Lawrence Stroll owns both Aston Martin the car company and Aston Martin the F1 team. So in that case AMF1 is basically the manufacturer.

Branding exercises can get complicated for arcane reasons or for simple ones like people doing business without getting along. Red Bull engines used to say TAG Heuer on them back when they were made by Renault for reasons that I think have to do with Christian Horner being a dick.

TAG Heuer used to be a McLaren sponsor because their owner, that ojjeh bloke, was a big shareholder of McLaren. When Ron Dennis came back in 2015 they fell out, so Christian Horner swooped in and ojjeh was more than happy to switch their branding to Red Bull just to piss Big Ron off

You�re right, I had forgotten Stroll senior bought the whole AM operation. I was just thinking of how the engines are still Mercedes

this has to be it, I always thought it was weird that Urakali/Mazepin Sr didn�t raise more of a stink about losing all that money they invested

"Direct shipments"? drat. Like, not even the plausible deniability of selling to "Muhammad al-Cherpunov" in Oman or wherever who then sells them to Russia?

Its 2 weeks between races and they need to generate clicks so no.

If Albon gets a flat tyre during FP1 we will probably see a headline about how Latifi is coming back or something.

idk it's a headline, I don't even recall where I saw it and I don't think there's enough porpoising to have caused enough brain damage for him to seriously consider moving to Ferrari as it's behaving currently

Just watching Drive to survive now. This episode where Mick keeps crashing is spot on. Gunther talking trash about him to Gene is even better.

�God damnit Mick go faster! Nonono don�t crash though!� Hard to say how much of that �go faster� stuff was dramatized, probably most of it, but it sure seemed like a higher pressure environment than Gunter was letting on.

Ferrari seem like the only team Lewis could gamble on unless Red Bull want to pay 2 multi-WDCs far out the rear end. I don�t see him being a good fit at Ferrari though. Oh maybe he can help build Audi with Big Valt and we�ll bring back HAMVERBOT!
