"I also don't know what other major motorsport doesn't do the exact same thing. NASCAR pays out prize money based on finishing position, as does Indy car. However I'm ignorant to how WRC, MotoGP and the GT series pay teams."

V8 supercar entrants are paid their series monies in equal shares.

However it was designed as such from the begginning of the system.

I see some segafredo in tokyo.
I just checked and found out there are 40 or so segafredo in Japan, but 95% concentrated in metropolitan area, 80% in Tokyo, and there is no single segafredo in any of other big cities like Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka etc! :eek: but somehow 2 shops in Sendai and Matsuyama!! :eek: :eek: (It's like 40 shops in London, NONE in either edinburgh, manchester, grasgow etc but one in brighton and one in aberdeen!)
but i have never used them. maybe i will try some time haha

It's good coffee :)

Not bad but I do love the look of their espresso cups.

Well, if it just sits there emitting steam and not much else then it's definitely a good sponsor for McLaren Honda. :p

Regarding Santander, I've been seeing Button in their newspaper ads.

 

This has almost certainly been mentioned, but I can't read 10 pages of the topic to find an answer... so if anyone can summarise for me that would be great.

 

If Santander are associated with McLaren and Alonso is at McLaren and Santander and Alonso have a strong history why do they not have a larger presence on the McLaren car/overalls?

 

Is it because they are high profile with Ferrari?

Apparentely since Botins death the relationship with Alonso has cooled down.

My understanding is that Santander UK have a deal with McLaren because they hold Button's commercial rights. If he was at another team Santander would likely be a personal sponsor. The same may apply with Johnnie Walker this year if the team kit shown so far is any indication.

Yeah it seems kind of like a licensing deal. So McLaren and/or Button get a few million, they don't sacrifice any space on the car. Less money, but a lot less fuss too.

I think Aston Martin can buy ForceIndia much cheaper this time.

I wouldn't be surprised if Aston Martin got wind of this while doing their background checks on Force India and that is why their deal was called off.
