for manufacturers F1 should be profitable, and for the teams, it should be a sport to say "we worked hard and won". Bernie should be aware of that, as both parts aren't achieving any goal

Don't know that, Renault used his victories with Red Bull and Renault itself in his marketing. Audi uses it as well after every Le Mans victory. I can imagine the marketing team at Mercedes is running in overdrive at the moment.

I say that because I usually don't see any more advertising using F1 like it used to be done before. In the past 4 years I haven't saw any spot by Renault saying that they won F1 neither by Red Bull here in Brazil

that's a shame, because when you make television spots with good racing images it can generate a good revenue specially with children

Well that's different in Belgium then, Renault have put adds in papers and on billboards and stuff. Mercedes did the same when hamilton was champ, I'm sure they'll do it again

that's too bad for me so, I liked when Shell used to pick some Ferraris for ads, Petrobras also used Williams on their first sponsorship span, I guess they still rely on Ayrton Senna for F1 related advertising

Hmm i wonder how would that work if Caterham stayed, cuz Rubens didnt drive the new 2014 cars and it aint enough time in practices to learn all that...

yeah, it would have been, so as to reinforce the image of a sport in decline.

- Complain a lot about not being team #1

- Bitch about the team not providing a good enough car

- Get unhappy with being beaten by his team mate but say he and team mate work very well together

- Tell the media he would like to end his career at his current team

There you go McLaren, you've no need to thank me.
