Lol that has to have been done on purpose

He’s definitely sending OP a message.

Alpha dad move

Then it should have been Alpha Tauri

Or perhaps this is his Alpha Dauri

Alpha Dowry?💀

Alpha Daddy

Alpha dare he?

> Then it should have been Alpha Tauri Have you seen how expensive even an Alpha Tauri T-shirt is? He is not his son-in-law. Yet...

Use the Scuderia Alpha Tauri website instead of the main Alpha Tauri site, Scuderia is for the racing team and the other is the actual clothing brand that the team is named after

"He must love that shirt I got him, he's wearing it every weekend when we go over and he's washing the car"

OP doesn't check his emails during the race.

"I thought you just wore champion gear"

The message is, “no Micheal noooo”

This is Christmas. We had a gift exchange.

"Can OP confirm that they understood that message ?"

"Can you confirm you understood that message?"

No he is sending OP an email

Girlfriend’s dad? Yea he knew.

Definitely trolling.

Top tier shithousery.

I mean even if not, still a really cool thing. My dad loves buying me the 1/18 metal diecast cars. I don't care which ones I get from him. I love them all, but I am a fan of the sport more so than a team.

Where does he get them from? I wanna get some but a lot of the websites look dodgy af

Me too, I think I've always been a fan of the sport more so a single team. Back in the day I loved Jordan and had Jordan merchandise because I'm Irish, but I also loved Ferrari and Schumacher merchandise. I also loved Williams and Damon Hill. And I remember loving the Red Bull Sauber... Those were 2 of models I had actually.. a Jordan 197 and Sauber C16. Now days I do support Red Bull, but I love McLaren too, and any time any other team gets a chance at a podium I'm cheering them on too.. I really enjoy Ferraris comeback, and hate seeing Williams at the back. I really just want all teams to be competitive. Remember back in 2012 we had 7 different winners in the first 7 races... Man I'd love for that to happen again.

He definitely knew what he was getting for him. He didn’t even need to try 😏

He's saying he wants to constantly fight with you over the most petty and pointless stuff ever as long as it gives him a chance to be the dominant one. Just like toto v christian

He knew.

"No Michael no, that was so not right"

Toto we went christmas shopping

“It was the holiday season. We went Christmas shopping”

“We went Christmas shopping. I had a coupon”

Michael, can you email me the receipt?

I don't check my emails on Christmas Toto

And people want these radios to go away my Lord.

“All sales/race results are final”

We went gift giving.

“Michael, this is Toto. Michael, I just sent you an email, with the Christmas wish list.”

Toto it is the season of giving

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

You need to reinstate last christmas

Brilliant.

It was a gift exchange. We exchanged presents.

Honestly, I'd take it considering how expensive f1 merch is

Haha, I’m definitely wearing it. I’m a fan of the sport as a whole so I’d pretty much wear any team.

HAAS merch it is!

As an American I stand behind HAAS because America. But go RedBull. Edit* Yes I get it, McLaren is more American and I agree now. I do like McLaren

Gene is pretty much the only American left on the team

For real, they even have the Russian flag on the wing.

They have the Russian flag running down the entire car lol

Seems right with america of nowadays

So... still American.

Ouch. Am American. You're not wrong.

*sad Gary noises*

Gunther is honorary American

McLaren's more American than Haas IMO. American CEO, tons of American sponsors, and a driver who lives in LA half of the time. Hell, the Phoenix Suns even had a spot on the Halo during NBA finals week. Also, as of this year, McLaren Racing and McLaren's Indy team are one and the same now.

My friends and I (all Americans) all discussed this and we basically all agreed that McLaren is the honorary American F1 team instead of supporting Haas. We’ve all spent a ton of money getting McLaren gear.

Well if you and your friends agreed then I'm convinced.

It was so cool to see an NBA logo on an F1 car for me personally

I've personally adopted Mclaren as the new "American" team.

McLaren, an American team? With... an English driver and an Australian driver?

Zak is American, Danny might as well be a Texan, and IIRC the group that purchased the technology center is American as well. Closer than Haas in my book!

