Reading this has made me realise just what a mess F1 is in now in terms of sponsorship. Even the hopeless teams 10-20 years ago had a raft of sponsors helping to keep the teams afloat. Now we've got Manor with nothing, Mclaren with barely anything, Sauber with some Brazilian bank and nothing else.
It's a sad state of affairs watching F1 disappear up its own orifice.
I wonder how much of that is due to the rise of Facebook and Google. If you had £20M to spend on advertising surely you can target it to a much tighter group than "people who watch F1 and will see the rear wing of a Sauber" and thus get a better return on your product.It's a sad state of affairs watching F1 disappear up its own orifice.
Reading Jackie Stewarts autobiography described how the grand prix invites were sold as a way for fellow sponsors to schmooze and make contacts, I guess you can't do that online, but I'm sure you can do it at a whole bunch of other events for less money.

My favourite was always the yellow Jordon's, preferaably with the snake over the hornet. "Bitten 'n' Hisses" just worked better than "Buzzin Hornets" IMO.
Plus I've always had a thing for yellow cars, few models can carry off yellow. For example, I thought my Mk2 MR2 looked great in Yellow, but when I looked for a VX, I didn't think it looked quite as good in yellow IYSWIM.

I've always liked the 1994 Footwork..
Someone on this site has bought one of these recently, in the M/// Thread.It's currently in a Ferrari livery though for some odd reason so needs convincing to go back to the original and pretty cool Footwork livery.
