Other than advertising on an (occasionally) rolling billboard run by the least-regarded team on the grid and a racing seat for the boss's gropey failson, it's hard to see what Uralkali - who sell fertiliser - are getting out of F1. The whole thing's got to be some kind of tax dodge, surely? At most, a way for a bunch of low-tier Russian oligarchs to blag invitations to yacht parties in Monaco.

Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard.



According to the Haas website:

quote:

Uralkali is a leading international potash fertilizer producer with a significant share of global potash production.

The company’s strategy aims to ensure its comprehensive development and retain its leading positions in the sector.

The company’s assets consist of five mines and seven ore treatment plants in the towns of Berezniki and Solikamsk (Perm Region, Russia). Uralkali employs more than 12,000 people in its main production unit.


A lot of Potash buyers probably watch F1

i urge everyone to check out the haas website, especially the store where great deals on merch can be found

It’s illegal peat he’s selling. Like that thing where you look at a satellite picture of Russia and go “holy poo poo where did that lake go”. Only with moorland.

Anyway most countries have banned peat farming because it’s massively destructive to the environment and like with pine forests moorland needs careful management so you don’t gently caress the planet, only the garden centres still somehow manage to sell sacks and sacks of the stuff - this is where daddy marzipan comes in.

He will want to use the F1 to not only network but so that at parties he can be the F1 guy not the peat guy.

Personally I'm glad F1 has a sponsor that's directly causing ecological harm. You can't let the sponsors who commit massive human rights abuses have the spotlight alone.

I mean it's a way of injecting large sums of money into the US and EU financial systems under legitimate pretenses and Mazepin The Elder isn't even sanctioned. Viktor Vekselberg, who is under sanctions, straight up bought a couple ferrari/bentley/lotus dealerships for his dumbass kid and has been laundering his money by providing financing to the dealerships' holding company. When he bought the one in Denver it was also a Maserati dealer and Maserati got so sketched out by their refusal to disclose financials that they sued them to have them immediately stop selling Maseratis.

Yeah it does own because you know how most dealerships have super conceited owners who do things like have huge pictures of themselves on the website? Not this guy, doesn't even list his whole name and just has a footnote about "a guy named aleks who loves cars"

I reread the case to make sure I was right about them suing immediately and they actually warned them before they closed on the sale that if they didn't open their books before closing the sale they'd sue them, and followed through with it. Sued for a bunch of different trademark/trade practice violations, breach of contract, etc and also sent copies of their letters to the state and federal revenue authorities lol

I mean honestly I did make a comment to someone that I was suprised nobody died in the last Moto3 race because that was just a loving brutal dogfight of a race. The whole points positions were covered by a few tenths at a couple of stages.
