Sending Letters to Every F1 Team (2 replied!)

What did you think?

Live The Dash has tried some of Formula 1's most expensive tickets. This time, the route to a souvenir starts with a stamp.

In "Sending Letters to Every F1 Team (2 replied!)", the presenter posts letters to the teams ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix, then shows what came back: a double-sided Racing Bulls driver card and Mercedes driver cards.

The Short has reached roughly 165,000 views in little more than half a day. A usual first day for the channel's Shorts brings around 50,000, making this a particularly brisk start for an experiment conducted through the post rather than the paddock.

Wearing a blue Mercedes shirt and cap, the presenter explains that almost every team publishes a dedicated fan-mail address on its website. Cutaways follow the decidedly low-tech process: write the letter, address the envelope and send it. His suggestion is to politely ask for a little memorabilia in return. Brief greetings from George Russell and Kimi Antonelli also appear.

Viewers are comparing their own attempts, asking how long the replies took and picking out the cards they would most like to receive. The Mercedes cards attract particular attention, while Liam Lawson supporters have their eyes on the Racing Bulls reply. The experiment produced souvenirs, but not a full grid's worth: only those two teams answered.
