“Enthusiast With Money” Sylvester Stallone Wins Over the F1 World With 6 Iconic Images

Film stars always have a presence in proximity to F1, especially during showpiece events like the Monaco GP. In the past few decades, there have been several celebrities who attended a lot of F1 races. Especially since the growth of the sport in the US, many Hollywood actors and actresses have got a racing fever. Although, amongst them, Sylvester Stallone is probably one of the earliest fans of F1. The fandom of the veteran actor about Formula 1 has become evident through the years. Recently, fans appreciated how Stallone has met with several F1 stars in his time to date.

A Reddit user posted a collage of Sylvester Stallone posing with different F1 drivers through the years. It contains 6 iconic images that give a nice nostalgic flavor of how the “Rocky” star has been a big F1 enthusiast. The collage first has Stallone’s picture with legends like Niki Lauda and Ayrton Senna. This picture shows Lauda standing beside a stylish Stallone with goggles on, while it has McLaren legend Ayrton Senna with his team cap on.

Another picture also shows Sylvester enjoying a nice mock-up fight with 7-time champion Michael Schumacher. The two icons look absolutely comfortable having a nice friendly fight with Michael having a wide grin. Stallone also met David Coulthard and Damon Hill back then.

Meanwhile, in recent times, the American star has also had a picture with current champion Max Verstappen. Fans loved to reminisce about this collage of pictures reflecting Stallone’s love and passion for Formula 1. It shows how even through the years, he maintains his fandom and has seen so many world champions. This Stallone-F1 collage certainly won over the F1 world easily.

Fans Amazed to See the Journey of Sylvester Stallone as an F1 Fan

Several fans on Reddit recalled the different moments that connected Sylvester Stallone with F1. Many even cited how Stallone made an “abomination” of a movie on racing – Driven. While it was on IndyCar, the movie was supposed to be about F1. Either way, even Lewis Hamilton roasted this movie made on a $72 million budget.

Regardless, it is the American star’s sheer passion for the sport that keeps him close to these world champions and other stars. Fans still love Stallone for giving them such iconic moments with their beloved drivers.

In the recent 2022 US Grand Prix, Apple CEO Tim Cook waved the checkered flag. Looking at how unenthusiastically Cook waved the flag certainly makes fans demand logic to get someone like Sylvester Stallone to do the job.

It would have made complete sense and Stallone would have been so much more lively waving the flag at the finish. The man at 76 is still amazingly energetic and pumped!
