The phrases he quoted were all on the Jordan car when the tobacco sponsors weren't allowed their names to be put on the cars and were all a nod towards B&H brand (e.g. cheekily trying to bypass the ban). It clicked after I had posted. Not being a smoker, brand awareness isn't burnt into my brain! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted February 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2023 Local Ford dealer (T C Harrison) has sent me an email link to a lot more information - there is direct link to F1 as the original Mr Harrison drove an ERA C-type in the first Silverstone GP in 1950.

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I usually support Ford in all forms of motorsport, but I just cannot bring myself to support Red Bull, although I may reconsider should they sign a driver such as Lando Norris, as has been rumoured. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard the Norris rumour, BUT he needs a fast Car, and a lot can happen between now and 2026, I'm thinking of, maybe a BIG return to form of McLaren, or Lewis's seat at Merc, or even one of the current outsiders like Alpine or AM. As I say, 2026 is a long way off in real terms, just look how quickly the Mercs lost their advantage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jol Wilkinson Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 While Mad Max and C Moaner are at Red Bull any "second driver" won't get fair treatment. Better to get some windfall results there or a chance of greater things elsewhere? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SR71 Posted February 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2023 Norris raced Ginetta Juniors if I remember correctly. Max might find himself on the outside heading towards a barrier if he tries his usual tricks. If you watch BTCC you soon realise; 1) the Ginetta Junior drivers are fearless. 2) no one has told them what the middle peddle does. 3) the flip front can be attached/detached, up/down, they are not lifting! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
