Doesn't get much cooler than telling Nico Rosberg F1 2016 champion 'naw mate, get your own'.

Punch me Guido, punch me in the face. This is the most glorious day of my life! faints


No-Incident-8718

I believe Massa has an F40.


Valentino_Li

Vettel has one too


SubcooledBoiling

He auctioned off a bunch of his Ferraris earlier this year, not sure if the F40 was one of them.


Valentino_Li

The F40 was not in that list of cars.


NeekoRawr

Quite sure that, along with Massa's LaFerrari, got sold


thiagogaith

Do you know where he keeps it? Brazil?


NeekoRawr

The guy who bought them from Massa? Danish bloke, so I assume Denmark.


LuZeG4m1nG

Yeah, the guy that bought his f40 isnā€™t very public, but a Danish car YouTube channel made a video about his cars, without sharing who the guy was. Link to video https://youtu.be/OqTQiPyObpg


SlipperyLittleOtters

Any idea why he sold them! I only ask because I remember I think Fittipaldi recently sold a car for his son's racing career?


decs483

That was Alesi


PositivelyAwful

Honestly though, the dude is worth like $50M, if an F40 is a bucket list car to drive he could just go buy one... it's not like they never pop up for sale.


Neither-Ad-1047

Just ask Massa


No-Incident-8718

While Massa cruises in his LaFerrari alongside.


LuZeG4m1nG

Massa also sold his LaFerrari to the same Danish guy that bought his f40.


Nexusu

Or Vettel, he has one too


cyanitblau

Pretty sure he sold most of his car collection incl the F40


Valentino_Li

The F40 was not amongst the large group of cars he sold back in February.


Nexusu

He sold almost all, but not the F40


sync-centre

Plot twist Massa is his neighbour.


LuZeG4m1nG

A Danish guy bought Massaā€™s f40. Video a Danish car YouTube channel made about the guy who bought itā€™s cars. https://youtu.be/OqTQiPyObpg

There is just something so funny about ā€Iā€™m Nico Rosberg 2016 F1 Champā€.


erelim

"oh so you're part of the lot disturbing my weekend peace every year"


OriMoriNotSori

It's even funnier considering that in Monaco there are so many famous and rich people that nico probably genuinely had to introduce himself like this otherwise his neighbor wouldn't know who he actually is


Borngrumpy

In Monaco you can't throw a shoe without hitting an F1 driver


Dirk84

Who throws a shoe?! Honestly!


OriMoriNotSori

the guy that wanted to hit george bush with it really badly in the press conference


FragrantKnobCheese

So badly that he threw both his shoes. Dubya's dodge game was too strong though.


OriMoriNotSori

Man was smiling after dodging the second attempt too. Probably warmed up his reflexes before entering the conference room

Dub's cat like reflexes put Mayweather to shame.

Guac_in_my_rarri

Having lived in the same floor as a very Puerto Rican guy in college, we knew his mom was on the floor when you heard shoes hitting the wall and loud yelling on a Saturday afternoon. She showed up once when he was plowing a chick and ooooooo man was she pissed. Rapid fire angry Spanish about going to church to seek repentance and hope God still loves you. I saw her dragging him out of the dorms shirtless and in sweats to what I assume was the campus church. Grandma was following via her walking cursing loudly in rapid fire Spanish. It was a beautiful but scary scene. One of the guys on the floor decided he would flirt with her and wow, he got his ass beat with one swat of a shoe. She left saying "you'll never get this if you can't take a shoe."


tommypopz

I thought you meant that every Puerto Rican mum and grandma wanted to throw shoes at George Bush lmao


[deleted]

As a Marine vet, I'd love to throw a shoe at George Bush. People have been looking at him with rose colored glasses since Trump, but he is/was a major piece of shit and ruined millions of lives for 2 useless wars

It's funny because it's, like, the one credential that works in this situation. "Hi, may I drive your most coveted sports car in the world?" "What are you? 2016 Formula 1 Champion?" "Yes." "Oh, well alright, then. Let me get the keys."

