Re: The return of Credit Card backed teams?
First, they came for the tobacco sponsorship, and I did not speak out, because I was not a smoker.
Then, they came for the alcohol sponsorship (at least in Islamic dictatorships such as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, France...), and I did not speak out, because I was drunk.
Then, they came for the alcohol sponsorship everywhere, and I did not speak out, because I was hung over.
Then, they came for the bookies and the casinos and the online gambling services (most of which were Chinese, for some reason), and I did not speak out, because I was neither The Angel nor The Gambler.
Then, they came for the fast food companies, and I did not speak out, because I was not a candidate for an appearance on My 600lb Life.
Then, they came for the energy drinks, and I did not speak out, because they gave me palpitations.
Then, they came for the vapes, and I did not speak out, because I was too busy pointing and laughing at the hipsters with their battery-powered fog machines.
Then, they came for everything else that the World Health Organisation denounced as "problematic", and there was nothing left to sponsor the F1 teams, who had to get by with 75p and a packet of Rolos... except that Rolos were already banned.
Then, they came for motorsport itself...
Somehow, Ferrari continued selling very expensive branded merchandise.

James Allen, on his favourite F1 engine of all time:
"...the Life W12, I can't describe the noise to you, but imagine filling your dustbin with nuts and bolts, and then throwing it down the stairs, it was something akin to that!"
