00s
I'm a man. 50s and 60s
1967 era. All mechanical grip. 4 wheel drifting. Legendary
For me in the 2010s, cars not too fast and not too dangerous. And I'll get to share the grid with so many legends.
Mid 2000's! Fast and loud!
If a world champion repeats details multiple times, then it means it has significant importance. Nico has more knowledge than us about the tracks. So respect his knowledge.
The world champion that beated Ham in the same car, put that on a plaque
The world champion that beat 14 titles in the same car

Don't hold yourself down and speak what's on your mind. It's not everyday you get to hear a WDC fully explain a track. Official F1 media, while offering great entertainment, is technically awful.
Definitely True， it is our pleasure to have a great F1 champion to explain how to understand the race and game.
@@83cat Amen
If he dosn’t go super in depth and keeps doing them rushed like this it will completely ruin this for me..... I hope he goes back after seeing how much we want it the original way!!!
How insanely fortunate are we all that we can watch an F1 World Champion walk us through this, for free! Nico, you are a legend mate.

@HD4K Have you heard about SARCASM?
Wow, looks like sarcasm isn't common these days😂
I would drive the 2020 Ferrari, I wouldn't even be scared by the speed.
Congrats for the top comment😂
Hahhahahaha
How original
Yeah this time i admit this must be the top comment hahaha
Easy win 8)
Whoever told you that you were being too detailed must not be a true fan. Loved this video as always Nico, but please go back to being super in depth! Insights like this from legends like you are few and far between, give us as much as you feel comfortable! Oh, and for me it has to be the Brawn GP 2009 car, poetic stuff Edit: the truth hit so hard this comment was overlooked for top comment 😭
I 100% agree. We WANT details. We NEED details.
Yeah, why do negative comments always make the most impression? Nico, keep doing the super detailed videos.
100%. Otherwise it's a missed opportunity to learn from one of the best.
Agree! More is better.
The more, the merrier 😎🏎
I love how he instinctively braces his whole body through corners and braking because he knows what it actually feels like to drive on these tracks.
@Armando Sturzenegger The definition of instinct is "an innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in response to certain stimuli." In this case, the stimulus is braking in an F1 car, albeit in a sim racing game. But he has done it so many times in a a real life F1 car that he has a fixed pattern of behavior where he braces his entire body in response to the massive Gs his brain is expecting.
@@FXcheerios69 you literally said what he said lol. you just extended it out a bit for some reason
@@challengemasters775 He was clearly replying to someone who has deleted their comment in the mean time.
Watching videos like this you can fully see the difference. All his muscle memory from his f1 days coming back.
How dare people say you are talking too much? A FREE lesson from a F1 world champion. People really find a reason to complain about anything, don't they ..
Honestly I would love to hear more detail! Don't think your repeating yourself
No Doubt: Era: V10 Circuit: Silverstone Car: BMW Willams FW25
Car: Ferrari f2004
Track:Monza
I like how he prepares himself to suffer the Gs when going through corners.
Tbh i think it might be that he has load cell brake pedals and they require quite a lot of force to brake 100% depending how they’re set up
Year: 2022 Car: 2022 Ferrari Driver: Lord Raghunathan Circuit: Baku
Who ever said you talking to much is an idiot!! Your a freaking F1 world champion and the fact you are giving us all this information is KZhead Gold. I really am amazed at how well you can communicate the dynamics of the car and your race craft is very impressive. Dont change to the people who want you to skip through your own thoughts because they don't have the patience 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I would love to drive this years ferrari, as I’m sure the Williams rear wing would look great from my perspective
scuffed
Ouch hahaha
Savage
Stop! They're already dead!
To be honest, I want you to speak even more because these "track guides" are the best i have ever seen.
This guy looks like he knows what he is talking bout. He should try for f1.

