F1 chatter #49

will George and carmen also loose their brand ambassador roles? No more non disclosure ads from Carmen & flights to the US

guess TH was more interested in Lewis & doesn’t see George or Merc worth the investment is this the start of the downfall moneywise for Merc? Toto needs to hit up Zack for his brand deal strategies - unless of course Adidas pays a fortune, didn’t bother with German football team and lost that to Nike

Apparently the Adidas deal is worth more to Mercedes than the TH and Puma deals they are replacing combined. So it's a big money deal.

Or clever wording Why couldn’t they keep TH?

classic Sharl

I saw another angle of that clip from Australia with the cricket bat when he terrified himself - he hit the camera, but I don;t remember if I posted it here

I've read a bit more, and it does sound like they are walking because Hamilton is going. Both had personal brand deals with Lewis, so whether TH follows him to Ferrari is still to be seen. Puma already a Ferrari sponsor.

And some of the articles are saying tens of millions for the Adidas deal which is bollocks imo. Maybe at most 10m but I'd be surprised if it was that much.

apparently they expect to continuing for the 24-25 season, so maybe the article got it wrong and it’s just Puma Merc is switching ?
Adidas was only paying 50 Mil for the German football team and that’s worth a lot more - can’t see it be more then 10 to be honest

I'm sure Zak Brown is on the phone seeing if he can manage to have Reiss and Tommy Hilfiger as McLaren sponsors at the same time.

Pobrecitooooooo

this ended me

Jesus, I just hope Lewis to Ferrari will not be a massive fail, because only vision of 16-44 being the best pairing for 2025 and a chance of EPIC hotness and epic ferrari things
helps with pain of Sharl and Carlos being separated as teammates, even though they are probably not as close as the media interactions show

I was thinking about this the other day. How often do we see Carlos hanging out with Sharl outside of work (including PR / marketing work) compared to the Carlando dates

i feel like they get along (in terms of being work colleagues who like each others’ company) but i definitely don’t think they spend much time together outside of work stuff. whereas, like you say, carlos has a genuine friendship with lando (and charles with pierre) by contrast.

i feel like they’ll miss each other but more in a “he was a cool teammate” way rather than “he has been torn from me and taken a piece of my heart with him” way

Oooh, nothing compares to Carlando dates
but I feel they suffered massively last year, when Carlos decided to be escorted move to Naughty Boys' Corner.

But last week made me hopeful we will get more Carlando content this year. I even plan tk rewatch my favourite video that is the ine with mini yoda anf mmd tiramisu in a box
