For Rosberg, a 23-time GP winner, the reason is to look in the rearview mirror a bit and explain which drivers impressed him most in 2020.
The Wiesbadener says on his own YouTube channel: “Of course, Lewis Hamilton is my number 1. Anyone who drives at the highest level year after year after year and has now also broken all these records is simply the best man.”
Rosberg continues: “My number 2 is Max Verstappen. I think Lewis and Max are in a league of their own. I see how Verstappen gets the most out of his race car in every race, the Dutchman really does an extremely impressive job. “
«In number 3 of the year I had a bit more difficult. I see Charles Leclerc and Daniel Ricciardo at eye level. But in the end I choose the Monegasque because it made Ferrari look so much better. I was also very impressed with the way he left Sebastian Vettel, and we are talking about one of the most successful Formula 1 drivers of all time. Leclerc is an incredible talent. “
«My number 4 is therefore Daniel Ricciardo. I think the Australian has had a very good season. It is also true for him that he has made more use of his possibilities than the car should allow. “
«For me, the fifth strongest driver of the 2020 World Cup season is Frenchman Pierre Gasly, and not just because of his victory at Monza. He has improved again and is usually there when there is something to achieve. “
