MS headed home after the race....

He's got that Sonic The Hedgehog paint job.

 

Nice. What do the other drivers and head hanchos (of the teams and F1) fly on, if they own a jet?

 

There was a thread, but I don't remember which section it was in. Ron Dennis has a black/silver jet, but not sure what it is now since their F1 cars have changed colors. Ralf has a small Citation iirc. I remember him piloting it as well. He had a pink shirt on from the pic if it's the one I'm thinking of. There was a pic of the Renault jet, too.

Edit: And the BMW Gulfstream GV.

See the tail number? 13 M W. Nifty.

 

1.) Ron Dennis (Challenger 604)
2.) Flavio (Challenger 601)
3.) Rubinho (Embraer Legacy)
4.) Bernie (Boeing BBJ2)

Ralf flies a Raytheon 390 Premier I. Coulthard formerly owned a LearJet 35A (fortunately he's still around). Mark Webber owns a 525 CitationJet.

wow...bernie's is huge. rubens's looks very nice

 

When you have a $3 Billion or so net worth, a $50 million or so jet is not much.

 

Those are insane!

Owning and operating a jet is just a whole other league of wealth. You gotta have stupid money for that. Having said that, the one pic of the BMW jet with Mark Webber's initials............I have to believe that is a team jet, not his own. I can't imagine he's earned enough money to be able to have a personal jet.

 

Which picture are you talking about? The one I posted? 13 M W is B M W. 13 is B.

 

The jets on this side of the Atlantic in NASCAR is nearly as impressive as well.

 

Errrrrr...could you rephrase that?

 

Naw, I understood when describing Bernie E, he did meant the jet.

 

I thought a bigger private jet means smaller penis.

 

Yep...so does having one of those huge Ford trucks with a 40" lift driving on the streets, or a big hummer with lots of bling...

maximum gayness

 

hhahaha

 

I'll take the jet over the Ford.

 

cool jets.

 

Hmmmm, I thought Ferrari and it's drivers all used Piaggio Aero exclusively. Piero IS a managing owner of Piaggio Aero IIRC.

the big Antonov An-24 is used by ferrari for the F1 crew for the races in Europe and Ferrari have tow of them

 

holy ****...michael has 3 planes?

 

No. The Challenger 601 (VP CMC) was sold for a Dassault Falcon 2000 (VP CGM). That aircraft was since sold for an upgraded Falcon 2000EX (HB JEG).

As for the Antonov, it's now used by Balkan Airlines for cargo flights out of Bulgaria.

 

Interesting that the Challenger and Falcon were registered out of the Cayman Islands and the newest one is in Switzerland. The planes that are suppose to be Webber's and Bernie's, carry US registration. Taxation.

If you're referring to the BMW plane picture I posted, it's the BMW corporate jet, not Mark Webber's. The tail number 13 M W stands for B M W.
