I first saw the Zug license plate and I thought it made sense for a car like this until I realized it’s actually from Croatia. Lol.

So awesome, I saw the first one the other week and it was great - it's amazing how well they did at bringing it from prototype a year ago to this refined final product.

Nico's gotta be doing 150mph on that back road and hairpins at 50+mpk

Who is Nico?

Wonderful, I would pay to work on that factory floor.

He’s an F1 driver, retired.

He won the F1 world championship for Mercedes and then retired without defending his crown. Everything I know about him says he's a class act and decent guy.

Agreed, but him going into early retirement caused us a lot of boredom due to milk toast Bottas getting plowed by Hamilton. Nico wasn't having any of Hamilton's shit and wanted to win, I wish he would have stayed at Merc and made some very boring years at least competitive.

I'm not a big Hamilton fan but in my opinion he got hosed out of his championship last year. It was predictable there for a few years but this year has been excellent with three teams in the hunt.

I actually admire Nico for leaving it behind after beating Hamilton as opposed to what, for example, Vettel is doing.

F1 champion. Won it once and retired. To me that makes him one of the best.

F1 World Champion, defeated Lewis Hamilton in the same car as him during an era where no other constructor/team could even compete with the Mercedes.

Awesome dude.

Yeah, definitely not though... especially if you selectively ignore how the entire season Max was getting screwed in a car significantly slower starting from Brazil.

Max was 100% the champion of the 2021 season and he's definitely a better driver than Lewis is.
