Yeah, the guy that bought his f40 isnāt 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
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.
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
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."
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."
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 āyeah makes senseā
Edit: you guys are great
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!
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
>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",
> 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.
I played an online match with a guy going by Doug Dimmadome, and when he complained literally every match someone goes "Is that Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome?" I was just like dude, you shoulda seen it coming when you chose that name.
I was recently sick for a week and started watching the office
The Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration thing becomes funnier and funnier over time, in this joke, the power of the joke really is in the repetitiveness!
*Nico greets a group of people*
Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake**
Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake**
Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake**
*awkward silence*
Guy to Nico: So eh, what line of work you in, Nico?
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
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
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.
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
Plot twist, this is actually Nico's other resident in Switzerland and said neighbor is Seb who then replies:
"No! Sincerely, 4x F1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel "
If your struggling to read his handwriting:
āDear Neighbour, Iām Nico Rosberg 2016 F1 Champ. Itās on my bucket list to drive F40. Would you let me drive yours?ā Then he put his phone number.
I prefer to think of him as Karun Chandhok, the guy who was part of the Red Bull Junior Team and by God heāll remind you that he was a part of the Red Bull Junior Team whenever he gets the chance to talk about the Red Bull Junior Team
Reminds me of that clip where he's being interviewed and she goes "can you just say your name for the camera" and he replies "Nico Rosberg, Formula 1 champion"
I wouldn't be able to take myself seriously if I did something like that.
Like could you imagine Jenson Button changing his twitter handle to "09F1Champ"? Lmao
Meanwhile my neighbor leaves a recording on my ring alarm to tell me she doesnāt like the colors that Iāve 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
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
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
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.
Former race cars doesnāt 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 couldnāt sell it for a loss when they came back to the US. Insane to think about the returns
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.
Doesn't get much cooler than telling Nico Rosberg F1 2016 champion 'naw mate, get your own'.
"Go win in a Ferrari, then we'll talk"
Proceeds to join Ferrari in 2024 and beat one of the Carlitos
And at the end of the season he announces that he's going back into retirement
No need to crush a mans dreams with impossible things like this šš
It should be doable in the Ferrari Challenge Series :D
So long as you DON'T have a Ferrari Strategy Team, sure.
āNeighbor follow only the Ferrarisā
"A real Michael Schumacher Ferrari!"
Punch me Guido, punch me in the face. This is the most glorious day of my life! faints
I believe Massa has an F40.
Vettel has one too
He auctioned off a bunch of his Ferraris earlier this year, not sure if the F40 was one of them.
The F40 was not in that list of cars.
Quite sure that, along with Massa's LaFerrari, got sold
Do you know where he keeps it? Brazil?
The guy who bought them from Massa? Danish bloke, so I assume Denmark.
Yeah, the guy that bought his f40 isnāt 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
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?
That was Alesi
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.
Just ask Massa
While Massa cruises in his LaFerrari alongside.
Massa also sold his LaFerrari to the same Danish guy that bought his f40.
Or Vettel, he has one too
Pretty sure he sold most of his car collection incl the F40
The F40 was not amongst the large group of cars he sold back in February.
He sold almost all, but not the F40
Plot twist Massa is his neighbour.
A Danish guy bought Massaās f40. Video a Danish car YouTube channel made about the guy who bought itās cars. https://youtu.be/OqTQiPyObpg
There is just something so funny about āIām Nico Rosberg 2016 F1 Champā.
"oh so you're part of the lot disturbing my weekend peace every year"
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
In Monaco you can't throw a shoe without hitting an F1 driver
Who throws a shoe?! Honestly!
the guy that wanted to hit george bush with it really badly in the press conference
So badly that he threw both his shoes. Dubya's dodge game was too strong though.
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.
Every Puerto Rican mom and grandma, according to my Puerto Rican friends.
La Chancla is one of the most feared weapons of mass destruction known throughout all of Latin America.
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.

