Yeah, that'd be cool. I'm up for any way we can get more F1 drivers

I think it's still early days and usually they have a lot.morw up their sleeve when it comes to pop lines.


Drivers with wheels that they got for winning qualifying would be great. I guess there could be a lot of different ones they could do. Would also like to see just the cars.

I could see them doing Pop Rides... have they ever done cars without figures too?

I hope so. There's 20 drivers on the field at any time and at least half are worthy of being immortalized

Oh, that's another good idea. There is so much potential if they decided to embrace the sport

Not to my recollection, though I feel KITT was his own character and could've done without Michael Knight lol

They could also just do a generic car with no brands on it, not as good of a combination with the pop but kind of still with the "f1" car.

The livery colors are already pretty distinct for most of the teams, so it's not like they wouldn't be recognizable even without the sponsors.

The biggest problem I see with this line, is F1 is notoriously insane about licensing and the costs involved.

I’d love more than just the Mercedes guys (especially from the 80’s and 90’s *cough*Senna*cough*), but I think this is going to be very limited

Those 80s and 90s would be fun to see, little more interested in them.

Senna would definitely be top of the list for historical drivers. Also, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher

I think starting with Mercedes, which was top of the rankings for several years, is a good door opener. Hopefully it does relatively well and other teams decide to follow in their footsteps

The sport definitely is still not as popular in the US, but it's making headway. It's seen huge success internationally, so hopefully it's marketed well there — another reason to make some of the other drivers that are from other countries, like France, Australia, Spain, Mexico, etc.

i'm a fan and love the release but i not sold that the US sales will be anything special...international sales on the other hand should be massive.

The sport definitely is still not as popular in the US, but it's making headway. It's seen huge success internationally, so hopefully it's marketed well there — another reason to make some of the other drivers that are from other countries, like France, Australia, Spain, Mexico, etc.

When I went to Italy many moons ago they were all about it there, I think it was also close to a race weekend in Monaco.

You just say that because you’re an international man of mystery.

Lol I agree with US sales, I was raised being forced to watch 500 left turns and have since never gotten into racing unless it's backwoods figure 8 demolition bus races hahaha. I'm just now getting into F1 and it's actually very entertaining.

I’d love more than just the Mercedes guys (especially from the 80’s and 90’s *cough*Senna*cough*), but I think this is going to be very limited

Senna would definitely be top of the list for historical drivers. Also, Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher


When people ask who my heroes are, I always include Schumacher.

He’d do whatever it took to win, but had the raw skill and talent to do it easily.

In pop form, he’d be a must have.

I hope he recovers soon!

I went to the Australian GP in Adelaide…maybe 5 or 6 years in a row.

Such great memories :)

Speaking of circuits, perhaps at some point they could think of doing a pop ride moment. Either with two rides or with certain detains from different tracks. Dubai is a good example of that.
