Nico Rosberg's onboard lap in the Mercedes-Benz W196 at Nürburgring Nordschleife [with radio]

00:09 (Nico) I can hear you, I can hear you

01:02 (Nico) It is an amazing feeling to drive on this historic track with these race cars. It is so, so cool to drive these cars, it feels like go karts.

01:22 (Lewis) So, great power hey Nico?

01:23 (Nico) Yeah there is really quite good power!

01:26 (Lewis) They didn't even have barriers when they were racing (laughs) They just had trees

01:32 (Nico) Yeah for sure there are no barriers and trees all over the place! Can you imagine that, in the pouring down rain, flat out in these cars, no barriers... Unreal!

01:44 (Lewis) They must have been smoking something!

01:47 (Nico) Really great experience...

01:48 (Lewis) What side is your brake on man?

01:50 (Nico) What's wrong with my brakes?

01:52 (Lewis) My brake is on the right side so it is so easy to forget it is there!

01:58 (Nico) It is such a strange driving position, I'm completely spread-eagled here with the clutch all the way on the left, it's so strange

02:07 (Lewis) Mine doesn't want to change gear!

02:11 (Nico) No no you just stay in 2nd gear all the time alright?

02:13 (Lewis) Yeah it's like, it starts cracking big time if I try to change gear.

02:19 (Nico) Ok are you ready?! We're going to race now for the next 5 corners OK? The last over there... sucks! 3...2...1.... GO!

02:37 (Nico) Yeah I mean I cannot believe they used to drive in these things, flat out around this track. I mean the safety is absolutely zero!

03:15 (Nico) Woah amazing!!!

03:41 (Lewis) You guys need to speed up man

03:50 (Lewis) Pretty well! Obviously not as good as my current car but it is pretty cool still!

03:58 (Nico) Yeah it is really pretty fascinating...

04:03 (Nico) OK, let's check whose car has got more top speed!

04:40 (Lewis) Hey man! The gearbox is terrible!

04:45 (Nico) Yeah?

04:49 (Lewis) Yeah! I can never get it in gears! (makes noises)

04:55 (Nico) But unreal no?

04:57 (Lewis) Yeah... Yours looks safer than mine!

05:01 (Nico) Looks what?

05:02 (Lewis) Yours is safer than my one

05:05 (Nico) Not by much!

05:05 (Lewis) You have this (shows the side of the car) up here

05:06 (Nico) Not by much!!

05:08 (Lewis) I was going like this around the corners... But they were literally like this around some of the corners!
