Hopefully they're just trolling at this point.. Or it's Haas they're taking over.

Not many other teams "available". I think/hope Sauber are to sensible to get into business with a dodgy bearded bloke, and Williams probably don't need the cash that desperately anymore.

Going to cost at least $500m to buy a team now..... The cost cap has the effect of making the teams profitable. That makes them valuable......

I’m sure Mr Mateschitz is happily sitting in his lair, counting his money, not worried in the slightest about what William Storey might be up to next year.

In a similar way to a tramp recommending 'Special Brew' or 'Bucky' as his drink of choice... the bloke seems clearly deluded.

O.M.F.G.

Will he never learn? This is the height of self-deluded, self-promotion that seems to be the cornerstone of the free-loading "influencer".

If we never heard from him again, the world would be a measurably better place.

How does he keep going day-to-day? Where does he get money from? What does he do when gets out of bed on Monday morning to go to ‘work’?

Some things I will never understand.

It plainly has to be some kind of money laundering exercise.

As an aside Whyte bikes have done some spice trolling, the is the charger socket on their latest ebike:

hehe

Been chatting with a friend of mine over the past few days about this, and we have come to the conclusion that
RE scientist, the Austrian Dr perhaps, is Marko, he has the funding to be able to do sponsor Haas.
The Honda engine was ste
The Ferrari engine was good.
Plant Bad Santa as a comedy scapegoat to take on RB, but really get as much info as possible on the Ferrari motor and pass it to Honda, the 2019 Honda engine was not as good as Ferrari, the 2020 one was better than Ferrari, Marko is crazy enough to do this, RB end up squeaky clean because why would they be involved the RE st show?

Perhaps a brilliant trojan horse on behalf of RB

Thats a nice idea - but how would a sponsor be able to get any closer to the inner workings of an engine than anyone else on the hospitality side of F1?.. just give the sandwich supplier a bung instead, or plant someone in the logistics operation. Can't see any of them getting close to the power unit development based back in the factory though.

Sorry to just drop in on this thread. I've never even seen the drink in the shops/restaurants/outside of this thread and a cursory Google search.

Is it just a Walt F1 team owner winding people up or is there more to it?

Bought a few cans for one of the kids who is into F1 for fun.

Tastes a bit like flat Red Bull with lemon in it.

Still available from Amazon.