It's Italy, so my car of choice has to be a Ferrari. And as for the era, the Ferrari from 2004, the Ferrari F2004 with it's V10. The sound, the insane speed and of course, the added feeling of driving a Schumacher car. The cheers of the Tifosi ringing in my ears.
My thoughts exactly!
Mine toooo
Barrichello won Monza GPs for Ferrari driving F2002 and F2004.
Nico still has the reflex of tensing up his whole body while breaking 6:28, even on the simulator where there are no g-forces at all haha
That's a great catch, I had to go back and watch it again.
I noticed that too!
@@paulru7894 of course. but i love to finally see how an f1 driver actually looks while driving the car. shows how hard of a job it is in reality.
We love the fact that you go into so much detail! Its amazing that youre so open in terms of sharing the wealth of knowledge that you possess! It really makes us respect and understand the intricacies that goes into driving an F1 car on these tracks at the highest of levels! Must respect Nico! Keep doing you!
After playing F1 since 2010, I finally switched to full manual with a wheel. Traction control still on though. And this was the track on which I practiced a lot on!
Nico should definitely collaborate with Codemasters for upcoming F1 games.
Yes
@@danielricciardo3449 So should you, now that you have more free time
Dang it! Who told him to talk faster!?!? I’d like you to take as much time, and be as informative, as you’d like, please, Nico! 😂 😆
Yeah I agree. I didn’t see anything wrong with last week’s video. Not there is anything wrong with this weeks either but whatever Nico is comfortable with is best.
Agreed
M8 just play the video at 0.75 or 0.5 playback speed
@@alisajadmohammadi749 I't s not about the speed, but the information. In the previous week he told more about historic etc.
Yeah as technical guy itself. I really see the passion when Nico explain some nuances in setup and driver approach.
Nico...It's an absolute privilege to have a driver like you...world champion...taking his time to explain in detail the lap around a circuit!!.feel free to take the time you think it is necessary to address to every detail you find important...we all have a lot to learn from you!! Thank you for sharing your kwonledge with us...
Nico you should do a series that called: my fastest laps. And in that series you will try to go faster than your fastest lap on every track on the calendar
Great analysis again, although I'm not sure who said that you were repeating, I loved how in-depth your other videos were. If I were to race in any era it would be the early nineties in the beautiful Mclaren mp4/4
Well it’s 1988, but I understand perfectly
Yeah seriously! Who told him to speed up the video? Personally I don't have anywhere to be in a rush so I'm happy to watch the full analysis! Hope he is willing to go back to full in-depth
Paul Syren whoops your right.
yeah, it's insane how good looking that Marlboro Mclaren is, the sound too.
That's what I'm saying. Here is one of the best drivers of his era taking time to make content like this. If it is "too detailed" just skip ahead.
I prefer you talking slower like spa, going through every little detail.
Maybe we should make you notes and send them to you during your races, 🤔
Same
@@deliriumbee4678 I don't race, but would like to see the notes too
I've just recently started driving race sims & normally fly DCS World(Combat Aircraft). I drove my first F1 car on Imola & I am hooked! I've watched you for years on the track & you teaching like this is amazing Nico....Thank you for taking the time to do this 07
Nico whoever told you that you are too detailed take that as a compliment don’t worry 99% of people love the detail.
90s Williams FW14B for sure
nice one!
I see what you did there
Smoothie tv please just dont
This man knows what's up. FW14B with the active suspension for sure.
Agree
I'd actually like more detail, not less. You're a master and I'm leaning a lot from these. Please keep them coming.
Being an f1 driver of nicos caliber is insane. Can’t imagine what Hamilton thinks when going through laps
Thank you, Nico! I was hoping that you would do one of these for the Monza circuit. Much appreciated!! FWIW... I think it’s a very good teaching technique to provide repetition to the aspects of racing that you consider important. 👍
I would like to drive the Mercedes 2016 , because it would be fun being nico's team mate 😁
I would drive the 2004 Ferrari the sound and speed it just incredible.
Ohhh that V10 🥰
2020 mercedes is faster lol
MrRousina Mercedes is boring
Hey,I’m just getting into racing games and was struggling with Monza because I messed up the conners and spin out of control and after watching this video, I have improved my lap time so thanks man
I agree with Joe Hayward. I love listening to what you talk about and the comparison of what it was like IRL. I know it's hard to please all the people all the time but you're knowledge and talent shines through with in-depth commentary. Love what you do. Hope dad is well, he's a good man.
This lap is faster than the one Ferrari will do in Q1
Razvan Turc Don’t worry, they will be faster in Q2 and Q3. Oh wait...

Renault R25 of Fernando Alonso in 2005. The V10!
The video was maybe bit too fast for this slow Finn. Maybe the compromise between two of the videos might be the key!
I would drive the 1986 Lotus 98T... there's something about those 80s turbocharged f1s that just blows my mind the sound and the intensity you were always driving at the absolute limit both physically and mentally
Amazing explain in the final section of the video, thanks Nico!
2004 Ferrari, because the top speed at the straights must be breathtaking.
just 350-360kph same speed they achieve now even with though they need a tow for that, but same
@@CloodyTube And 2004 SF would be even faster with tow too... But you can't compare the feeling of an V12 to an V6 hybrid.
@@trockeneiscreme7713 if I'm not wrong back then the engine was hitting rev limit without a slipstream so that was about it, wouldn't have advantage with a slipstream just hitting rev limit faster I guess

Brake early and you will be fine, not that much fast tho

It just blows my mind that we have a freaking F1 World Champion giving us the goods like this on KZhead. Many thanks, Nico!
Nico, don't listen to the folks here complaining of too much detail. I come here just to watch your insight on every inch of asphalt on each track. Give us all you've got!
I find these videos really helpful, especially the braking zones and what gear you should be in, Although could you go through the track a bit slower so it's easier to absorb the information. These tips helped me a lot in the F1 video game. Thanks Nico.
I agree these videos are really helpful, but it would be easier to take in the information if he slowed down a bit, but overall these videos are brilliant.

