be nice wicka posted:but again, this has nothing to do with what he's saying It is though, he's talking about promoting the sport in order to strengthen it as a brand and bring new fans and money in Senna passively promoted the sport and brought international fans into it simply by being Senna, in his home country he actively promoted it by saving the lives of tens of millions of poor people. If you look at the current grid, Alonso brought an entire country into the sport, the massive crowed in Mexico were in part down to there being a Mexican driver on the grid, Rio has millions of new Indonesian fans tuning in to support him, the Chinese have made Kimi their guy for unexplained reasons, Kvyat has the Russians watching and a stand named after him and so on. English speaking media don't report on what forrins do in their home countries so we get a very warped view of things. Lewis may be doing a great job promoting himself on social media but it's a teenage audience, the adult fan base who actually buy race tickets are abandoning him like a sinking ship and switching to Palmer or Pascal Nameiwillneverbeabletospell. It's also rather unfair of him to say other drivers do nothing when those poor bloody Toro Rosso drivers are made to do all of those Red bull events when they are not racing while he's cocking about in America wearing silly clothing. I suspect Marko has a cage. learnincurve fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Apr 19, 2016 |

I agree with forums poster be nice wicka. Hammy seems to be all over the place promoting F1 to audiences that wouldn't necessarily know about it otherwise. I still think he's a massive twat, but technically he's probably right. It doesn't mean he's the right person to promote F1 or he's doing it correctly, but he is doing quite a bit of it.

Being recognized with a Kardashian or grinding some Brazilian street performer isn't promoting a sport. I highly doubt the followers of these endeavours actually watch F1 or subsequently give a toss about it either. e: I don't think anyone actively promotes the sport outside of scheduled media appearances and advertisements which are part of their contracts anyway.

learnincurve posted:Not by a long shot even on this tiny lovely little Island. In my youth Hill and Mansell were household names and loving everywhere on mainstream TV, it's only been since the year 2000 that Satellite/Cable became a thing and for most of TV history we only had 2-4 channels and they used to be switched off for the night, and sometimes not switched on again till 12pm well into the late 90s. F1 had ludicrous viewing figures mostly because there was nothing else on TV. And this is the truth. Britain loving loved The Lion Mansell, and Hill was dear to our hearts with the father son equation. Noone gives a gently caress about Lewis.

Lewis is a nerdy little kid from Stevenage who now has the opportunity to hang out with famous people. I find it hard to criticise him very much, even though I would probably find him very annoying to actually be around.

Britain loved Lewis when he was just some awkward kid coming from nowhere beating the cheating Spaniard in his rookie year, then he started opening his mouth and it turned out he was an egotistical little tit and it all went downhill from there really. The pussycat doll didn't help.

This is the thing, British people don't think he's a playboy or particularly outrageous, and when people I mean the middle aged middle class fans who disliked Hunt, they think he's trying too hard and dressing like a chavvy twat with too much money and no taste. We see far more drunken debauchery and shocking behaviour from every day people on a Friday night. For more information (NSFW) google Cardiff after dark.

I rate many celebrities like this and it is in my opinion a valid option. Lewis I fear, If I went for a drink with him, would end up getting my head kicked in, in my local pub because of his twatery.

Vladimir Putin should be "running" Europe and Donald Trump would make a "fantastic" American president, the Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has claimed. The 85-year-old chief executive of the Formula One Group added that he was “100 per cent an outer” when it came to the EU referendum and said he believed immigration has brought no benefits whatsoever to Britain. Speaking at Advertising Week Europe in London, he told the WPP chief executive, Sir Martin Sorrell: “I think Europe has become less important, full stop. Russian President Vladimir Putin walks to meet Palestinian National Authority Russian President Vladimir Putin walks to meet Palestinian National Authority As it was pointed out that he is a great admirer of Putin, Ecclestone responded: “He should be running Europe.” Asked if he should be in Brussels "running Europe?” he replied: “No, we should get rid of Brussels and he should just be in charge. “He does what he says he’s gonna do, he gets the job done. I mean people don’t understand exactly what he wants to do ... He wants to put Russia back to what it was.” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Asked on his views of the Republican favourite, Donald Trump, he said: “I think he’d be fantastic [as president]. “I’m sure he’s much more flexible than most of them. If he’s made a mistake, he’s more likely to say: ‘It was a good idea at the time.’”

In all this racist talk about Their Lewis, I never got a real answer to why Kimi is huge in China. Although I liked the answer about them not being able to pronounce "Lewis".
