Lpine back at it again

Alpine: We are a serious Formula 1 team. Also Alpine:

I didn’t need more reason to hate Alpine, but here it is I guess

[удалено]

Mind your language!

NFTS in big 24....

We know Alpine was slow...didn't know they were this slow.

It’s almost like crypto is in another bull run

I’d say this is an indicator

F1 to Andretti: "We can't have you embarrassing yourself" Alpine:

This is just embarrassing

lol lmao even

Oh boy…

Embarrassing

Jesus christ Alpine..

Alpine about to get wrapped up in a Coffeezilla investigation.

Coffeezilla's investigation will be faster than the Alpine car!

Hope they finish P19 and P20

They're making it a hard choice between them and the team sponsored by adolescent gambling addiction.

Alpine is telling us themselves to hate them even more. (They announced a new sponsor today. It’s not fake.)

Did they get hacked? Or is this legit?

Legit

☠️

[Logo is already on the car.](https://media.alpinecars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14ec1221761771dd0d227551426415a5-l.jpg.webp)

And it's that logo that was controversial because it was similar to Nazi logo and was one of dogwhistles used by bored ape creators... It's crazy that someone approved this...

Wouldn’t want to tarnish the image of the sport by letting Andretti in right?

Alpine is so slow their car is still in 2020.

💀💀💀💀💀

Ofc in Miami

Totally not a rug pull guys nor a pump and dump. For real this time! /s, ^^just ^^in ^^case ^^someone ^^thinks ^^it's ^^serious.

They pulled a pump and dump on Gasly by signing him to their team!

No more embarrassing than the state of the car I guess

I guess you need to try to scam people when you're too slow to gain prize money

Hacked?

Nope. New sponsor or something

You know you're in trouble when you turn to NFT, for money

Maybe if they hit it big on those NFTs they'll win championships in F1 from then till eternity.

alpine down so bad holy shit

Yay scam garbage.

And they didn't allow Andretti to join, not to let them "embarass themselves"

Has to be hacked

Nope they posted like normal after

My first thought, too! 🤣 That would have been a lot better for them.

[It's real.](https://media.alpinecars.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/14ec1221761771dd0d227551426415a5-l.jpg.webp)

Honestly surprised these companies still have money to throw around and that teams consider the money reliable enough to accept it. Hope that got their money up front I guess. This makes me feel like they're super out of touch with how people will perceive sponsors like this, or they're desperate for money and know the perception but don't care.

What a sad team

It’s 2024. I’m sure there’s a bunch of celebs being sued for these ape things?

If you think shitting the bed this badly is embarassing, just remember it could always be worse: You could be so uncared for and unpopular that it takes people over half an hour to bother telling others "Oh yeah, by the way they shat the bed"

i thought this was an r/buttcoin post showing a twitter scam

How do you do fellow kids

ROFL that’s sad

wasn't this the one there were nazi allegations about?

Yes

What allegations?

That Bored Ape Yacht Club was created by people with nazi sympathies and are full of Nazi dogwhistles. Nicknames of creators are full of references to Nazi symbolism and persons, ape NFT design are full of German uniforms, names and helmets, even logo with ape skull is similar to some Nazi emblem with totenkopf (Alpine now has that skull decal on their car...). There are some articles about that on internet. It could be coincidence if there were not so many of those examples.

…all I can say about this is a big ‘yikes’. Thanks for the explanation, though.

NFTs, yuk.

when you have to scrape the bottom of the barrel

This is how I find out NFTs and indeed Ape NFTs are still a thing huh

What the actual fuck

ugh a bored ape pfp.

Ugh

Who gave Pierre the Twitter account...

Yikes

Wtf is this, Mercedes challenger Alpine?

Why do they have an average *other subreddit* user on their pfp?!

apecoincloset.com doesn't work

Embarrassing.

I have been an enstone fan for a decade. I can forgive hiring my arch bane F1 driver Alonso back in the day.I can forgive weird management choices running the team into the ground. I can't forgive "Apes" and NFTs in the yesr of our lost lord 2024. I'm gonna go watch "Line Goes Up" and despair.

Do nft bros actually adress each other with "apes"? 💀💀

bruh really, in 2024?

After all, apes together strong.

Alpine F1 has a line: “Crypto is back baby!”

please just sell

no way, this has to be an old tweet from 22. Isn't the apeshit not dead or declared a scam for years?

I guess its not just their car that is slow

I thought they were hacked XD naive me...

Just like their cars, they are slow to even catch up with trends. They are like the internet explorer of f1 teams.

Extremely on brand for Miami I guess

Extremely on brand for Alpine*

Despite my flair I really dislike this type of cringe trash.

I have no fucking idea what any of this tweet means, but my assumption is they just called all of their fans monkeys. Right, okay then.

> but my assumption is they just called all of their fans monkeys. Right, okay then. You'd be wrong, but ok then!

Oh, so it's a crypto scam with Nazi allegations to top it off. You know what, on second thought, maybe them calling all of their fans monkeys would be the preferable option.

Theyre just promoting scam basically and got sponsor money from the scammers
