Liberty are actually being really sensible and saying things like 'you can't expect everything to change overnight because we bought into a sport that has a lot of catching up to do, but we're putting in the investment to make that happen'. Remember Bernie literally had no marketing department for a multi billion dollar business.

Having a coherent brand identity does actually matter when you're trying to sell something to sponsors and new fans, and some of the stuff they've done is actually quite clever if you ignore the marketingese and design document bollocks.

Having a simple big block of a logo lets it sit beside all the different corporate sponsors' logos without distracting from them while still making everything seem up to date and unified. The old logo is cool but it's definitely getting on a bit in a sport that sells itself on being cutting edge. The new one is kinda boring but that's actually by design.

They've deliberately gone for a primary typeface that looks distinctive and modern and works across devices.
The secondary fonts will be mainly for posters and signage and the like and are good contemporary takes on retro styles, though I'm not personally a fan of the aesthetic of F1 Turbo.

Yes I'm taking my new red text seriously

Counterpoint: It's a poo poo logo. Just go to Twitter or Facebook and check out how it looks like a blurry red blotch at the small size next to their posts. The number 1 rule of logo design is make it distinct at any size.

Also maybe F1 under Bernie could have used extra salespeople but don't get silly, F1's branding was fine. He clearly employed designers, F1 has a pretty good website, it's not like Bernie was uploading updates with Dreamweaver. The TV graphics are also among the best in sports broadcasting.

The Williams family are well-off but definitely not billionaires. Claire was always the better choice as the son wasn't really into it until he came back and took something up that he enjoyed doing.

Frank also went out of his way to not just hand the reins to Claire and had her working in the marketing/PR department for a while to see if she's up to the task and to prove to those around the team that she's actually a worthy successor and it wasn't just a very clear and dry case of nepotism for someone who may not even be capable of the task.

At some point when you're operating a racing team you have to realize that all the money that a driver brings in is not worth it when the on track performance is not there. You are losing far more in the long term by having a poo poo yet rich driver vs a good/great one in that car instead. See: Maldonado, Pastor. (who would be a massive step up from Stroll)

It's amazing. Trump has made George Bush look like a saint and now Stroll is making Maldonado look like one, too.

The billionaires thing was about the Stroll family, you GP2 brain.

The thing is: when AUDI motorsport chief yelled "Timo, schieb in raus" (Timo (Scheider), push him off) into the mic, it was what most non-Mercedes fans felt watching the race. The way Mercedes drove to get Wehrlein to champion was disgusting (in this scene, Wehrlein was just given another spot from another Mercedes driver that then started to block Timo Scheider). To the point, that Ex-Mercedes-Motorsport-Chief Norbert Haug - who is a drat cool guy, super defensive when it comes to Mercedes to not come across as a hurt bitch because Wolf threw him out...he's just supercool - even started to question the motives of Mercedes. That DTM season was disgusting imo. The Audi sport chief who instructed Timo Scheider to kick Wehrlein off got a live-long probation from DTM pit-lane (allthough he appeared again this year) and of course was relieved of his position at AUDI DTM Motorsports operation.

I am a loving big BMW fan, but if some other team wins fair and square, it's all good, and I even had tears in my eyes this year applauding Rene Rast for winning the DTM for AUDI in an Audi (and I hate AUDI and Audis), but the way Wehrlein won simply wasn't impressive imo. Mercedes had an awesome car that year, a very good driver with Wehrlein, and then decided it is appropriate to make the seven other Mercedes drivers Wehrlein's bitch after about two or three races (of ten).

Who out there is both available and genuinely fast? Because I think at least Renault would have given Kubica a seat if he still seemed like a top 10 driver so I suspect he falls more into the Di Resta/Kvyat tier of experienced drivers hanging out on the fringe of F1. I sort of don't know who Williams signs that they don't have to buy out from some other team.

The British sports personality of the year gets awarded tonight. Our Lewis is nominated but given the BBC's awful bias against him I fully expect he'll get voter-frauded out of the contest.

Given that his whole thing is how much he is loved by the fans it is an actual PR blow for his brand whenever sports personality rolls around because it exposes him as someone no one really gives two shits about. He’s been nominated loads of times and only won it in a year when there were no other sporting achievements - John Surtees beat Bobby Charlton for his award, Lewis couldn’t beat Jonathan Rea.

It goes to show you how much damage the negative coverage from the BBC and the rest of the "British" media has done. Every forum I visit where F1 is covered from a neutral and fair perspective is full of Lewis fans but sadly the general public doesn't have access to the truth.

100w incandescents are. Given how cheap and powerful LED bulbs have become I honestly don't know why the hell people still even buy lovely incandescent bulbs, especially when they are basically the same colour temperature, save a load of money on electricity and are easily brighter than the most common 60w.

There was a literally bum rush to stock up on 100w bulbs when the EU banned their sale. Like, people literally queued up to pay inflated prices for an outdated piece of technology that will irrefutably end up costing them more over the long run. And David Cameron thought it was smart to let these retards have a say on the future of this country. Jesus wept.

Angela Merkel has a kill switch for all the LED bulbs exported into Britain, that's why the EU banned the other kinds.