Did you see Spa last week? It's incredible!
@@icantsurf89 if that's the first time you watched the race at spa, it wasn't a good first impression. The race was kinda boring
@@gijswiersema Yeah the race was boring but the track is awesome.
@@icantsurf89 I agree, by far my favorite
icantsurf89 I did! And today’s race was easily the best if the year. So much going on and finally a fresh top 3.
Thx Nico. Really appreciate the teaching from a true master! It would be even better if you can compare your style vs. past teammates and show us where the time difference is in each phase of the corner🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like the very detailed videos about the track, like before. The more details the better 😃
2019 Williams. must feel amazing
BlazingFermiteYT, original joke haven’t heard that one before
Not as much as 2020 Ferrari
Would love to see the analysis as you were doing before... as in depth as possible!!! We, as fans and sim racers, can never get enough info and tips from someone like you. Keep it up!
I would really like to race in the early 60s with Team Lotus alongside Jim Clark, to feel the real passion for racing back then. +1 If you want back Nico's detailed analysis
I would like to drive in Micheal Schumacher’s time in Ferrari, because I would love to go in that team and develop it to it’s 2019 glory!
50 years to the day since Jochen Rindt crashed and died at Monza he won the F1 world championship that year posthumously R.I.P
Dude’s a legend. There were 4 races left that season and yet nobody matched his score. F
I really appreciate the long videos and all of the detail.
I would like to go back to 01 'since at that time was when JPM came to F1, that is how many Colombians started with F1, since before those years we had gone through very bad things, and JPM gave us many joys, already JPM is not there, but F1 is rooted in us. The fights against Schumacher are still in my memory :D
5:40 that muscle memory bounce is hilarious hahahaha Must be weird to you to drive in a sim with zero G's
Has to be the mid 80s to the mid 90s. Nigel Mansell, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, Ayrton Senna, just to name a few. Possibly the most exciting time in Formula 1. I remember being glued to the television watching with my Dad. Made me a life long fan.
Very clean explanation.Such a understandable.Thank you soo much!!
Need more content like this love watching you drive again
Without a doubt I would love to have a go at the MP4-20. Kimi's flying laps at Monza are one of the videos that I keep watching from time to time, the sound is simply incredible.
I would probably choose the 2007 McLaren F1 because that was the first year I really started to watch F1.
You mean McLaren
That was a good year.
The MP4-22 was a brilliant car with it's 2.4L V8
I love these videos so much they help a lot within the f1 game for me thanks nico
I'd love to drive in the 1990s, early 90s specifically. racing against mansell in 92 would be just a fever dream. and the V12s are just ughhhhhhhhh i love em'
For me would be the first wining car in the 50s, just imagine driving the first wining formula 1 car. What a dream
I would drive the 2019 Ferrari SF90 because it had so much power and it would have been incredible to drive at tracks like Monza and Spa.
Your voice is very pleasing Nico... I am learning about f1 but its more like I love hearing you...
You are cool, man. Not many world champion who kind enough give us real lesson in f1 racing. What an insight! Bless u 👍
Early 50s to go up up against "El Maestro" Juan Manuel Fangio...the greatest to ever do it so would be an honour to share a track with him in that beautiful Alfa in 51'
The era would have to be the 70’s, driving the Brabham F1 BT46B. It would bring some much needed “fans” to the track these days.
Couldn’t agree more !!
🙌🙌🙌
👏🏻
I recently bought f1 2020 and i play a lot with my dad. Monza is our favorite track and i cant wait to show him this!
best description of how the open and locked diff worked, i finally understand lol. would be great to see a video explaining the other options such as brake bias and when to change, suspension, anti roll especially i dont know when and how much i need. been playing f1 for years you would think i would have a handle on all this stuff by now but nope! :) never been able to setup a car from scratch i just dont know how some of these changes translate to handling/performance. that would be another great video,, setting a car up from scratch going through all the options with us. im sure whatever you put out will be awesome keep it up and thanks for the great content.
I'd want the 2019 Williams, draggy car. Good for your neck too!
Same thing with the 2020 Ferrari aswell lol
@@sydneysamogudo8507 more like terrible engine,I don't think it's a draggy car at all
@@devdasshenoy8219 fair point
If I was an f1 driver I would choose the 80s, 'cause I would love to see and even being lapped by such legendary drivers like prost, senna, mansell, piquet amd lauda, as well as meeting enzo ferrari one time, just to talk to him, therefore I would choose the 1986 championship to drive in, maybe with estoril being my first race, just to be able to see the 4 champions pose for that picture!
Please don't cut your analysis short nico! I loved the longer suuuper detailed videos. So interesting to see how much harder f1 is than it looks! The longer and more detailed the video the better!
Holy crap thank you, been practicing for two months on fm6 and best time was about 1.26.5 and now that i watched this video under a week i shaved more than two seconds off. Thank you Nico, personal best on fm6: 1.23.972
Era : V12s Circuit : Monza Car: Ferrari 412 t2. If you know how that car sounds like you wouldn't blame me. (I would also like to drive the f2004 from v10 era on the same track eh)
I'd love to try the Brawn GP 001. Such a competitive year and I love the underdog story. Plus last year of refuling, so tons of strategy
Great work Nico, very useful for us laymen
Nico, the more details the better, say everything you want to say because every detail is extremely interesting . Great videos, keep it up 💪
If I were an F1 driver I would’ve like to drive in the 2004-2014 era with the V6 engines and with 22 or 23 competitors. Also because you could add some fuel in the pit stops, and that was so exciting. But I would love to drive in the 2013 Red Bull, it was so dominant and always perfomed well.
If I was an F1 Driver, I'd definitely want to be in an MP4/4. Steve Nichols car, beautiful V6 turbo engine, Senna-Prost-Piquet-Mansell era.Just imagine
I was thinking why don’t the FIA use THAT V6 engine instead of the Hybrid V6. Carbon footprint shouldn’t be too bad and sound should be way better
@@eliasteng933unfortunately not near as efficient and clean as the hybrid turbocharged V6 😔

