Y'all are doing a great job of demonstrating why tobacco sponsors shouldn't be allowed in F1, if you'd asked me before reading this I'd have scoffed and said "No-one is dumb enough to start smoking just because they saw it on a race car, let them have the sponsors back" but there you go

Isn't the issue more they already smoke, but make their choice of brand based on sponsorship?

If you give Rosberg a car that is going to win every race, and he's focused enough, he'll challenge a significantly better driver to a point where all he needs is a tiny bit of luck to beat him.

A tiny bit of luck, give me a loving break, it took Niki Lauda mashing a big red button labeled "Blow up the Brit's engine" while cackling at several different races

I think they're mostly streaming career mode and you can only start in Sauber/Toro Rosso/McLaren in that. (Last year iirc swap McLaren for Renault there)

This is straight wrong?

You can career mode as anybody.

I got a wheel 5 years ago and its still in perfect condition. They're expensive but so are game consoles or computers or race cars or anything fun.

why can't marlboro put out a vape pen and then advertise MARLBORO vape pens on the side of the ferrari.

poo poo they should sell bottled water or something, that's a pretty genius scheme

I don't smoke cigs except when I'm drunk around friends who smoke, but drat if I don't miss the cigarette liveries

Its weird they don't allow cig advertisements but there's alcohol everywhere, even on the loving steering wheel (talk about mixed messages "please don't drink and drive! Now check out this sick Johnnie Walker steering wheel")

Never really understood this line of thinking. Putting an alcohol ad on a car doesn't imply drinking alcohol while driving a car.

It depends on the circumstances but I'd say if your developing a car go for speed first over everything else. Reliability comes later.

Usually the way to get more reliability is to run things at slower settings anyway so always design for speed

You can tell millenials / aka the permanently offended generation don't watch F1 because there aren't lovely Salon articles titled "We need to talk about grid girls".

Grid girls are fine. The only thing I read about grid girls is the Spanish race in MotoGP was getting a bit upset over it and wanted to have grid dudes as well so it's gender neutral which I'm also fine with.

I don't disagree, but smokers don't get to the level of dysfunction where they gently caress up their entire lives and need rehab. There is a level of double standards when it comes to 'here's what you're allowed to advertise and here's what you're not,' especially given that Philip Morris just extended their deal with Ferrari and they cannot explicitly state their brand (we know it's the colour scheme) and yet the booze cart Williams is totally fine. Even in the Middle East they're allowing the livery, but just force them to remove the word 'Martini,' just as they did in the latter days of tobacco advertising.

F1DriverQuidenBerg

I think tobacco advertising gets a poo poo rap because of the way they went about inserting themselves into films and poo poo and are paying for it now. I've never got set off watching a character have a drink in a film but any time a character smoked I'd immediately reach for my pack.
