Rosberg joined the Sky F1 team in 2018 and had participated in pre-race coverage alongside Karun Chandhok and Anthony Davidson. As a result, he moved to the comment section later in 2020.

However, the recently concluded Hungarian Grand Prix was definitely the groundbreaking racing weekend for Rosberg. How could you ask?

Well, it was the first time the Mercedes F1 champion commented on a race at the Hungaroring and it was extraordinary. The fans also apparently enjoyed his comment. And much more required the German to stay with David Croft for the rest of the season. Well, amid such desires, there is finally good news.

When will Nico Rosberg return to commentary?

Rosberg isn’t going anywhere and will be commenting again in weeks. Rosberg will not be available for the Belgian Grand Prix, but has agreed to comment on the race in Zandvoort.

One of his fans commented on social media and appreciated Rosberg’s interesting comment trail during the Hungarian Grand Prix. Rosberg replied: “Thank you! Next up: Zandvoort !! ”

Since 2020, Rosberg has often made cameo appearances in the comment box alongside Alex Jacques, David Croft and many others. But the German usually limited himself to commenting on the training sessions and leaving the rest to Croft, Martin Brundle and Ted Kravitz.

Dutch Grand Prix – Drama on Cards?

Definitely! This season, Zandvoort will host a race for the first time since 1985, which was a long time ago. And of course, the entire stadium will likely be surrounded by orange to support their local hero Max Verstappen.

However, there are already requests from the Grand Prix boss asking fans to respect Lewis Hamilton. How will reality develop?

Well, despite the GP director’s demands, Hamilton is likely to experience a lot of hatred, which was quite the case after qualifying in Hungary last weekend.

Only in this case will Zandvoort not only have partial Dutch fans, but potentially hold over 90% of the Dutch fans. Will Rosberg be happy to comment on the racing weekend in the Netherlands at such a dramatic racing weekend?
