Cost a lot of money to change everything now. The cars are only the tip of the iceberg. Removing the logos is one thing a complete colour change mid-season is another.
Easy respray, especially for Haas if it's almost all white or grey again with dark sidepods.
Like I said the cars are the tip of the iceberg. There is massive amount more to F1 branding than just two cars and a few uniforms.

Indeed. Cars and team clothing are just the being. Trucks, motorhomes, garage hoarding, stationary, loads of branded merchandise/tat (depending on your view point) that nobody will buy, etc.

And all those cans of Rich Energy to dispose of. smile

The cost and effort of rebranding everything seems like a distraction for a team with a limited budget. I think it makes sense to leave the colour scheme for the jest of the season. Just remove the logo where appropriate.

Or they leave the logos in place and simply put a Whyte sticker over the top of Rich Energy.

Except for people like me who love a bargain and will snap up a Haas F1 t-shirt on eBay for £10 in a few weeks.

Rich energy are gone now. Team seems to still want to run the car with same colours. Stupid idea which gives the phantom drink continued publicity. Can we leave this crappy black and gold like the old lotus behind at long last. A bloody curse that keeps coming back like with genii or whatever that effort was called.
Just cos some giffer still has a lotus dinky toy and pipes up now and again we all have to suffer .
I've read this post a few times now and I'm still not sure I understand it. Why is it "crappy"? Why can't you use a question mark? Why is it a bloody curse? Why is it a giffer with a dinky toy rather than someone (admittedly who seems to be a charlatan) whose corporate colours were black and gold? Why don't we leave the crappy Alfa Romeo livery behind? What is that you (and apparently the rest of us) are suffering from as a result?

With hindsight it is easy to say that Rich Energy sponsoring Haas was not going to end well, but people were saying it when the deal was announced. Haas must have known this would end in disaster but the money must have been huge.

Do we know if any money has been received?