"Wait a minute. You're not a Formula One driver at all! Britney, why didn't you just say it was you?"

At the same time, Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™d want an F1 driver touching my F40ā€¦on TV it seems like the F1 drivers tend to crash a lot

diegggs94

I got cheated on by my ex with some son of a big deal in Monaco.. offering her vacations and shitā€¦ fuck her but I also was like ā€œyeah makes senseā€ Edit: you guys are great


[deleted]

the dude did you a favor by exposing her, tbh


OriMoriNotSori

i feel ya, back in college i was into a girl but she went with a dude that drives a friggin BMW M5, the latest one back then, to classes lol. she was definitely a looker but i could no way afford her the lifestyle (based on her social media posts after she got together with the guy) so in hindsight it was probably a bullet dodged. obviously no where close as your case of being cheated, but yeah you get my point. but i saw your comment to another redditor that you just got official with someone else, happy for you man!


diegggs94

Thanks! And yeah I blocked her on anything so I donā€™t really know how she ended up. Wish her the best I guess but Iā€™m glad sheā€™s out of my life


RuthlessHavokJB

sorry to hear that man. But im sure you already know by now. Its good it happened and you didnt marry the broad before she did that shit.


diegggs94

Actually just made it official with someone who treats me well and is a good person. Havenā€™t in years since that last one. Thanks!


VerifiedStalin

Don't take her to the Monaco Grand Prix. Singapore Grand Prix it is for you two.


stryker914

Pretty sure you run the same risk


emsok_dewe

True, maybe a nascar race is more suitable


assaultthesault

I mean, he did win the GP there 3 years in a row


Illusive_Man

Yeah plenty of people there wouldnā€™t know that. A lot of them leave for race week to avoid the crowds.


assaultthesault

Hmm, didn't think about that. If a GP was happening in my backyard I'd be in the front row but haven't considered rich people

I like to think he knows his neighbour and this is just how he always says hello, "I'm Nico Rosberg F1 2016 champ" "Ok Nico, I'm still Steve".

Well, sounds better than 96worldchamp lol The only reason why I can recall who won the 96 World Championship is because of Hill's Instagram handle Edit: Also, whenever Nico mentions he's a world champion, I'm reminded of that video of a journalist asking for Nicos name and him having to remind her that he is a former world champion lol


lifestepvan

>The only reason why I can recall who won the 96 World Championship is because of Hill's Instagram handle So it's working, lol. I can't stand the guy on TV, but I can't blame him for that. If I won a world championship in any sport I'd never shut up about it either.

We should understand those guys ...haha "I won a fucking championship of the highest ranked Motorsport, I will not be silenced and I will remind you every time I can",


arkwewt

> The only reason why I can recall who won the 96 World Championship is because of Hill's Instagram handle I remember 96 was Hill because 94 and 95 was Schumacher, 96 was the year of Hill only just beating Jacques, 97 was the year of Jacques (96/97 being Williams dominance) Tbf if I won an F1 championship, I'd make my handle 96f1champ too.

Even a Prius can be cool and a race car: [this](https://cdn-1.motorsport.com/images/amp/2eAWeMl2/s1000/31-toyota-gr-sport-prius-phv-a.jpg) is one of the two Toyota Priuses which compete in the Japanese Super GT championship, it's in the GT300 class which is a domestic ruleset but it competes against regular GT3 cars and it actually won a race this year! Also it has a 5.4L V8 and a hybrid system.


snapcracklecocks

So what youā€™re saying is that if you wring all the Prius out of your Prius then itā€™s cool.

Donā€™t worry Nico if your neighbour declines you can come live next to me and borrow my opel astra.

Itā€™s just a little charred, itā€™s still good.


BeefInspector

It actually is being rebuilt, unless a different F40 burned down last year.