Thanks For share experiences Nico keep it up my friend
I would have liked to be Charles Leclerc 2019 Ferrari winning at Monza. That race was absolutely one the greatest and will remain one of the greatest in F1 history. It is Charles second season in F1 and has had a very good start but also some tough moments. Earlier in his career, he has had tough moments losing his Godfather and his father. The same day he loses his father he goes out winning the race. The year before he was driving for Sauber/ Alfa Romeo and was proving he was strong compare to Eriksson but also some tough moments like the DNF at his home Grand Prix in Monaco. Being promoted from Alfa Romeo to Ferrari after his first season in F1 as one of Ferraris youngest ever drivers ever and becoming teammate with one of the greatest Sebastian Vettel. At Spa the race before Monza one of his best friends Anthoine Hubert dies in F2 and Charles wins the race at Spa. The next weekend at Monza he pretty much does perfectly from Saturday to Sunday. Having Bottas, and Lewis Hamiton the decades best driver pushing Charles from the beginning of the start all the way to the end. Charles is 21 years old winning that race walking out on that podium and the first win for Ferrari at Monza for 7 years if I'm not wrong, aah that moment was like a movie. In the 2019 season, he had the most pole positions and has proven many times in his career that he is mentally strong. I think Charles can become one of the greatest if not the greatest in F1 history in a couple of years. I really hope Ferrari sorts out their problems and that the choice of Ferrari signing a couple of years isn't his career killer. :)
This years F1 has been so boring without Ferrari and Leclerc challenging the Mercs...I mean, I still watch but I don't care.
I would have liked to race with the 1978 Lotus 79, the king of ground effect. The Codsworth v8 sound was amazing and it was very fast also in the corners, thanks to the down force.
It's amazing when he brakes he tense his body like irl
Thank you mr Rosberg for sharing your experience about Monza. It is really interesting and entertaining to watch! Keep it Up. 👍🏻

So lucky to have Nico around. I watched F1 in TV and they hosted former pro driver who was not able to answer question "What is difference between blistering and graining of tyres?" I was so ashamed. I wish there are more Q and A about technical aspect of car, setting up/adjusting the car during the race, like Nico answered about diff setting in curves. So Great, I would love to see you back in the F1 hot seat!!!
I truly feel like being personally coached by Nico here, now I'm 2s faster at Monza!! 😁 Thank you coach Nico, such a great content 👍🏻
Who can't say the 2020 Mercedes? That thing looks so perfect to drive. I don't think you could ask for a nicer car.
I would love to race the Ferrari’s of 2001 with its original livery. With Mika & Michael. Back in 2001 Ferrari had no livery at Monza & a black nose due to the Sept 11th WTC attack.
It would be the 90s because I would get to race in some iconic cars like the 1992 fw15 or the Benetton B195 just to name a few. Not only that but I would get to race against some of the most LEGENDARY drivers like Senna, Prost, Schumacher and Mansel to name a few.
As an italian that lived 10 years beside monza ik the track very well ive been there many times and rosberg is very good at the track not perfect but very good
