"i dunno, i, maybe its i just like to drive yknow and its because me and the team we like to win and....there is no water here. can i get some water. can i get some water now"
nico and lewis has to get through their sport rivalry and try , at least, to clarify and make peace. i mean, look at nico when it started to talk about the friendship they use to have when they were 14...his eyes are wet. I think every f1 fan will be super pleased to watch them hug each other
This guy proved that Lewis Hamilton is not the "legend" the media makes him out to be, and I honestly believe that he would have won again in 2017. Yea I said it! He beat Lewis in the same car..
He's a way better driver than he was ever given credit for (at least from the internet bottom feeding F1 'fans'). All you need to do is look at how Bottas performs next to Hamilton to know that Nico is a far above average driver and a deserving champion.
Tbh, Nico said that he was absolutely drained after the season and couldn't remember some things. The mind games he had to play on lewis.. But he won the championship. Also I wouldn't speak shit of Hamilton because that guy got a podium in his first race, has the most grand slams, has won championships in two teams AND has 4 world championships to his name.
I know this is too late for me to remark but, in this day and age if you can't stop coughing you should just leave the room! It's so incredibly disappointing to hear this constant coughing in the background! Nico is being very gracious but I know he noticed it (champions do not miss details in the environment). Irresponsible ....so disappointing. Nico absolutely deserves more respect. Zero class points to the offending party.
No disrespect to Nico, but I honestly feel like it is Sebastian Vettel who should have talked about things F1 in front of those smart Oxford people. At times I felt Nico was trying too hard to impress and did not bring much to the table. I think of the current F1 drivers, if the FIA want someone to blow people's mind with intelligent conversation, witty sense of humour, someone to tickle people's imagination, to bring F1 to the people and explain it - that person has to be Vettel. He is super smart, very articulate and just a great driver. He ticks all the boxes. Heck, he speaks and expresses himself in English better than any F1 driver, past or present!
Get the brightest youths in the world, hand them a mike..boom, well phrased interesting inquires. If only more 5 year olds around the globe, were encourage, loved & always listened to, oh my, the world would bloom 12 months per year & no crooked Trumps etc would find a platform.
Waiting for snobbish non members of the Oxford University being outraged about non academic people who aren't considered as sophisticated enough to speak in this prestigious university hall
A pair of socks would have been nice. How strange. If i went for a job interview like that i wouldn't stand a chance. Quite strange and obviously eccentric. A privileged background for sure gave Nico confidence, a head start, and a kind of detached reality from the norm.
Yeah Bottas can't even give Lewis a run for his money in the same car but yet there's better drivers than Nico out there? Vettel won 4 championships in an era where there was more competitive cars , put him in a Mercedes and we'll see if Lewis has it easy again for a championship
This is one of the most boring, uninteresting speakers Oxford has had. I normally love them as the speakers always seem to offer a little more insight into their minds, lives and perspectives on the world; Nico offers none of that. He has no anecdotes and everything is broadly described without having an opinion or siding with anything. The questions were fine but he just answered them like they were the press; no energy or enthusiasm to get anyone interested. If he was supposed to be one of F1's more intelligent brightest sparks he failed miserably.
