Nico Rosberg....The Next Schumacher?
I've been away for a while so I don't know if this has been brought up lately, but let's look at Nico Rosberg.
The guy came from F3000, and like many F3000 guys, it was unsure about how well he would do in F1. Williams snapped him up and I expected him to struggle this season. But oh no.Rosberg is amazing, and easily one fo the best rookies I've seen in years. Honestly, I was flabbergasted by his speed and ability. As I understand he is signed to a long term Willaims contratc, and rightly so. Will he and Webber be the men who can bring Williams back up to the title again.
Nico Rosberg, as I thoguth before the season, would be a kid who only got the job becuase of his Dad, and therefore I was preprogrammed to hate him. He completely turned my opinion around, and now I can;t wait to see hm winning races. I haven;t bought and F1 Merchandise in 4 years, but I have preordered a Rosberg hat. I think what we have here is a kid we'll be seeing for a long, long time/

The simple answer is no. He is the new Nico.

I too am excited and am enjoying seeing him put in good performances, but also still seem quite green.

I really hope so, Nitendo. It would be wonderful to watch a new star rise in F1.

He has made a good initial impression. So far, that's it.
Let's see how he gets on as F1 moves back to Europe, to circuits he's more familiar with and see how he performs in relation to superman Mark Webber.

Well he is a very good driver and very exciting to watch.... but to say that he will be the next Michael Schumacher so early on in his career is premature

He won't be the Next Schumacher though. Only the next person to enter the sport with the surname Schumacher could reasonably lay claim to that.

Do we want him to be the next Schumacher?
I'll get back to you on that.

Jeez, you practically call everything godlike these days!
Really takes the shine off it, y'know.
Anyway, I'm glad he's doing just fine so early into the season already, just like I thought he would. °gloats°
Here's hoping he can continue this level of performance through the rest of the season, and perhaps even improve considerably! 
That would shut Webbo up for a while. 
(before anyone jumps me and flames me to hell, it's a JOKE!!)

There are quite a few drivers who had made noticable impacts in their first season but fail to be consistent. It's too early to say if he's as gifted as Michael

He certainly has impressed in the first couple of races. I'll judge him after this season, based on his performance against his more experienced teammate. But certainly.. looking good

Three races in and he has shown great potential.
He may not be the next Schumacher but he is the next Rosberg.
