You've got to admire Adderton for building the successful business empire that he has & for sure he's provided plenty of support (which also provides exposure benefits to his brand) to a number of drivers / teams / series but he appears to be "high maintenance".
Certainly feel that he has reason to feel aggrieved at the removal of his logo from Brodie's helmet, at the behest of a team previously sponsored by Boost. He was well-known for being all over the place in the Super Touring days and whilst generous, has shown himself to be anything but reliable & consistent in his Supercars involvements. Shame that a sponsor (allegedly) leaves the sport but it has felt like only a matter of time from the moment he got back involved that he'd be storming off into the sunset again. Who knows? Given the large amounts of misspellings and grammar errors in those posts from padderton, maybe there was fun consumption taking place and a next-day, sober view might be different? Between Barry, Betty, Brodie & Peter, this whole mess has seemed more and more like some twisted, fictional storyline - all very strange and I do wonder if we'll ever really know what has gone down. |

It has all been a dream, Brodie in the shower photo being printed as we speak.

Barry Ryan deserves a medal.
To have produced a championship out of this mix of clearly unstable people is awe inspiring. |

OUCH this is getting messy.
Its a shame for PA, as Im sure his contribution's have assisted many in motorsport. Maybe less said the better for him. My biggest confusion is around this being a Health issue for Bush. He did look very gaunt in a photo recently, however is it was a Health issue I would have though all the sponsors would stick by you / the team (aka Coke & others) Anyway racing this weekend, Im sure very few interviews coming from Erebus and or their driver. |

Not sure how much we should be promoting a series where the two co-owners won everything to the eventual series demise...

And with pixie dust and good intentions all fractures are welded permanently together and we all live happy ever after.
Well we can might have some idea of the validity of that if anybody bothered to properly report what was really going on. Not going to happen, I know. So the messiah is back on track today.. and knowing that every media release regurgitation is going to want art of such an event in video or stills, you might presume the newly numbered #1 would be full of all the supporters on previous rounds at the team Except it looks quite naked.. Bonnet especially but also the sides, the smaller brands not currently showing.. Another exodus.. quieter this time? A journalist doing their job might ask and find out, rather than fan girling.. I guess we aren’t destined to know |

Roland is happy to move on as he knows the full story, he was also happy to put his two cents worth in, needed or not? Helpfully or not? but did it anyway for a large number to view. I like Roland, but he may want to remember when he is looking down on all us little people. The sport is largely here as it is today off the backs of the Fan support over the decades, not because of anything Roland has contributed. Roland is a benefactor of the sport.
The sport is more than happy to tell us all how wonderful it is, but whenever anything else is at play there is silence or a feed of bullshit. We don't need to know anything, just keep spending the money coming to the events, buying our over priced apparel... F1 is more open than this lot. |

Yep - Roland's article is the closest we appear to have come to the actual truth - a 9-month long commercial negotiation / disagreement between driver and team. Now it is possible of course that medical problem arose out of the dispute and it has been treated separately but I suspect that if so, Roland may have referred to it.

It does, no question although I think that at least one of his recent posts is either bordering on or full-on delivering the type of bullying that he was upset about Brodie allegedly receiving.