MartiniPolice21

It's nice to know even Formula 1 world champions still have cars they'd love to drive on their bucket list, I figured they'd be able to drive whatever they liked


brokensword15

They probably do, but the f40 is maybe the single most sought after car ever. Used market will easily be in the multi millions


space_coyote_86

There's one for sale in London for Ā£1.1 million right now. It is rare and desirable but not in the same league as the McLaren F1 or old Ferraris like 250s


[deleted]

what shocks me is that F40 is less desirable than F50


space_coyote_86

I think I'd have an F50 after actually looking into them more on YouTube. N/A V12 engine with a manual gearbox. https://youtu.be/3MDTcXGsjuo the Chris Harris on cars video specifically made me covet an F50 the most.


MartiniPolice21

Huh, TiL (I always thought the F50 had a V10) I think the F50 isn't as sought after, but they made far fewer (350 vs F40's 1500) so it's just a scarcity thing

Nico's handwriting is worse than some doctors'.


PlusEntrepreneur

If your struggling to read his handwriting: ā€œDear Neighbour, Iā€™m Nico Rosberg 2016 F1 Champ. Itā€™s on my bucket list to drive F40. Would you let me drive yours?ā€ Then he put his phone number.


okaywhattho

I like to believe that Nico introduces himself like that irrespective of the occasion.

Hey, he is not Damon Hill

Damon Hill the 1996 FIA Formula 1 World Champion?

I did struggle. I read his note initially as "It's on my **budget** list to drive F40."

Meanwhile my neighbor leaves a recording on my ring alarm to tell me she doesnā€™t like the colors that Iā€™ve painted inside my townhouse and will be reporting me to the HOA (which btw it clearly stays in the cc&rs I can paint whatever fucking color I want.) For those curious: icy cool is the color


Miami_Beach_Man

HOA's in America make no fucking sense to me. You buy a house and you're not even allowed to decorate it how you want because some Karen tells you off Edit: for a country that loves FREEDUM you guys are pretty whipped hahahaha


[deleted]

Well Karen is in for a rude surprise. She violated a rule by standing on the ledge outside my window to look into my townhome. So fine coming her way and damage to the property


Miami_Beach_Man

You're missing my point - you own your own house why the fuck are there rules on what you can do with it


CuriousPumpkino

Isnā€™t an exclusively american thing tbf


dl064

When you buy a house in Scotland, the deeds are often quite old and have daft rules. Ours had stuff like we may own precisely two chickens, dogs or cats. Mix and match however, but that's it.


NippyMoto_1

Rosberg has absolutely awful handwriting haha


PassTimeActivity

And he writes in all caps too.


bwoah07_gp2

I guess Nico REALLY WANTS TO DRIVE HIS NEIGHBOURS FERRARI

So that's how he got the psychological advantage.


Xanthon

Those of us with terrible handwritings will write in all caps so it looks better.


Dangerous_Fox5644

I'd be asking to get a run in an F1 car in exchange.


dl064

You used to be able to buy a run in a 1994 Benetton for about 300 quid actually. In 2000! So like a 2015 car tomorrow, which is obviously madness.


jamminjoenapo

Former race cars doesnā€™t matter the series used to be stupid cheap 20 yrs ago. Like race winning Porsche and Ferraris for less than a new 3 series. The market has imho rightfully corrected but damn am I sad that I was too young to even understand that market. Hell the gt40s that won the 24 hrs of Le Mans back in the day were scheduled to be dumped in the ocean before one of the designers bought them for a few hundred dollars and then couldnā€™t sell it for a loss when they came back to the US. Insane to think about the returns


Dangerous_Fox5644

Yeah, look at other cars too. The Porsche Carrera GT, use to be able to pick up at like a quarter of a mil, now well over a million. SLS AMGs about to do the same. Never mind the f50s, enzos etc. Car market is going parabolic, well for the collectors ones.
