This is a fun idea! Some of the tracks have very cool looking shapes too

They should make some remote control pop rides for the track. First of its kind!!

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.

they definitely could do that!

That would be something different.

Have a couple of friends that are huge fans of F1 sport racing, they’re pretty excited about a pop line, but definitely want to see some pop rides. I think this will happen if this line proves to be popular…just my opinion.

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 feel with Nascar, you can stop watching the whole middle of the race because so little happens. F1, there's almost always something happening because it's more than just one-way turns. And that's especially true for this season

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!

Yes, he was a great driver. I hope his health improves too. And that he's able to enjoy watching his son Mick on the track

I think so. The number of sponsors on a car shouldn't be hindrance

I think if they market overseas, maybe even merch booths at races, it could definitely take off

I rarely make it to the halfway point at all lol

! I'm making it a goal of mine to give more F1 a chance.

My friend is super into Formula 1 racing and he sends me out of context memes, so for that reason alone I would buy some for him XD

Love F1, the whole vibe at the race is something you don't experience at any other motorsport race. The whine of the engine reaches a level the others don't but without rupturing your eardrums.

We have some Indy car races in St Petersburg that I've been to, not sure if that's the same thing lol

total noob

That could be possible, merch is big at events.

I wonder what the price point would be. Could you imagine once they finally get the Nintendo license, they could make Mario Kart RC Pop Rides? Lol

I'm hoping to attend a race in-person soon. We missed tickets for this season, but they used to do Indy in my city and even a fair distance from the track I could hear the cars racing around.

I'd think as soon as they're available, they'll be in the merch stands — but someone will have to confirm lol

Hopefully it would at least be comparable to current similar toys

Need to go in store at GameStop to preorder Hamilton and Bottas. Going to need every single F1 Pop.

We have a pretty big Indy race in St Pete, I feel like it's usually in Spring?? I'll have to try and go this year, maybe Max would like it?

Michael Schumacher is the man. I met Juan Pablo Montoya at Long Beach Grand Prix, cool dude. Mika Häkkinen Is one of my favorites too.
