That's pretty convoluted. Why sponsor something if you can't put your name on it in a way consumers will recognize?

I feel the exact same way, it's a head scratcher, but big business works in very mysterious ways. The Ducati MotoGP bikes are branded the same way.

Qualifying was today.

The burning conversation is Mission Minnow.

Says a lot about how riveting this season is.

I didn’t watch the race but I bet I could tell you what the first three cars were.

I watched about the first 5 laps. I knew who was going to win.

Well, I’m going to guess Mercedes, Mercedes, Ferrari. I’ll put Bottas first, as he out qualified Hambone and it’s his turn this weekend, anyway. I figure Vettel for third.

It was sort of close at the end, so there was that.

DR did provide drama with his bomber move on Kvyat and subsequent backing into. Ricciardo needs to reboot and get it together.

Yeah it was a real nail biter, I took the DVR off X2 about 4 times. Had it running at X3 for a lot of the race.

The Non Mercedes finished the race 12 seconds adrift.
