Andrew P Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Was he? Who said that? Big Ron on Saturday, Alonso was offered a Sabbatical, and was considering it but now says he won't take it, even MORE confused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Ron was asked by a reporter if Alonso was taking a sabbatical and he (Ron) said that anything's possible. He didn't say he was and he certainly didn't say he offered him one. Alonso said he had never asked for one, and certainly hadn't been offered one.

EddieB Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Slightly off topic but former Manor Marrusia top brass Graeme Lowdon and John Booth are rooted to be interested in setting a endurance team up An endurance team - is that like being at McLaren? Well, here's the warning for Rosberg: change your attitude or we'll replace you! link Of course they have to say the warning is for both, but 3x Champion Lewis has just extended his contract Not really related: the team principles have elected their top 10 of past season. I'm not surprised that Verstappen took 4th I didn't know certain teams had any principles. Sorry x2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I saw it mentioned a month or two back that Tag Heuers sponsorship was moving from McLaren to Red Bull. Are Tag Heuer still share holders at McLaren? Could be interesting times if so! Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DIW Posted December 3, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 3, 2015 Are Tag Heuer still share holders at McLaren? Is there any truth in the allegation that Tag Heuer sold their shareholding to Dataday Diaries, since that is a more appropriate method of measuring the McLaren Honda lap times?

Andrew P Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Looks like McLaren will have LOADS OF ROOM on their Car advertising next year, How about clubbing together for an R M Web advert? Lets just HOPE that Honda have some influence on the Livery for 2016, and it goes to Red and White, or something bright, although the Grey looked smart, I never felt it was the right colour for a Racing Car, but then it very rarely performed like a Racing Car, more like Grannies Shopping trolley, and then with probably a Yellow Renault, Sauber Blue and Yellow, and the (as always) Red Ferrari we might just get a more colourful looking grid. Does anyone know what colours Hass uses in the States? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 The last time Haas were involved in F1 their cars were red, white and blue, predominantly red. Though that may well depend upon sponsorship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 ...: the American team is called Haas, probably has a Dutch heritage in there somewhere. Sadly, Dutch names and traditions are all too often warped by the British Perhaps by the Anglophones: I am sure the Celts have much more sensitivity in these matters. One simply has to have fun with it. My old fashioned Amsterdam style surname is totally unfamiliar in the Anglosphere. Having given the spelling, I then give the pronunciation as 'Vlodolovsky' which shares only letter; personal revenge for such things as Mainwaring and Featherstonehaugh.

It's a nice fantasy but with a title sponsorship costing £10 - 40 million pa, a co-sponsorship £2 - £12 million pa and a subsidiary sponsorship a 'mere' £1 - £2 million, the best of luck talking Andy Y & Warners into that one...

I'm surprised that McHonda wasn't sponsored by a condom manufacturer. I wonder how many times the drivers issued the immortal words "It's f***ed again"?
