Obviously some marketing stunt or whatever, but it’s incredibly cringey. This screenshot is from their !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! page.

This is on their !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! feed

And this Exhaustus, whatever they mean by it, is doing some more cringe inducing things. What are they going to reveal? What the hell do they mean with “Lily-Livered Plans”?

I believe it’s a mobile game, a new season of their cartoon or something similar. Just weird that they’re doing this the same day they announced their new sponsor, Chandon.

Edit: I think they are going to announce a new season of !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , or some other Saturday Morning cartoon:

Saw this from r\formula1

I’m losing every last shred of love I have had for McLaren for the last 5 years of watching F1.

...but it’s incredibly cringey.

So, it's basically in-line with their performance in 2015.

I think that they might have consumed too much of their new sponsor’s product.

I dunno why, but Exhaustus as a super-villain name is just cracking me up. Sounds exactly like the kind of cheesy stuff grown-ass men in suits working for big corporations think is what is “hip” and “cool” with kids at any particular time.

I think someone named Exhaustus would be too tired to get any villiany done.

I know this bs has exhausted me. Has it exhausted you? Then I guess it has exhaustus.

I figured he was really just a TDI owner and his super-power was slowly killing the entire world’s population over time from cancer and lung disease.

So they’ve properly given up, then. Makes sense.

Maybe he secretly works for Elon Musk, and his goal is to get us all to buy Model X’s, with its bioweapon defense mode, or die. Elon Musk will then use his Model X money to terraform Mars by detonating thermonuclear weapons over its poles.

Ha. Elon is so close to a real-life super-villain that this doesn’t even sound as far-fetched as it should!
