Riccio, they shortchanged me, I need you to turn this into a real billion, STAT!!!

And everyone gets a new PS5 and NCAA football when it comes out if I win.

For sure I would hook up my buddies with a system and game.
Other than that, I am taking the lump sum. I will work with someone that people like professional athletes use to invest their money, pay off my house and bills, etc., upgrade the house a little and then enjoy life for a little while till I find a place to open my saltwater fish store.
There will definitely be some traveling in my future too.

And if you set up a trust George, you can set it up to where it disperses so much per year to your son.

We got any F1 fans in the NDL?

Every summer my boys go away with their grandparents, and I always find something weird or different to immerse myself into. This summer it's been F1, and I've gotten completely hooked on it.

Anyone else watch?



Also, Billy won't be my friend any more now that I watch F1.

I'm not hardcore, but I'm pretty well versed and try to watch when I can. Verstappen's following is a great spark for viewership and having LeClerc at a similar age should make for a nice long-term rivalry. LeClerc has to learn to keep it on the track though! Hamilton is on the backside of his career, but having Russell as a teammate keeps Mercedes in that top 3 manufacturer's spot with Red Bull and Ferrari.

As for Billy, I'm pretty up to date on NASCAR too, so if he wants to talk about Joe Gibbs playing with vinyl and screwing up a 1-2 finish, we can do that. (I'm not sad, I picked up about $150 thanks to their screw up)

I don't understand the F1 hype at all- just european nascar basically

Billiam proves once again that he is a man of wisdom.

I've been a fan the last couple years, even before I watched the Netflix series. Drive to Survive does a great job at giving a background story of how the drivers and teams have gotten to where they are now. I've followed it more closely this year than any.

I got into it just after Monaco this year. I did watch all of Season 4 from Drive to Survive. Just an absurdly interesting season/finish.

I've also gone back and watched all the Race in 30 races for this season as well on F1TV.

If I won the 600 million I’d buy up all the F1 teams and shut it down

Then they'd just take all that absurd money and just start it back up

That would be a good down payment for just 1 of the top teams.


Rookie!!!

Hah, exactly. I don't know exactly what a NASCAR team costs, but I'm sure you can get quite a few with that $600M. Meanwhile, I believe that Mercedes is now valued over $1B. Lewis Hamilton has hit the top 10 paid athletes in the world multiple times. I grew up with NASCAR, but it's basically MLS vs EPL.

I definitely could never get into NASCAR.

One of the appeals of F1 is unique tracks at every circuit and 90 minute races as opposed to NASCAR's mostly 4 left turn oval tracks and races 3+ hours, sometimes going for 5-6 hours.

F1 and NASCAR eh … … …
