Norns posted:So you legitimately think Honda road cars are poo poo because they are poor in F1? No not every person thinks like that If there wasn't some level of correlation then I'm pretty sure no car manufacturer would be in any form of motorsport. Not saying its actually true, I'm convinced its the opposite myself. But people are dumb as hell, eat up marketing and there's a reason car manufacturers will throw big money at poo poo like F1.

Yeah I understand the basic concepts of marketing. People have critical thinking skills though. Not everyone. But some?

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

There's huge correlation between brand image and the "big few" racing accolades (F1 constuctors, Le mans, etc). Ferrari's share price has been very largely pegged to the pre-season F1 pace and peaked when markets opened after Vettel's win

How long did that last, 6 months? The way massive multinationals choose to name and split themselves up is some black magic poo poo we all should probably just ignore.

DXC is just HPE's services/consulting/outsourcing arm. Of course, that's like half the company. The rest is still HPE.

Tony Montana posted:I bought Damon's book because it was highly recommended and so far it's boring as poo poo. He's just going on about being the son of a legend and I don't really give a gently caress about that, I want war stories and cool things that happened during his career. But I guess it's Damon Hill so I got what I deserved. Actually it's one of the best works of literature of all time

Ooh there are some places online that have extracts. I think this is a suitably droning (I like that word) piece about daddyDamon Hill posted:There were several people who were my father. There was the actual person who lived in the house and who went places with us, and there was the legend in the newspapers, on TV and at racetracks. There was the very serious man who did a very dangerous job, and there was the clown who made everything a big joke. I think I have a good handle on who Graham Hill was now, but when I was growing up, he was a demigod: a slightly intimidating but, at the same time, a lovely, generous, gregarious man who made our lives shine with light. more at: http://extracts.panmacmillan.com/extract?isbn=9781509831920 jesus christ shoot me. i paid for this Tony Montana fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Apr 6, 2017 |

It just looks like a helluva lot of ancestry.com and Graham Hill's book is likely a more interesting read, at least he was a good driver. e: fuckin' lol at whichever one of you misanthropes left a review on audible for Damon Hill's book probably a worst thread poster posted:"Not bad just so boring I couldn't continue."

I think I was hoping more for cool stories that happened behind the scenes during the days when F1 coverage was still pretty amateurish and not the wall-to-wall coverage on every little thing that we get with subscription channels now. But if I have to get through 12 hours of Damon Hill's childhood and family tree to hear them... well, life is simply too short.

No thats employment laws. Companies are no longer allowed to just ring fence people and at least need to make a show of advertising a job for equal opportunities, whether they already have filled the slot or not. We are always having to do this in the local authority where I work. Equal opportunities and all that, no room for discrimination. It really is all for show though as ring fencing still happens, you just have to look like your providing an equal platform for everyone to have a go.
