2025年現在、F1を4連覇中であるレッドブルのマックス・フェルスタッペン。彼の走りを見た2016年王者のニコ・ロズベルグは「ドライバー・オブ・ザ・イヤー」だと称賛した。今シーズンはマクラーレン勢がアドバンテージを持っており、ここまでのレースでは8戦中6勝を記録。フェルスタッペンは気難しいマシンをなんとか走らせて、2勝を記録している。第9戦スペインGPのSky Sports F1の放送に解説者として登場したロズベルグは、今シーズンのフェルスタッペンの走りを称賛。まだタイトル争いのチャンスも残していると語った。「マックスはまだ上位に残っている。前回の通常のサーキットはイモラ（エミリア・ロマーニャGP）だったけど、そこで彼はレースを支配していた。とても、とても速かった」ロズベルグはそう語る。なおスペインGPの予選では、フェルスタッペンがマクラーレン勢の後ろ、3番グリッドを確保している。「彼は少し遅れてはいるけれど、まだ近いところにいる。それに（フリー走行では）チームがどれくらい燃料を搭載しているかも知りようがないからね。信じられないほど上手いドライビングをしている」...

元F1ドライバーのニコ・ロズベルグは、F1スペインGP初日に「このクルマはドライブできない」と無線で語ったルイス・ハミルトン（フェラーリ）の意見を支持した。 2016年のF1チャンピオンであり、メルセデス時代にハミルトンと激しくタイトルを争ったロズベルグ。それだけに彼のハミルトンに対するコメントは辛辣で、40歳を迎えたハミルトンが「年齡によって徐々にパフォーマンスが落ちている」と評している。一方で、ハミルトンは金曜日の走行中に無線で｢このマシンはドライブできないよ｣と不満を零していたが、ロズベルグはコースサイドから見ていてもそのマシンバランスの悪さが見て取れたという。ロズベルグは『Sky Sports』のF1中継でコースサイドにおり、マシンの挙動を間近に観察できる位置にいたのだ。 FP3の走行を前に、ロズベルグは金曜日のフェラーリについて次のように語った。「僕はコースサイドでルイスとシャルル（ルクレール）を見ていた。他のマシンに比べてアンダーステアが強く、スナップオーバーステアが強かった。さらにいろいろなことが起きていたよ」...
