Very "convenient" for them. Be interesting to read some more background on that on some of the F1 forums where people seem to have a handle on the cut of the jib of RE. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) The whole thing is really weird. There was a really long piece about the guy on another forum I saw, I’ll try and find it... The way the Whyte Bikes saga unfolded was amazing, Rich Energy’s PR was nothing short of insane. They ended up with a court order to pay Whyte Bikes all the profits from drinks sold with the stag logo, and to turn over all remaining products featuring the logo, or destroy them. Edit: here. Rich Energy is a bizarre entity, at best. Edited July 10, 2019 by njee20 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 11, 2019 Rich Energy investors are trying to save the sponsorship deal, saying their CEO acted alone in dumping Haas. Presumably thinking that doing so would absolve him of having to share some money with Whyte Bikes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, sadly, such a half-baked sponsor, whatever the colour of their money, does Haas no credibility favours, either. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted July 11, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 11, 2019 Further to that they’ve now said they’re looking to “remove the individual involved” so Storey May be out of his own company. Agreed Haas can’t be best pleased with all of this. Or is it a case of all publicity is good publicity?! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2019 Poor Steiner. Not just the silliness of a major sponsor, but now Grosjean has knocked his nose off coming out of the pits! And Kimi has coasted to a halt.

34theletterbetweenB&D Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 If the wind picks up a bit more over the weekend it could be very good.

iak Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Monsieur Grosjean, you are a silly plonker! Just keep it on the island son, your team needs some responsible driving and not another dose of dimwitted Gallic pique! I do wonder if young Gasly has the "hairdryer" treatment as well, far better this morning... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
