    What's a world champ do when he retires? He meets fans and delivers their cars, that's what!

    Enjoy

    That's cool, but I think Schmee is Nico's videographer for his vlog, not just a random Merc customer.

    Uh, Shmee ordered his GTR a long time ago. I'm sure they set this up a bit, but Nico has been a YouTuber for a little bit now.

    He showed up on Alejandro's vlog a few months ago.



    As well as Jon Olson's vlog

    I watched a couple of Nico's vlogs and he talks to Schmee and says he's the one that does the videos for him. I think it was the one in Monaco where he goes yachting in the day, then flies out to a party with Keke's team, and then to a Mercedes party.

    Nico seems really friendly, approachable and down to earth. I love how he's into classic cars. He's just like his old team mate, Lewis, in all those respects.

    He does seem very friendly, and genuine. I like Ham, but don't think his friendliness is genuine like Nico.

    I did some research, and Shmee may be Nico's videographer, but that may be a hobby of his. It seems he made his money via investments, and now has his own vlog about "living the life".

    Nico has started his own youtube channel, which has some cool stuff on it, and is a much more engaging person, as he's humble. He comes across as an enthusiast, someone who isn't up his own ass, and is articulate and friendly. To spend time with someone running in his car, and tracking it to show him what it can do, is a really cool thing to do, I'm sure he could fill his time easily with stuff to puff up his image by showing off planes or cars or whatever, but he is certainly more than that.

    If I was him, I'm not sure I could sit there in traffic while someone keeps it below 4000 revs or whatever, but he did, and he made some really sensible comments about all sorts, from f1 to electric cars.

    I can't imagine elton doing anything even half as humble, nor being so genuine as Nico. That's the difference and that's why no one likes the bloke, elton is false and full of himself. Maybe he has good reason to some of us to be like that, but that doesn't make him likeable, and detracts from his achievements. A little more respect for genuine fans, and for his peers, wouldn't go amiss.

    I think it says it all when, just after the race last week, Nico published a vlog congratulating elton on his championship, and elton on the other hand simply used a press conference to have yet another attempt at diminishing Nico's triumph over him last year......

    Sorry but I had to turn it off after "Hello guys, I am Shmee...."
    How can one look at this guy for more than 5 seconds??? The only thing that is about as bad is "seen through glass"....

    Yeah, Schmee is a shmuck, but nico being there was my point!, the guy is a genuine nice chap. He’s done other stuff than this, but I just found this easy to repost from the Aussie section!

    Claims youtube money but I know how much he actually earned and it's not near enough to pay for all the cars, the west london apartment with all the garage space, the trips etc. Enough to have a nice living and perhaps a Cayman on finance but that's really it.

    Dad's money.

    That voice :eek:

    Figured it was family money. Most of these young guys with nice cars on Youtube are the same way, yet they always have some BS story about how they're self made. I once watched him picking up a new 675LT in MSO "Cerulean Blue" and he kept repeating Cerulean blue with that voice/lisp and it was just comical