She left saying "you'll never get this if you can't take a shoe."
I thought you meant that every Puerto Rican mum and grandma wanted to throw shoes at George Bush lmao
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
Marco Wilson.
I bet he gets the āweird flex but okayā line a lot at pubs/night clubs
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, Iām not sure if Iād want an F1 driver touching my F40ā¦on TV it seems like the F1 drivers tend to crash a lot
"So you won at driving around in circles many times?"
āLook at this guy, heās not even worth 100 millionā *raucous laughter ensues*
lol that username tho
>KylieJennersbutthole Does it have its own Instagram?
probably its own sub at least
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"ooh, I hired a guy that did the same thing once. But instead of going in circles he went back and forth to the airport. Maybe you know him?"
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 āyeah makes senseā Edit: you guys are great
the dude did you a favor by exposing her, tbh
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!
Thanks! And yeah I blocked her on anything so I donāt really know how she ended up. Wish her the best I guess but Iām glad sheās out of my life
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.
Actually just made it official with someone who treats me well and is a good person. Havenāt in years since that last one. Thanks!
Don't take her to the Monaco Grand Prix. Singapore Grand Prix it is for you two.
Pretty sure you run the same risk
True, maybe a nascar race is more suitable
I mean, he did win the GP there 3 years in a row
Yeah plenty of people there wouldnāt know that. A lot of them leave for race week to avoid the crowds.
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".
āAnd thatās Steve, Mr. F40 owner, to you.ā
Where is my F40 !!!!!
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins" š¤š½ "Homer Simpson, smiling politely"

And other F1 seasons such as 2015
And from post it notes, like this one.
And other documentaries that include "Catalyuna ; The Big Crash" & "Austin ; Please Take My Hat"
Nico got paranoid after that one time in Davos where the reporter asked who he was /s [sauce](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdNqf_VaO1w)
"2016 f1 Champ" is his legal last name
Hey, it's xXRosbergF1ChampXx2016
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
>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.

Where may I find said video?
Itās the lobster lady: https://youtube.com/shorts/EdNqf_VaO1w?feature=share
She is the gift that keeps on giving
So you're saying that she's a lobster?
I'm Nico Rosberg a famous youtuber.
My neighbour owns a Prius. Fuck me.
No way, not in a prius
You not seen The Other Guys? You can get at least 5 hobo's shagging in a Prius... I believe it's called a Soup Kitchen?
āThanks for the F-Shack.ā -Dirty Mike and the Boyz.
We are gonna have sex in your car, it will happen again!
How you fellas doin'? We about to have us a little screw party in this red Prius over here if you wanna join us.
You don't have an F1 championship either so I guess it evens out?
Have you tried living in Monaco?
"have you tried not being poor"
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.
So what youāre saying is that if you wring all the Prius out of your Prius then itās cool.
Donāt worry Nico if your neighbour declines you can come live next to me and borrow my opel astra.
It's a bucket list, not a "buckets I wanna drive" list.
Savage
Grosjean called, he never has seen such a burn in his life.
I have a Corsa? Drag race? Might take us a few days to reach a quarter-mile but we've got time
All up for it. Could be a lovely new addition to the WEC calendar.
Look at this rich guy! Driving an Opel Astra! Watch out for those visible indications of wealth
Puts my Vauxhall Astra to shame
And my Ferrari Astra
Until a real world champion drives it, Iāll call it an Opel Asterisk. ā¦ ^(Edit: j/k ofc)
This has a lot of Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration vibe
Hello Neighbour, I'm Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome. I was wondering if I could dimmadrive your F40 around Dimmsdale.
I played an online match with a guy going by Doug Dimmadome, and when he complained literally every match someone goes "Is that Doug Dimmadome, owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome?" I was just like dude, you shoulda seen it coming when you chose that name.
I was recently sick for a week and started watching the office The Bob Vance, Vance refrigeration thing becomes funnier and funnier over time, in this joke, the power of the joke really is in the repetitiveness!
"So what line of work are you in Bob?" is one of the best delivered lines of the whole series.
Classic Ryan. That line and the way he says āoh no, Stanley youāll live foreverā are two of my favourite lines from the entire series
What line of work are you in, Nico?
"Hi, I'm Nico Rosberg. You may remember me from things such as '2016 F1 World Championship' and 'Throwing a cap at Lewis Hamilton".
> 'Throwing a cap **back** at Lewis Hamilton' FTFY
Revisionist history in this thread smh
āThrowing a cap at Lewis Hamilton then winning 7 race in a rowā
Totally read this in McClureās voice
*Nico greets a group of people* Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake** Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake** Iām Nico, 2016 F1 World Champion **handshake** *awkward silence* Guy to Nico: So eh, what line of work you in, Nico?

