Title sponsorship doesn't exist any more as a concept. Do we have room for bigger brands on our cars? Yes we do. But the reality is that we put ourselves in a position where the technology side of our business is providing different dynamics [of revenue].

I love the synergy of forcing my staff to all stay at a Hilton at every race even if it's farther out of the way and a massive inconvenience just because they're a brand partner

Well I mean they're always so far from the podium that there's some synergy in also being a long way from the track, so there's that I guess.

Every British based team is a blight to Formula 1, we should ban all British involvement in F1 and strip every fraudulent British driver of their championships.

What was the downside to having a title sponsor again? Too much commitment to corporate marketing events? I really can't remember. If Gillette or Vodafone or Marlboro uh, Pepsi want to put their name all big on your car and give you money... do it, right?

They don’t want to. Vodafone paid like a third of McLaren’s budget, no one pays that much anymore. You’d be taking a sponsor who pays the same amount as your regular sponsors and then giving them a bonus. It doesn’t make sense.
