Oh goody... Bet it'll have freaking LV Seat skins.. Just another way to worship a label probably...

Cool as hell though if He's really into the sport. F1 can use all the exposure it can get... Puffy knows how to promote so that's pretty cool!!!

All power to him but he's going to need partners. You don't just buy a couple of cars and race around in circles.

Design, R&D, sponsorship, marketing, DRIVERS etc.

I think I read it costs $400 Million to field one car in F1 for a year.

Most likely he would team with an established organization.

I hope he doesn't become the first F1 Team to drop 20" chrome rims on the F1 racing car.

What a joke!

yea somewhere about there, its a huge amount of money



theres no reason for him to "own" a team unless he wants to be part of the decisions, and the asshate has no business making racing decisions

he would most likely choose one aero design over the other because its more bling or something


hes better off just being a sponsor for one
