Those partners are easily identifiable as sponsors and as I said, the word partners is what they like to call sponsors these days and that's right across the board. Go to Ferrari's website and they have a page dedicated to their partners, as do Team Penske and Toyota Gazoo Racing. Isn't the entire Red Bull Racing F1 team and program run by an isotonic drinks company? |

The AT livery is an evolution of last years. Both are fantastic. I think they are knocking it out of the park with the look on their cars and have been for years.

It would be somewhat strange if a fashion brand didn't produce something that looked good

Overall, there is no doubt they are very light on sponsorship at the moment and shareholders can’t be delighted to see capital continually used towards running budget long-term. |

Have a look at Red Bull's partner page, they have even fewer sponsors/partners than McLaren. https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/partners All the teams have the Pirelli logo on their cars because they are the official supplier to F1. Firestone are the official supplier to IndyCar, so all teams have the Firestone logo on their cars. Well if the ‘specially mixed’ drinks bottle has a logo on it, then that's all part of that sponsor/partner's brand awareness and brand association strategy. |

You’ve countered that by pointing out how many partners there are but I’ve explained how sponsors and partners are very different. They have a lot of outgoings but comparatively few cash sponsors. True, they had a driver who was paying millions even before he raced for them, but now in his third year as a race driver I’m not sure he’s still paying the big bucks. This year they’ve got an expensive new lead driver, an expensive new customer engine and much reduced FOM income, despite their great finishing position last year. Their biggest sponsor seems to be issued share capital which cannot be sustainable forever. Maybe they have a massive deal to be announced, but the pot has been low for quite a long time now. Comparing spending shareholders funds to Red Bull GmbH, a drinks company with a billion dollar marketing budget, is ridiculous. Last edited by peebee2; 19 Feb 2021 at 19:48. |

I don't see how I've countered that. Is there a difference between sponsors and partners? The only difference I see is in the nomenclature. Whether one uses the term partner or sponsor, the same role is being fulfilled, which is to provide funding. I suppose using the word partner, has a more business partner/team player feel to it, rather than sponsor. Red Bull GmbH doesn't trade on the stock market and is privately owned, unlike BAT. In 2019 Red Bull GmbH had a global revenue of around €6.07 billion. BAT's global revenue for 2019 was around £25.877 billion. The average exchange rate in 2019 was €1.140 - £1.000. BAT also had an operating income of £9.016 billion. I don't know what Red Bull GmbH's operating income was for the same period. However, as their revenue was less than BAT's one could presume that their operating income might also be less. |

Basically teams have partners and sponsors. And there are still decals on the car and they don’t always have to have the partners name on the car. That’s how I see it

Doubtless the definition has been corrupted to suit the needs of the sponsors. |

It’s not so clear cut either. It’s not as if sponsor just covers someone who sticks a sticker on the side or partner has to provide something on the car.
Have I detected an air of sponsor is better than partner here? That strikes me as weird. |

The cars are going to be so hard to recognise in the first few races, as we get used to all the new liveries.

I think we should be fine. That said it's nice to see some teams play around with their liveries a bit. Can't wait to see what the others look like

Red Bull play 2nd best in the group livery stakes.... Alpha Tauri once more make the Red Bull look very ordinary.
Yes, and before anyone tells me an ugly livery on a faster car is better etc etc... i'm just saying if it was down to the livery the AT is the better of the two. |

This years car is smaller than last years. Adrian Newey working his magic again.

So, this is the last year of 'aero porn', as James Allison named it. The turning vanes are looking ever more detailed. Any favourites?

the benefits of being able to develop last years chassis for an additional season? all things being equal, a more refined solution by every team may make for a more interesting season? so far i think i like the Alfa Romeo the best. new nose, that triangle shaped air box, plus their livery...i like this! |
