Are Haas embarrassed about Rich Energy?

[JonChalk]

Their website always talks about themselves as the Haas F1 team.

Their twitter handle is still @HaasF1team.

Their Facebook page is still Haas F1 team.

Despite their legal entry being Rich Energy Haas F1 team.

Williams have gone the whole hog with ROKIT; changed the lot, talk about themselves as "ROKiT Williams", etc.

Is the shine coming off already?

it tells me I can have my case of it delivered tonight between 6-10pm........ is it worth a gamble?!?! I mean amazon have a good returns policy.

That creates a dilemma; drink all 24 cans of an unknown parentage (variously reported as having an odd and/or cabbagey aftertaste, I think I read on one Amazon review) or pour it down the drain?

And as you allude to; a big bag of cash tends to win the day in any scenario. But.....

Perhaps even just the vague promise of a big bag of cash at the end of the rainbow.

OMG. Haas are f**ked.

Where on earth is his "money" coming from?

Haas better be aware of this ruling and it's contents.

"I prefer not to judge people on what they say and what they do,"

That's the most deluded thing I've read in a long time.

....and Steiner: "We were told [that] when we need to change something they will tell us." ...who is "they", Gunther? Your lawyers, or the deceitful shyster promising you money? You're going to wait until he says it's OK?

Check with your lawyers for fk's sake, you fool!

It is a paid advert, so really not in anyway endorsed by Evo.

Well, if Haas aren't embarrassed by them now, when....?

Don't see how Haas can come out of this untarnished in some fashion now.

Simplest solution for Whyte is to Licence the logo to Rich Energy,

They are in different market places, selling different things, and they could make a tidy contribution by taking a cut on each can!

oh... hang on.... no sales..... Upfront couple of million and then a cut on each can!

Do you mean real cans, or made up ones? 'cos if they tag it to made up ones, they'll have more money than Ferrari to play with......

Nice to see they're stepping out with dignity

Absolutely no shame, no decency, complete fking self-centred morons.

...and, sorry to say, as many others in this thread have also agreed, completely predictable.

Because it turns out Rich Energy are actually embarassed by Haas, I was going to ask for this thread to be closed, and pick up on more accurately titled:
