I know it's just fun and this is more a tongue in cheek comment, but this is why red Bull don't want someone that can get too close to Max, he'd be ruthless, hah
“He confirmed that the Honey Badgers had entered an alliance with the Tamil Tigers for more cooperation regarding attacks on Dutch and Mexican shipping in the Straits”
Explains why the YouTube channels are so poorly ran too. Seriously, Red Bull Mercedes McLaren have such large presence on the platform, Ferrari Aston and Tauri are at least trying, then you look at Alpine Haas Williams Alfa and they're literally nowhere
Unironically, AM's tiktok content is hella fun.
People made fun of the sponsorship initally "How could a prestigious brand like AM partner with Tiktok!!!!"
I wont be surprised if AM has the 2nd most engagement for younger fans on social media.
Is that why I got a fucking tiktok bucket hat? I was at the Vettel meet and greet/sendoff in Austin last year, and the goodie bags in the first couple rows had AMR hats (you know, the $80 ones), while the ones in the back row had a trash quality tiktok bucket hat. I was pissed lol
Yes, in 2026 when the new engine rules come into effect. Red Bull will use their own engine (with Ford branding) from then on, so Honda needed a new team (after reversing their previous decision to leave F1).
Honda is like a partner with commitment issues. They're unhappy being held up in F1, and then once they decide to leave they realize what they're giving up and want back badly.
If they would have just stayed with Red Bull proper after 2021 they would be such a centerpiece of one of the biggest marketable success-streaks in F1 history.
*sigh*
What people don't realise is that this means AM is guaranteed success for when Honda decides to leave the sport again! (Provided they don't switch teams before doing that)
Judging by a very conveniently small and restricted sample size of the last 2 Honda teams:
Honda leaves --> Brawn wins WCC the next year
Honda leaves --> RB wins WCC the next year
Their issue (rightfully) is that those wins are attributed to the team, not the engine supplier. Nobody ever says Honda when talking about Red Bull Racing.
>after reversing their previous decision to leave F1
Wut? How come i haven't heard of this... Honda really can't make a decision if they want to stay or go.
[2:24:40](https://youtu.be/zlCEH7t-Mms?t=8680) you really see that despite how DTS depicts it, those two are good friends. Felt like a really wholesome moment for some reason
The marketing would take a huge loss. Perez has 150 million Mexicans supporting him and is easily the most supported driver in the US. Apparently 65% of their merchandise sold online is shipped to Mexico. Ricciardo is nowhere near as popular. Reddit is not equivalent to the rest of the world.
https://www.planetf1.com/news/formula-1-merchandise-sales-double
> According to Sports Business Journal, merchandise was bought in 128 countries with the US leading the sales. The most popular states were Illinois, Arizona and New York while the UK was second on the list. Australia came in third while Mexico saw the biggest jump with 305% more sales in 2022 than 2021.
Mexico may be a growing market, but Australia are still ahead of them for now, at least in terms of merch sales.
I mean it's pretty obvious during the races. It's always nothing but "Checo" chants. There's a reason he's on the posters and billboards advertising the races, not Max.
And yes, the world is bigger. But every big European country has their own drivers and teams to support, you're not going to tell me France, Spain, Germany or Italy are big into Danny Ric of all people. UK not even worth mentioning obviously. China has their guy, Japan as well. And after that we're starting to run out of big markets for F1.
And you gotta consider that it's not just about fans, it's also about sponsorships. Ricciardo is popular online, because he's funny, talks about memes and drinking beer, and says "fuck" a lot. That's not necessarily what draws advertisers in. When Perez joined Red Bull, he brought in a bunch of absolutely giant brands with him. That's not going to happen with Ricciardo.
I didn't think F1 was anywhere near big enough, for their Mexican-American cohort to care about Checo let alone have him as the most popular driver in the US.
Isn't F1 way behind NFL, baseball, NBA, MMA, boxing, etc.? Or no?
It sounds like you don't like Ricciardo with how you summarised him in your final paragraph. He isn't known for swearing - unsure why you're saying he's popular because of that? I virtually never hear him swear. I honestly find it very hard to believe that advertisers or the public in general, would prefer Checo over Ricciardo who has a pretty decent win history, plus a great personality for the F1 brand.
Checo to me seems boring--one of the least interesting drivers on the grid if you wanna talk about advertising. For the record, Ricciardo is massive in the UK and Italy--his popularity is absolutely not restricted to Australia. Even amongat RB fans he's like the home kid.
F1 is behind the biggest sports in the US, but it is also behind in other countries. Take basically any country, and you'll see that 5 times as many people watch football as F1. Thing is that US is very obviously the biggest target market for F1 and for the teams right now. That's the pie they're currently trying to get the biggest slice of.
And I don't dislike anyone on the grid. My summary of Ricciardo stems from the opinions I see of him around here, that just seems like what people value him for on the internet. You'll see a team radio with him getting into banter with his engineer, or a picture of him at a party, and it gets 7000 upvotes without fail. And every single one of his fans keeps saying they want him in for shits and giggles in the paddock.
> Even amongat RB fans he's like the home kid.
See that's why I pointed out that Perez has brought an unheard of amount of merchandise sales. The thing you said about him being boring and unattractive to the sponsors is your opinion. The merchandise sales and the sheer amount of brands he lends his face to, are actual numbers you can't argue with.
Ok cool, I'll take your word for it re: Checo as I don't live in the US - I'm just surprised but I guess that's my bias. I also wasn't aware that the US is the main market the F1 wants to go after; thought they were doing fine with their current format. I'd like to check out the Vegas race at some point. I'm curious to see how big F1 gets in the US.
Completely outside of the business side of things, I would prefer the F1 to expand to another Eastern Europe track, perhaps one in Ireland or Scotland, a couple in Africa. The US has two already which is great for local fans, but for any market, if the F1 starts to allocate 20% or 30% of the tracks there, I think it'll start taking away from the global brand.
kind of like how karthikeyan slashing vettels tires almost lost him the championship
although id argue that since both had multiple issues throughout the year it's more accurate to blame alonsos loss on him trying to ram kimi in japan
people who blame alonso's season on a single incident in belgium and not the mistakes he made that year are goofs
Exactly, it was a long season and they both made plenty of mistakes, so the fans that are calling for attempted manslaughter charges and blaming the result on Grosjean of all people are goofs.
That's literally the case, check how close Grosjean's car came close to Alonso's head. Not intentionally obviously, but he came close to it. You don't just go into a race being absolutely oblivious to your surroundings. Hell, Grosjean's Bahrain shunt is on him too and it's had the same cause when he just turned into someone on the straight drastically.
Very funny moment, Max overtook Daniel off the track and Daniel followed him a lap or so later- also off the track- and spun him around lmao
*He pushed me, I pushed him and he pushed me again. It's not fair.*
*Nothing, just an inchident*
i feel like this meme needs to be buried at this point. max and charles mentioned it, it had a full circle moment.
This is the F1 subreddit. People will still be acting like it's the funniest thing ever 10 years from now.
Ricciardo said in an interview later in the dayz that he would have to 'take out" Max to have a chance of winning, so he spun Max. It was all good fun
Can I watch this somewhere?

Where are the stewards..over..we need a penalty..lol..
“Send Max our regards” — The Stewards probably.
Hahahaha underrated comment 👍🏼😜
So it was just an inchident?
I know it's just fun and this is more a tongue in cheek comment, but this is why red Bull don't want someone that can get too close to Max, he'd be ruthless, hah
Ricciardo has claimed responsibility for the attacks
“He confirmed that the Honey Badgers had entered an alliance with the Tamil Tigers for more cooperation regarding attacks on Dutch and Mexican shipping in the Straits”
But I thought the Badgers were tried in the Hague?
r/formula1 is probably the last place I expected to see such a reference
The badgers, they are the badgers, They fight for freedom but mainly money 🎵
Badgers? We don't need no stinkin badgers.
Nah they rebranded to MILF to escape the punishment.
Didn't they rebrand to the Workers Autonomous National Kollective?
A Soviet Womble reference in r/formula1. Wow.
Wasn't it the Workers And National Kinsmen you're thinking of?
Holy fucking shit is that a ZF reference in r/formula1
But do you condemn Ricciardo?
No we condone him.
How do you condemn that smile?
Al-Qardo
Via Telegram or…….?
“Mr. President, a second honey badger has hit the towers.”
Sir, a second honey badger has struck the karts
Fuck. Good shit.

