Oh God Why?!
Niki Lauda will be wearing a re-branded cap from now on after clinching a new sponsorship deal.
The former triple World Champion and current Jaguar-Racing Team Principal had been wearing a Parmalat cap having had a long-running agreement with the Italian dairy giant since his driving days until the deal ended earlier this year. He has clinched a new deal with Viessmann, the German heating firm. The deal lasts for five years and means the style of cap has also changed. Lauda wears a cap to conceal the scars on his scalp from the horrific burns he suffered in his fiery accident at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring. |

He was wearing one last weekend (Viessmann).
You would think he might wear a Jaguar one with all the money they pay him!! |

No doubt, Kenny! Is it not some sort of conflict-of-interest for a team principal to be running around with a giant sponsorship logo covering his noggin that has nothing to do with his racing team????

See things like this prove that Lauda's mind is not into improving Jaguar but making personal gains financially. I bet when Jaguar fires him, we will see him with his cap in Ferrari's pits next year, roaming around talking to pitstop mechanics with his two words of **** advice.

I thought i read somewhere a while ago that Lauda's deal with Parmarlat had ended a number of years ago, but when he changed the logo alot of people said to him that it didn't look right, so he changed it back and was effectively giving them free advertising. I was suprised when i read about this new sponsership deal, seems the article i read was rather off target.

Lauda had so far failed totally as a team manager. What on earth had he done so far in Jaguar that actually is worth noting? Dammit...Jaguar would be better in putting Stewart in charge...
Compared to Luca di Monzzzz... Lauda is a complete failure as a leader. |
