oh come on!!! what happened to the good old f1? the f1 that didn’t give a rats ass about the environment, the f1 that didn’t have all these new rules??

if he buys a team f1 will be dead for me
next thing you know paris hilton will have her own team

What’s the problem if he is committed to winning?

Okay. No one cares what you think after, If after, a BLACK man who has money, he made himself, Legit, decides to spend some of that money on a racing team. There’s nothing wrong with it and you know it. I think you’re just ignorant to the fact that people other than white like auto racing as well.

Diddy, buys and maintains a strong and winning team, It will give aspiring black drivers a road into the second whitest sport in the world (Hockey is the first).

Oh, and Paris Hilton… she’d bang them before she every considered buying them… as if she could. Unlike Diddy, Paris still has to get an allowance.

As for the environmental aspect in racing, a LOT of companies use Formula racing to develop tech for use in consumer products. Honda is really pushing Ethanol, Audi works Diesel (mostly in prototype racing), and still more. Green is in and if they want to sell it, hey have to make it good. Racing improves the breed. But you wouldn’t know that.

Yes, I know all the racist xxxx-mouths are going to chime in now. I’ve thrown in my two cents.

i’m with ya, Blakkarr.

To upcoming peeps, Leave ur racist comments out of this area and TALK about this article. A celebrity buying a F1 team. Thats it! Who cares about his color and etc. Geez

I agree, he has sold music sucessfully as well as a clothing line to add, hes a very sucessful man, he should be accredited for attempting this. race doesnt play a part of this.

If I had the money, I’d buy an F1 team too. Hellz yeah.

he owns BBE too, theres nuthing to be against him for doing this.

blakkar – if that was for me i would like to know why you think i’m a racist?
all i was trying to say was basically that f1 is changing the rules, making things less exciting than before and if celebrities start buying teams now where will it end? will it be 1 maybe 2 celebs buying teams or will it be 10?
and paris was just an sarcastic example.

a think the first guy had a problem with him being a celebrity not the race he was…you might have jumped the gun Blakkar but in todays world I understand why.

Lame. That’s all I gotta say in here. Next article, please.

Hopefully if he does buy a team then I hope its one at the back of the grid cos he will only ruin any major team. I don’t think he could actually afford any better then maybe a spyker ot torro rosso but they have been brought by wealthier financier anyway.

P.s. Plus leave Hamilton where he is. Leave him where he atleast has half a chance

He’s worth about 400million bucks. He’s got the cash and the credit to really by anything.

No way Torro Rosso would ever sell. Also no way Hamilton is going anywhere, he’s been pals with Ron Dennis since he was 9.

I think it’s cool. Even though I think his various names are lame, Sean Combs alone is more successful than all the posters on this board combined ever will be.

Now when the scientologists buy a team let me know. Or better yet the Amish.

So long as he doesn’t try making F1 more popular i am fine because F1 is still genuine racing without any of that media bull****. Once it starts becoming mainstream it will go from racing to entertaining. P.S. I personally prefer racing. I will shoot myself if F1 becomes an entertainment sport. Aside from that if I were him I would already have a racing team. But I guess it is better late then never for him.

MC Hammer did REAL well with throughbreds didnt he.

I would expect no less from PDiddy in F1………ROFLMFAO!

So quick to throw out the race card. Take a chill pill everyone. I hope I don’t live in a world where only white people are “allowed” to be criticized. With that said, I think he’s an arrogant ass. I’ve seen his interviews, I’ve heard his lyrics, he’s an ass. If he can actually manage an F1 team great, I’ll have a shred of respect for him. Otherwise I’d prefer him to contain his arrogance to the other labels he already has.

I don’t care if he is black, white, green with pink spots or MochaFrappachino. The real issue is what business sense does it make for him to purchase an F1 team?

How will this help him market his “brand” to his target audience? Perhaps he sees Hamilton as the opening to a new market, the African/Asian/English young educated market. I dunno, maybe not. I think Lewis is the best thing to happen to F1 since Chunky Chapman invented downforce. but I don’t see where Puffy dropping several HUNDRED mill large does much other than buy him the best seats in the paddock. But then, maybe I am not privy to the new 2008 Diddy MK 9 sedan soon to be introduced.

Makes a good story, anyhow….and perhaps Paris wants to buy a team so she had first shot at hot, new stud drivers. Remember, Nebraska is like Paris Hilton, flat, white and easy to enter!

“He’s worth about 400 million bucks. He’s got the cash and credit to really buy anything.” ….. not really. I think Ferrari spends about 300 million a year just to fund their team, and they aren’t even the highest funded team. (toyota is, but they suck) Diddy would have to give up most of his money just to fund a team for one year, although there would also be other sponsers to help him out with the cost.

LoveMyAP2 he’s worth $346 million not 400 idiot get your facts straight
so what it he’s

if he gets richer then good for him so what if he’s BLACK whats wrong with being BLACK and rich???????????????????? he should go for it as for paris hilton owning an F1 team??????????????????? ha ha bitch please that would when geroge bush stops sleeping with Bin Laden

LP640 I said “about 400 million” Get a life you tool.

kafkef,

Sorry if I came off that way, however this kind of article is easy fodder for racist comment, so I cut it off as best as I could fast. You’re comment may be directed toward his being a celeb as someone else mentioned, but your statement was too non-descript and open to reinterpretation toward a nastier end.

Oh and I know Paris Hilton was a joke. She is a joke that most of us have stopped laughing at quite a while ago.

hey he’s paid his dues to be where he is now not like paris hilton like some of you are complaining. paris hilton inherited her money she didnt do anything to desserve it if diddy has the money to spend on an f1 team power to him. he desserves it.

If he really want to spend all his entire earning on a back of the track team then goodluck to him but in a sport where companies like toyota spend 2 Billion pound (Thats 4 billion dollars) £180 million pound (360 million dollars) won’t get you further then second to last at best

blakkar – yeah, my bad there on the first post. with people like ‘need for speed’ here above me i fully understand you.

Even though I don’t like Sean Puffy’s music, I do think he is talented. I don’t think he will put 24″ crome rims on the cars. Sean is a very successful entertainer who has knows many things about the business world.

Piablo, even though you’re a total corny xxx from the midwest, I agree with you on this one.

Diddy is a xxxxxxx tool. This is another example of him trying to hobnob with elite eurotrash by dabbling in their hobbies (haute couture, fragrances, now racing). He should stick to what he does best – remixing singles for rappers/singers that eclipse him and shut his mouth.

Letterman owns a team so Its nothing new if Combs buys one. I have a feeling like if he does buy it, he won’t be involved in it. He will hire some one who knows what they are doing to make decisions for him. He’ll just show up at the races with some broad and go look I own that car, and rap about how he’s got so much money he can own an f1 team.

The problem is Diddy has many distractions in his life, ladies, parties and more ladies. We need our man Lewis focused on driving and nothing else.

The way I see it, Combs should buy an F1 team. I like watching F1, but I don’t get the Speed channel. What better way to increase F1’s U.S. exposure than have a trendy celebrity (whether or not you agree with that or not) buy a team. I doubt he’d manage the team, because what the heck does he know about world-class racing, but if he can front the cash, attract advertising, and raise F1’s U.S. popularity, there’s no down side.
Hamilton definitely should stay where he’s at, though.

Diddy should by in to GP2 not F1.
F1 is for the mega rich companies. Toyota burns the equivalent of Dddy’s personal wealth in 1 year.
Other than that I say if Fisichella can do it Diddy can too.

At least it’s not NASCAR

Thats right at least Nascar has standards. No racial dumb****s allow. Good luck though if F1 goes rap F1 will croak overnight. Once you go black you can’t come back. :-p

Bernie Ecclestone: “Hey Ron….there goes the neighborhood.”

Ron Dennis: “No ****.”

LOL Renton. Question: How they gonna fit double dub wheels on his F-1 cars?

http://premiumposts.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/escalade_white.jpg

prototype of new Team Diddy F1 car

Out of 15 minutes of fame, “diddy-daddy-p-man” is on minute number 11.

With only 4 minutes of fame left, he can’t afford to KEEP the team going.

Buying is easy, making it go for years is expensive when fame fades away.

If Diddy follows his music model to achieve success in F1 he will steal…er I mean “sample” parts from successful F1 teams.

His car and team will be from parts of Ferraris, McLarens and Renaults.

Its called “sampling” not stealing.

Renton – it takes talent and vision to “sample” other musician’s tracks… Okay, maybe it only takes a karaoke machine but it’s difficult for him none the less.

Piablo — It takes talent to a point, no doubt. Talent which I do not posses either. Its not like he actually wrote the original **** either. How many times now do hear a classic rock song from the 70s or 80s only to realize some hip-hop slag has turned that great riff into some other dance song for retards.

The most recent assault for me was Supertramp’s Breakfast In America. Have you heard that abomination?

Renton, the only abomination is you liking Supertramp. That, and your inexplicable, incessant lust for fat ****. Abominable indeed.

Deanster –LOL!

Deantj: man, you are brutal.

NASCAR is for people to dumb to understand the concept of turning left AND right on the track. Maybe the retards are mesmerized by the circular motion.
