The formatting is weird but it's the only English article I can find about the subject right now. The "U-mask" that all the F1 teams have been using, has been banned in Italy for basically falsely claiming how well they protect you, as well as not having proper certification.

I wonder if these things had any part in so many people in the paddock catching covid last season.

So they did a deal for branding and financial reasons without checking through on the science?

I paid 15 Euros for a Ferrari mug at Portimão. Was one of the few things I'd give use and didn't break the bank.

In São Paulo nowadays there Red Bull fake clothing is number one indeed, and there is a reasonable amount of counterfeit Mercedes clothing as well. And then comes Ferrari.

10 to 15 years ago the top choice was BMW Williams and Vodafone Ferrari hybrids, knock offs so crappily made but people didn't seem to bother as they worked fine to ride motorcycles

I forgot about these! They were briefly very popular in the UK. There was a shop near where I lived that sold leather biker jackets with this sort of sponsor cannon job on them.

Even their previous seasons' stuff is a rip. I got Merc shirts for $15 at the Singapore GP - Ferrari at least twice that.

I've often said to friends and family to not buy me F1 clothing, just in case they mistakenly buy this utter shite (which I would refuse to wear out of principle). :8:

my goodness, I thought this knock off trend was popular only here due to extorsive prices

I also have some but they're retro replicas, and the quality is way much better than those haha

Not surprised it was missed, but Red Bull added a B to the name of last year's car and launched it:

and Alpha Tauri have a new nose on their car:

The tast livery is definitely carried by Benetton-spec tast wheels.

Addressing the issue of F1 racing in countries with poor human rights records, Targett-Adams said: “I think it’s really important to ask the question.

“From Formula 1’s perspective we choose to engage with partners and we have a framework contractually to set out our expectations on human rights and how we expect to work and our staff expect to work and be treated.

“And we have good engagement with our race promoters and their government stakeholders on those requirements.

“So, it’s something that we actively lean into and learn and educate ourselves about that culture and custom and work with our promoters as it relates to our Formula 1 event.”


Fascinating how they restrict right of minorities and chop your head off when you're gay. They have their critical journalists murdered. But it's ok because they pay us enough.

What a load of bs :lol:
