Any F1 racing fans here?

[LSeca]

First post in this section, wanted to share my Puma BMW Sauber F1 Team shoes. Pretty light weight and unique. I am surprised Puma is doing the Merc. AMG shoes as well as the BMW racing teams. Anyway, I hope you like the pics...I like the shoes alot.

I'm an F1 fan, but wouldn't that be the equivalent of, say, wearing Nike Seattle Seahawks cross-trainers (should such an oddity exist)? I understand the appeal for collection purposes if one were a major Sauber fan, but I can't imagine wearing them. Though admittedly, I look ridiculous in Pumas in general.

Those are pretty slick, did you buy them through Puma or BMW?

Big F1 fan. These look pretty good, not really my thing but not bad at all. Have you seen the range they make for Ferrari?

 

[Joffrey]

Those look pretty good. How much did they go for?

Sweet...I like those a lot.

Represent for the much-abused Puma!

Very nice shoes. Links to the AMG shoes? I am relly suprised they are doing AMG shoes. I always thought Merc shoes were done by ferregamo.

You could be correct, I handled a new pair of AMG shoes at Nords. and thought they were Pumas..I could be wrong.

Thaks for the complimetns fellas, I am very happy with them. I actually bought them through a BMW catolog.

Very nice! I have the normal Futurecat; they are very comfortable, even when walking for extended periods as I did last summer while back home...

...which is rather redundant since "tifosi" literally means "fans" in Italian...but then again, it seems the Ferrari fans are always known simply as "The Tifosi". Has anyone else wondered this? Perhaps someone can offer clarification

If you're a Ferrari fan, you're a member of the Tifosi, not a fan of them.To say one is a Tifosi fan would be to say that one is a fan of fans of Ferrari. The word Tifosi, while it has a literal meaning in Italian (apparently), is known at the very least outside of Italy as a Ferrari fan. I would be curious to know how the word is taken in Italy, but I would guess the specificity of the word depends on the context.
