Stefan those pictures are fantastic.

The Ferrari stuff also makes me think of how much of a divide there is between marketing "lifestyle" and actually racing in F1 now.

Ferrari and Mercedes* probably do a lot of marketing at the trackside, but when you need 12 lorries just to take your hospitality suites around you're running a pretty extravagant outfit and taking a big amount out of the budget before you've started to spend money on actual race cars. Especially when you compare it to lower end teams (Force India, Manor etc) who can struggle to survive and pay their way just to race, while the top teams are sipping champagne paid for by their heritage bonuses.


*I would include Red Bull in that but we all know they're a marketing gimmick instead of a race team anyway.