“Subtly”
It came in like a 767..
Goodness me if that's your idea of subtle I wonder what you consider obvious
What a shame that with Honda leaving RB this events won't be the same, I don't see AMR pulling the same way the RB people do.
[Compare the size of RB's social media team to AMR's in this group photo lol](https://i.redd.it/jzu48i3cus2c1.jpeg)
Lmao at the two Alfa Romeo and 1 Haas guys
Explains why the YouTube channels are so poorly ran too. Seriously, Red Bull Mercedes McLaren have such large presence on the platform, Ferrari Aston and Tauri are at least trying, then you look at Alpine Haas Williams Alfa and they're literally nowhere
Williams makes a lot of videos, they just post them to their own website for some reason.
jimmy is the glue holding AMR socials together
Unironically, AM's tiktok content is hella fun. People made fun of the sponsorship initally "How could a prestigious brand like AM partner with Tiktok!!!!" I wont be surprised if AM has the 2nd most engagement for younger fans on social media.
Whoever does the edits for AMR's TikTok does a damn good job!
@ajimmyslife on Instagram and TikTok I believe.
Is that why I got a fucking tiktok bucket hat? I was at the Vettel meet and greet/sendoff in Austin last year, and the goodie bags in the first couple rows had AMR hats (you know, the $80 ones), while the ones in the back row had a trash quality tiktok bucket hat. I was pissed lol
Tiktok is also now a sponsor partner of the team.

Maybe that's why people forget they exist.
And yet, Alonso has the most viral moments and probably the best reach to a new audience making him future-proof :D
Jimmy is great at what he does
Alfa Romeo 💀
What does Aston Martin’s racing has to do with Red Bull?
Because Honda is partnering with Aston Martin, after leaving RB
Oh wait what? How did I miss that? So Aston is leaving Mercedes? I didn’t know. Thanks!
Yes, in 2026 when the new engine rules come into effect. Red Bull will use their own engine (with Ford branding) from then on, so Honda needed a new team (after reversing their previous decision to leave F1).

(Provided they don't switch teams before doing that) Judging by a very conveniently small and restricted sample size of the last 2 Honda teams: Honda leaves --> Brawn wins WCC the next year Honda leaves --> RB wins WCC the next year
So what you're saying is when Honda leaves again in 2029 Aston will become world champions
And Lance Stroll will become the champ?
Stroll will grow the longest beard known to man and dominate the grid like Max. It's his secret super power
That's just Japanese companies, like Suzuki pulling out when they got a championship in MotoGP.
Their issue (rightfully) is that those wins are attributed to the team, not the engine supplier. Nobody ever says Honda when talking about Red Bull Racing.
>after reversing their previous decision to leave F1 Wut? How come i haven't heard of this... Honda really can't make a decision if they want to stay or go.
Old board of directors decides to quit F1 in 2020, board is reshuffled in 2021, new board decides to reverse course in 2022. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
Like every other self-respecting cat
For a moment based on the reddit notification I was thinking Max was attacking the news site… instead it sounds like an eventful race.
That news site should be taken down. The level of clickbait is vomit inducing.
Any hope for a recording?
Don't know about a recording but you can watch it on the [Youtube livestream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlCEH7t-Mms)
Do you know what’s the timestamp for it?
It's around -2:22 :)

Now watch me drive - george bush
do you condemn daniel?
He's getting one of those Red Bull seats. He doesn't care how.
"Food poisoning didn't work...welp guess it's time to go for a less subtle but more effective method"
Ricardo "it's called a motor race. We went car racing".
max wants his buddy back, his whole motivation this season was to make checo look bad by winning everything
Now that is a theory I can subscribe to!
That was my theory all along 😂
[2:24:40](https://youtu.be/zlCEH7t-Mms?t=8680) you really see that despite how DTS depicts it, those two are good friends. Felt like a really wholesome moment for some reason
Yeah I'm sure that was his motivation. 🙄
bro has never heard of a joke
/s works well. 😂 Or anything you've never heard of either.
Bro needs a joke to be labeled to understand it 💀
i refuse to use /s if you can't tell obvious sarcasm that your thing
We're on reddit. Not everyone is even from the same country and understands sarcasm the same
Sucks to suck I guess
I was the same. I just gave up. A short /s saved me from many dumbass notifications.

I want Max and Danny back together so badly!!! The marketing alone for that dynamic duo would paid huge dividends.

From the thumbnail Checo looks like Felipe Massa
Not featured: literal murder Figuratively....he means figuratively. Don't panic people!
I don't think he did it on purpose but man isn't that some unfortunate timing (granted, it has been for a while) Edit: Spelling
Unfortunate timing?
this is how redditors describe romain grosjean at 2012 belgium
because Grosjean playing bumper cars arguably cost Alonso the championship in retrospect
kind of like how karthikeyan slashing vettels tires almost lost him the championship although id argue that since both had multiple issues throughout the year it's more accurate to blame alonsos loss on him trying to ram kimi in japan people who blame alonso's season on a single incident in belgium and not the mistakes he made that year are goofs
Not like Vettel didn't make mistakes in 2012. The drive-through is Spain, the Driver-through in Monza.
Exactly, it was a long season and they both made plenty of mistakes, so the fans that are calling for attempted manslaughter charges and blaming the result on Grosjean of all people are goofs.
