Lewis Hamilton is the most iconic name in F1. The 38-year-old is a model, social activist, entrepreneur, rapper, and producer all at the same time. Yet, Joe Rogan couldn’t contain himself and labeled Lewis Hamilton and Co. as Psycho last year. The JRE podcast host is back again with another diss pointed at a Billion dollar brand that Lewis Hamilton endorses. What is this brand?

Joe Rogan is very well known for his UFC excursions. More than that, however, he is famous for his podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience. Last year, Andrew Schulz was featured on one of these podcasts with the UFC commentator as they discussed F1, Netflix’s DTS, and the teams. Talking about F1, Schulz said “I got really into that F1 during the pandemic. I watched Drive to Survive. The culture behind it is like they’re all f***ing kids, they’re all so competitive.” To which Rogan replied, “They’re psychos, yeah, they’re psychos!”

Joe Rogan, on a recent episode of the JRE podcast with Theo Von, decided to fire shots in the direction of Lewis Hamilton once again. However, this time around, it wasn’t aimed at him but a multibillion-dollar brand that he endorses. We are indeed talking about the energy brand Monster, which is worth $57.7 Billion. Mercedes’ sponsorship with the brand helped Lewis Hamilton with the endorsements when he joined the team back in 2013.

However, coming back to what Joe Rogan said. Joe Rogan dissed the brand on the podcast as he said, “Drinking like Monster energy drink sometimes, which are like p*ss magnets. They’re delicious but they make you want to pee.”

Nevertheless, a lot of brands out there want to get their name associated with an F1 team as it’s the fastest-growing sport in the world. An F1 car is essentially a huge billboard that is filled with sponsors who pay money to these teams. However, sponsoring isn’t the only way to be recognized in F1 as portrayed by Ryan Reynolds recently. 

Ryan Reynolds buys stake in the Alpine F1 team

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney took over Wrexham FC in 2021 and since then, the club has only been on the rise. Alpine was struggling a little as well. So, the company invited investors to invest in the company for a stake. Alpine was valued at somewhere around a Billion dollars. As a result of the investment, Alpine managed to raise $218 Million. 

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, along with Otro Capital and RedBird Capital Partners, acquired a 24% stake in Alpine. Let’s see if the investment is going to pay off. Ryan Reynolds was constantly spotted at Wrexham FC’s games. If the trend continues, we might get to see him track soon.
