Rumour mill has it that BWT will be dropped by Alpine and they will become OnlyFans Alpine Mercedes

Back to a traditional Blue Renault livery with a splash of white? (Oi) - shame it’ll coincide with them ditching the Renault engines, meh

Hopefully there won’t be too many sponsor engagements for Gasly and Doohan on that front

They should copy FE, and do an onlyfan-boost.

I can not see a problem in a legal product/enterprise sponsoring a team - I am not sure if it will be legal in all countries, but that is already happening this year with Sauber so not really a concern either. I do not think it is the job of an international sports organization to make themselves a guard over morals and ethics, when society at large are perfectly fine with them.

So let's bring this one back, too.

Even back in the dusk of tabacco sponsorship, cars had to race without or disguised logos. In France, if I recall correctly, there was no "Marlboro" text on the Ferraris while we had "Mika" and "David" instead of "West" for McLaren, etc.

In time I think gambling and alcohol sponsorship will be viewed the same as tobacco, the damage both of these do to Australian society (my point of reference) is currently somewhat taboo in the face of social norms and deep pockets.

And before people come at me with things like "consenting adults" and "personal choice", ask yourselves why tobacco advertising was banned even when only adults can legally purchase smokes.

Money is money, right?

There have to be a lot of money in scantly clothed people.

No. Only Fans is not going to be an F1 sponsor let alone a title sponsor.

Are we going to have to pay an extra tenner to see them take the engine cover off?

[FirstnameLastname]

‘Lonely Fans’ is the Alpine supporters club name I believe

[PayasYouRace]

There are teams out there racing with OnlyFans sponsorship already.

 

 

I first noticed them on the Enduro Motorsport McLarens in British GT.

 

At the end of the day it’s a subscription based social media platform for content creators. That most of the content creators create a certain kind of content doesn’t take away the fact that anyone can use it to promote their own work. Alpine could have an entirely SFW account where subscribers get treated to unique fan engagement opportunities and could buy certain perks.

OnlyFans is an internet content subscription service. That it is primarily used by some users that make OnlyFans what it is known for, is not how they market themselves. So I dont see it as anything other than having Kick sponsor Sauber.

I'm sure this will go down well with the "won't someone please think of the children!" brigade...

The only account posting this “rumour” is a fake/troll account on Twitter that poses as an F1 journo.  Recently such scoops include Newey to Aston Martin done deal in June as well as Sainz to Mercedes a done deal.  There are also fake images from Monaco and some in forums claiming even the profile pic is generated.

Briatore’s secret budgie-smuggler pics will be available for a fee.

I first noticed it on the Citroen C1 in the championship I was competing in…which also has a Fake Taxi sponsored car…