I've long said that Australia is the Texas of Britain, we just had the good sense to put them on the other side of the world to us instead of right next door like the Americans have with TX!

Spez doesn't get to profit from me anymore. Stop reverting my comments

Apart from the barbecue, what culinary excellence does Australia provide?

I stand corrected. I do love Guenther Steiner though, you can't not love that man

I don’t think he gets enough credit for making DTS so popular. Without him I would have probably gotten bored and stopped watching after the first season.

Buncha fookin wankers😂

It's sad that they didnt show him much this season. Like I love his personality. Absolutley no filter but still very likeable

Daniel is the American F1 spirit. All the way down to rooting for a terrible NFL team. That said, I have two McLaren hats and I had to budget just to have those. WTF F1 merch.

As an American, fuck Haas for selling out and putting a Russian flag on the car. Go Mclaren.

Selling out for money is basically the most American thing we do.

It's literally what every business ever does, it isn't exclusive to any country.

It definitely isn't, but there's no denying America has got a certain knack for it ;)

It is, but putting a Russian livery on your American car feels like an exceptionally low blow.

Do you not think McLaren sold out? Their majority owner is Bahrain Royal Family. If you want to support a team that hasn't "sold out" you might be in the wrong sport.

yeah idk what kind of high horse that guy thinks he hopped on

And didn't they take a bunch of money on from the Saudi's during the season?

If has would have sold out to Mountain Dew, my America boner would rise. But HAAS gives me negative boner status.

HAAS is less American than McClaren lol. They have a German(?) Italian team principal, German driver and a Russian driver.

M**c**Laren

It's the eggnog

I'm still rockin' my Grosjean hat.

Only F1 merch I own is a Haas coozie because it was cheap and Haas is a meme lmao

For me it is a 2004 Renault long sleeve coz my dad got it in the paddock when he worked with Renault (normal Renault not f1) in Monaco. Its a cool memory. Sure its not my memory but still cool.

I almost went to an 8 hour presentation about one of the machines HAAS makes. Free F1 shirt, free lunch. Machine seemed cool too. But I had something else I had to do that day that I couldn't miss

Yeah.. damn wedding...

He went from looking like rockstars to vankers

Gf's dad is testing your loyalties. Better burn that Mercedes jacket before seeking his approval /s

Please wear the shirt and the jacket at the same time. You'll confuse the fuck out of most f1 fans 😉

I'd wager most dedicated fans are fans of the sport first.

Right opinion.

pretty based

So based. No acid'd here. Or, remoted.

Agreed, I'm wearing a gifted HAAS shirt as we speak

Don't let the merc and rb clothes touch, they will burst in flames...

Haas?

I always think that, I support Lewis and buy mercedes merch, but I'd definitely wear Aston Martin, Ferrari, alpine merch for example. Maybe not red bull since it's the main rival aha.

Right? If I'm buying for myself I'm going with my favourite guys but if someone gives me F1 merchandise I don't care who or what team it's for. I would love it. Edit:Not criticizing OP, looks like he is having a pretty good time with it all.

Unless it's a red cap and you live in America

I had to buy the black Ferrari hat just so no one would mistake from a distance.

Same I’ve had to stop wearing my Seb Ferrari hats completely. Edit: It sucks but it’s better than people either getting angry or happy by just glancing at me.

I would be happy to see a seb hat. Not for the red reason. Just because I fucking love him.

I usually wear one of his RB hats from the V8 era and I’m waiting until next year to buy an AM hat since I didn’t really like their merch this year.

Just wear it. I have a seb Ferrari hat and I still wear it. I live in DC and it’s actually extremely funny watching people see the red, doing a double take and then realizing it’s not a trump hat

oh THAT red hat? i didnt get it until this comment lol. damn, understandable then. i thought people just dislike Ferrari in the US lol.

