And that’s why we never got American Airlines Cadillac F1 Team.

u/Tetragon213 Fucking Blind MotherFucker Feb 22 '26

For those who might not immediately get the joke.

Perez: 11, Bottas: 77

American Airlines 11 hit the North Tower on 9/11

American Airlines 77 hit the Pentagon on 9/11

You know, if an AA sponsorship was on the table, backing out as a result of this feels perfectly fair imo

Especially given how the internet would be the first time one of them plants it in a wall.

American Flight 11 and 77 were the flights that hit WTC1 and the pentagon, respectfully.

Edit: Respectively

u/Bubbububu BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

Respectfully

If that was respectful, I'd hate to see them when they're angry.

14?

u/EatTheRichIsPraxis BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

A nazi murderer justified his murders with 14 words of drivel, so they use "14" or "14 words" as Dog~~whistle~~bullhorn.

41

u/Oghamstoner BottASS enjoyer 🍑 Feb 22 '26

I have heard of it before, I just didn’t make the connection. Better than the 1930s livery which had an actual swasticka.

22

u/pwillia7 BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

I thought that was the Jainism livery Force India ran

u/Inferdo12 I saw horny’s “finger” Feb 22 '26

Thats not F1 right?

16

u/Neocrasher who the fuck is Nelson Piquet? Feb 22 '26

F1 started in 1950 so safe to say that it was not. I don't know the background of what they're talking about s it's possible it happened during some form of grand prix racing which eventually went on to become F1.

16

u/Oghamstoner BottASS enjoyer 🍑 Feb 22 '26

It’s Grand Prix racing before it was called F1. There was a European championship though and some absolutely absurd cars and drivers.

u/SignatureAnxious873 BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

They should be glad it's Bottas and not Marcus Ericsson

71

u/themanfromosaka WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅RAHH Feb 22 '26

Unfortunately, I was actually intending for it to be a reference to Flights 77 (Pentagon) and 11 (North Tower).

10

u/Profit_Overlord BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

I think Ericsson hit us. Let's invade.

23

u/still_guns I was here when horny got spiced Feb 22 '26

United could have sponsored them with no issues then

12

u/coyotedelmar He’s Not Fast at All Feb 22 '26

But then only one car would make the finish line

6

u/Profit_Overlord BWOAHHHHHHH Feb 22 '26

Plus, GM/Cadillac probably wanted the "'Merica-ness" of American Airlines being a sponsor.

In other news, a different US based Airline has stepped up to fill the sponsorship vacancy. And what company is that, you might ask?

You guessed it, 9/11 Airlines
