it's been a thing since 2007 and only gotten less visible by the year. they had literally no presence in the team at all this year. makes no sense.

Santander had a poster advert not too long ago with a slogan something like "Delivering more wins" and featuring Jessica Ennis and whoever the other guy they use is. Conspicuously absent: J Button, Esq.

I only use Shell V-Power Nitro Plus EX+ Alpha Championship Edition: Revengeance, either that or the fancy tesco stuff which works about the same. Esso sucks rear end and only does 97ron compared to 99ron, which is probably why McLaren are poo poo.

they were on mclaren's firesuits last year and then vanished, but have been listed as a "partner" on mclaren's website all year. kind of wonder if this means a return to actual sponsorship or if they require some kind of deal with mclaren in order to keep button around.

tbh I think it speaks volumes about how Lewis is managed by stylists and has no actual style of his own that when he had an opportunity "Pimp" a plane out and create a style of his own, instead of having graphics that highlight his passions and individuality, he had it painted ferrari red.

It's clearly not a new spygate because ferrari are saying we had talks with the guy but no actual agreement between us was made and you cant prove otherwise, but the details about what this guy was doing is damning and makes the security at Mercedes look really poo poo given that he was only busted when someone accidentally glanced at his laptop screen.

I used to drive past a bus shelter with one of their posters in it. "Winners keep on winning", I think the slogan was, with a big ol pic of Jense smiling away.

It lasted quite long into this season until it was unceremoniously torn down one day.