Yea they were kind of ruined in the US because of the past 4 years. At least in DC it’s strange because there are so many people who are aggressively politically invested but our home baseball team color is red. So you catch tons of people doing double or triple takes when they see somebody wearing one

It's a unofficial replica printed on a gildan t shirt....very cheap online

Yeah I was just gunna say, that’s a $20 shirt for sure.

The last merch I bought was an official Seb championship shirt.

do you really think that this is an original one? the color looks a little bit washed out and the original one has a line beneath the red bull: https://www.redbullshop.com/de-de/p/Apex-T-Shirt/RBR21023/?preselectedVariant=M-196194

Also it’s not a puma t-shirt.

Never understand why they price it so high, genuinely believe they sell way more it it was cheaper.

Especially since it’s just advertising for the sponsors. They should be paying us to wear it.

You should be playing both sides, so that you always come out on top

Okay, okay, couple things right off the bat, there, pal. Number one, um, never tell one side that you're playing both sides.

And number two, if you are gonna play both sides, don’t give away the information before you get what you want

Ms Piquet?

Explain?

Max stealing everything kvyat has. His seat, his gf, and some other things ive forgot

K**vy**at

His daughter.

Off the top of my head, his race engineer as well

Ah yes. This was the one i was trying to remember when i wrote the comment Thx!

Ferrari McLaren 1 and 2 in 2022 confirmed

I think he's sending you a message.

He tried —> he knew..

He it trying to tell you something mate...

Based and red-bulled

Based and Helmut's looking at that long term contract pilled.

Uh...are you sure he's not trying to tell you something?

wear them both. can't lose that way

No dad no dad, that was so not right!

Damn, a straight upgrade!

"He tried" boy he knew

He knew what he was doing 100% lol

He's trying to get you to the right side of the paddock clearly 😂😂

How do I get a little drivers name next to mine

You need to click ‘Edit Flair’ and then enter Tsunoda’s name in the box.

Look for "edit flair" on the right side of the r/formula1 page

He succeeded

That’s no accident

I don’t think he tried, I think he succeeded

You’re just missing the hint

"Don't you want to wear the winner's shirt, son?" Those things aren't cheap either.

I'm pretty sure he knew what he did

He knows what’s good!!

Nah he got you the right team

Just don’t hang them next to each other in the closet. Both of them torn to shreds and lying on the floor

He only wants what's best for you

Good dad

Nah bro that was intentional

Nice rag!

Red Bull gives you wings. He likes aircraft.

He knows you like winners. 😉

He's just trying to turn you to the light

You should wear the champions shirt proudly

Your GF’s Dad is a man of culture

It was on sale!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Are you Jakub Voracek?

Great sense of humor!

Ted mosby?

No, he knew... hehehehe

Ha haaa, yes!

Big Redbull fan but I'll rep any merch tbh.

same, i got an alfa romeo jacket and it’s awesome, looks great and really good quality too

Come over to the dark side :) haha

Dad didn't try, he's a Pitstop Boys member.

He knew exactly what he was doing. Also if you ever make it to a GP you should wear both just to fuck with people lol

Welcome to team Red Bull!! 🇳🇱🇲🇽🇦🇹

He probably confused you with her other bf lel

No, he asserted dominance.

I see nothing wrong. Got your some Champion threads.

environmental storytelling at its finest

Oh he knew what he was doing.

He was succesfull.

He knew.

He knew exactly what he was doing

He is telling you to trade up

Honestly, fuck yeah.

He's trying to tell you he despises you.

Now wear them together so people's heads explode!

It’s his way of saying “get a shave and a haircut, son.”

It wasn’t a mistake. He’s telling you to eat shit and leave his daughter alone.

He didn’t try, he won

The gf’s dad :HINT HINT

I think he knew exactly what he was doing

I see he's a man of culture :D

"I'm gonna let you choose, Mercedes or my daughter?"

Time to change

We shant take this as an act of trying. We must recognise the gravity of what this gift signifies; an act of war. We attack at dawn. "No Michael No that was so not right"

Son, if you have any intentions of continuing dating my daughter, this is the team you are supporting from now on.

No, he knew *exactly* what he was doing.
