I'm sure Danny Ric would enjoy saucing up and watching midget wrestling at Fred's, no?

We need to make a push for him to come to a LSU tailgate before COTA next year.

Get that damn Longhorn gear off him


The F1 schedule actually lines up where he'd have no race the weekend of LSU/Bama.

It was funny to see him go through the collection. “I’ve driven that one. I’d like to drive that one but I don’t fit in it.” Lol


That was awesome. I love how he has some of the most iconic race cars and he actually takes most of them for a spin too. Feels like so many uber rich collectors just let those things sit for years/decades. Where’s the fun in that? An icon isn’t gonna lose a penny of value if you put a few more hours on it every so often.

Wow. It was rumored he was speaking with Alpine, but I didn't expect them to have a new team principle that soon.


Also, Lewis sold his Pagani ZondaLH for a pretty penny.

Twitter rumor BWT wont return as major sponsor to Aston Martin... who knows if that's true

I know they havent been happy with Aston's green livery and have said so publically

Otmar probably got tired towing the company lines handed to him by Daddy Stroll. Otmar did pretty well with Force India. Maybe the Alpine rumors are true? All part of El Plan?

For some reason I thought Stroll owned or had owned part of BWT, but I guess that isnt true.

It was only a matter of time after they brought in Whitmarsh. Can’t imagine having to suck up to the Strolls…

Hopefully he ends up at Alpine so Rossi can actually be a CEO instead of a weird hybrid TP.

Just my opinion for 2022 thread, OP should start with the new rules and aero changes...then followed by car reveals/drivers for each team

It would take a little planning and time but would be a good primer for newbies



Would be for this, 100%… This is the first post I’ve ever made in an F1 thread.

I’m in quarantine and just randomly started watching S3. Now I’m interested.

Welcome!

That's pretty much the plan. When the time comes, I'll do something similar to this year's thread: driver changes, teams, livery reveals and rules changes. Then I'll follow that up with a "new to F1" post.

Pretty good documentaries on Peacock right now if you need a fix.

Right, but he also owns like 20% of Aston Martin as well as the F1 team. I just thought he owned BWT for some reason and it just seemed funny that BWT was mad at Aston Martin being green. Was thinking the dude was mad at himself, but he doesnt own BWT. Dont know why I thought that though.

Give it to me.

I wasn’t totally blind to F1, just never paid attention to it. Watched a little of the COTA race and was blown away with the coverage, but was pretty much lost otherwise.

Suppose I’m a Danny Ricardo fan. Seems personable, Dale Earnhardt fan, and the American accent interview he did was hilarious.



eta: will definitely check out the Peacock docs. Looks like a good history lesson for a new fan.
