Who has noticed Ryanair often posting about F1? The Irish airlines are peculiarly a little too much into the world of motorsports, giving their opinions now and then. Ever since F1’s increased popularity, the sport has gotten major sponsorships and intense attention from all kinds of businesses.

A new Netflix series! Drivers getting unscripted series! A movie documentary on an F1 legend!. You name it and F1 is there. From references all over the globe to celebrities crowding the paddocks, it’s all happening. F1 has grown so much that everyone wants to be a part of the sport in some capacity.

Safe to say, Ryanair also makes its move in the form of memes and comments now and then. In a recent tweet, they replied to a user who wrote, “You lot d******* F1 more than max does the piquets”.

This wasn’t the end to the banter as the airlines clapped back with an “even more than Horner does the FIA” comment. This single comment left Twitter flabbergasted over the airline’s attack on the Red Bull fan with a Christian Horner tweet.

Clearly, for a company that provides just flight services, they’re way too invested in the F1 world. If this is a sign of wanting to start a collaboration with any of the teams or just F1 by Ryanair, then who knows?

The F1 world has dealerships and sponsorships from all kinds of industries at this point of their growth. It could be a high probability that even this particular airline company joins it, or maybe not, after making a serious comment like that.

Turns out, funnily enough, Ryanair has also indeed tried to strike a relationship with Haas F1 earlier. Till now we’ve learned that they like to post a lot of memes and comments about F1, so they did the same with Haas. The airline had posted, “Ryanair livery in F1… nice. @HaasF1Team would be in our budget range.”

The American outfit did not take the “Budget” slander too well and wittingly replied, “Nah, you’re ok. We had enough of being last to our finishing destination last year.” This was clearly hilarious banter, where fans certainly enjoyed watching them go at each other!
