Tony Fernandes bought the rights to use the Lotus racing brand when he started a new team. They were sort of poo poo but tried hard and painted their cars a nice shade of green. Renault flaked out of F1 and Proton decided it was a good opportunity to remind people they own the Lotus road car brand and painted the car a lovely ripoff of the JPS Lotus livery. Tony Fernandes couldn't be arsed with the squabble and renamed his team Caterham e: What wicka said Tsaedje fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Mar 22, 2017 |

I think certain tracks will favour Ferrari, others Mercedes and Red Bull aren't actually that far off, so there's a decent chance of some competition for one or both of the championships, even if there's not much actual competition on the track (at the front)

Tony Montana posted:Nah, I've heard this a couple now. Honda America has nothing to do with Honda Japan. Just like HP was both HPE and HPT (HP Enterprise and HP Technology), they actually had nothing to do with each other. They've recently seperated, HPE is now just HPE and has it's own logo (which is dumb), but for the longest time anyone on the outside saw one 'HP' which was actually two totally separate companies doing totally different things. Go back to where I crap on about the ownership of Ferrari, which is a long and complicated musical chairs. Modern branding is a byzantine maze of theory and intuition and nobody really understand it other than the executive boards. HPE is now DXC.technology

wicka posted:DXC is just HPE's services/consulting/outsourcing arm. Of course, that's like half the company. The rest is still HPE. Yeah sorry HP Enterprise split into HP Enterprise and HP Enterprise Services and HP Enterprise Services merged with CSC to form DXC.technology

Best swivelcam moment I think was the camera swivelling backwards in sync with an overtake so it looked like a dickheadish turn and wave back as you pass