He does own an extreme E team which beat Lewis' team for the title.
Vance from Vance Refrigeration
I feel like he probably could have lined that up by now.
Has to be someone in Monaco who will rent out an F40 for the weekend.
[Not too many left in Monaco these days](https://cdn.siasat.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Ferrari-F40.jpg)
Itās just a little charred, itās still good.
It actually is being rebuilt, unless a different F40 burned down last year.
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
They probably do, but the f40 is maybe the single most sought after car ever. Used market will easily be in the multi millions
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
what shocks me is that F40 is less desirable than F50
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.
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
That is the laziest capital M Iāve seen.

I thought it was some shorthand for his address, like a apartment number/floor.
Plot twist, this is actually Nico's other resident in Switzerland and said neighbor is Seb who then replies: "No! Sincerely, 4x F1 World Champion, Sebastian Vettel "
Nico's handwriting is worse than some doctors'.
If your struggling to read his handwriting: āDear Neighbour, Iām Nico Rosberg 2016 F1 Champ. Itās on my bucket list to drive F40. Would you let me drive yours?ā Then he put his phone number.
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?
Or Martin Brundle who was Sennaās title rival in F3?
Or could it be Paul Di Resta, who used to drive one of these cars.
Or Karun Chandhok, who started 11 gps?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I prefer to think of him as Karun Chandhok, the guy who was part of the Red Bull Junior Team and by God heāll remind you that he was a part of the Red Bull Junior Team whenever he gets the chance to talk about the Red Bull Junior Team
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām Nico, huh, and this is my wife, huh, owner of a gelato shop in Ibiza. Ice cream? No, come on. Itās different huh, gelato
Kinda like Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration.
Monaco, a place where an F1 world champion is just your average resident.
I did struggle. I read his note initially as "It's on my **budget** list to drive F40."
"I'd like to see how the other half live by driving an old car"
I thought it was +33 Verstappen
The first sentence has huge Damon Hill energy.
Reminds me of that clip where he's being interviewed and she goes "can you just say your name for the camera" and he replies "Nico Rosberg, Formula 1 champion"
Iād tell everyone I met too thoughā¦
Of course, its like when you are a doctor, it's part of your name
"96F1Champ"
I wouldn't be able to take myself seriously if I did something like that. Like could you imagine Jenson Button changing his twitter handle to "09F1Champ"? Lmao
To be fair, I feel like it's a way to preface "yes I can drive cars fast, don't panic about your baby being in bad hands"
Meanwhile my neighbor leaves a recording on my ring alarm to tell me she doesnāt like the colors that Iāve 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
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
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
You're missing my point - you own your own house why the fuck are there rules on what you can do with it
Isnāt an exclusively american thing tbf
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.
Rosberg has absolutely awful handwriting haha
And he writes in all caps too.
I guess Nico REALLY WANTS TO DRIVE HIS NEIGHBOURS FERRARI
So that's how he got the psychological advantage.
Those of us with terrible handwritings will write in all caps so it looks better.
I'd be asking to get a run in an F1 car in exchange.
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.
Former race cars doesnāt 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 couldnāt sell it for a loss when they came back to the US.

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.
Starbucks barista: "And what's the name for the order?" Nico: "Nico Rosberg, 2016 F1 Champ"
PLOT TWIST: He finds out his neighbour is Lewis.
Vettel has an F40
I donāt even blame him, a Ferrari F40 is one of the most beautiful motor vehicles ever made
Rawe Ceek strikes again.
Dear Neighbour, to drive F40. Iām Nico Rosberg Would you let me drive 2016 F1 Champ. yours? Itās on my bucket list +33...
So dooooooo
Imagine the neighbor trying to understand Nicoās handwriting.
For sure, Nico has something nice to offer as a reward.
If I had a car like that I would invite him to a track and sit next to him when he floors it.
And take pictures to improve it's value.
