Nico Rosberg won the 2016 F1 world championship after a fraught title battle with Lewis Hamilton.

Despite being hindered by injury, Herbert won three grands prix – including a famous home victory at Silverstone in 1995 – having won the Le Mans 24 Hours outright with Mazda in 1991. Johnny Herbert’s F1 career began in 1989, the year after a crash in a Formula 3000 race at Brands Hatch had left him with permanent mobility issues that forced him to adapt his driving style.

Prior to F1 he raced in British F3, GP2, A1 Grand Prix and various other series, and has since competed in Formula E, the World Endurance Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours.Ĭhandhok has worked as a pitlane reporter for the BBC and Channel 4, moving to Sky Sports F1 in 2020. Karun Chandhok has developed a reputation as one of the most well-respected analysts working in F1, deriving his expertise from a varied racing career that included 11 grand prix starts in F1 between 20. Prior to that Croft had commentated on F1 races for BBC Radio 5 Live, and he has spent the best part of two decades commentating on darts, firstly for the BBC and more recently for Sky. David Croftĭavid Croft – often referred to as ‘Crofty’ – is Sky Sports F1’s lead commentator, having held the position since Sky began broadcasting F1 in 2012. In that time only two grands prix have not been presented by Lazenby, with Natalie Pinkham leading coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix in 2020 and Rachel Brookes taking charge of the Russian Grand Prix a few weeks later.

He did seem quite pissed off though, it seems to be because he felt Lewis robbed him of the opportunity in winning the race.

Nico's stance and line of answering would lead one to think although he accepts the decision, inside he may have a different view that he doesn't want to share and it was this vibe that Rachel seemed to be working off, in trying to eek out a more open and personable statement from Nico, I think, for whatever reason.

You often hear drivers say "I accept the stewards' decision" (but personally they might disagree with it, without actually saying so). Like a lawyer questioning a defendant/plaintiff.

Nah, it was probing questioning and answering.
