I know that in the 1970’s & up to the 1990’s most F1 teams were sponsored by the tobacco. Because my 1st foray into F1, was a toy JPS car with the classic Black & Gold livery and the No.05 on it.
And then from the 1976 scrap for the WDC between James Hunt & Nikki Lauda, is when I got hooked on the sport big time.
Well, then you’ve probably also heard that tobacco or cigarette advertising is no longer allowed in Formula 1, just like in almost all other sports.
The red and white colors you were referring to are Marlboro’s trademark.
I know, but those colours are more Iconic of the team, than that burnt orange they use now. We need clothing firms to sponsor F1 teams.
And I’m thinking of Benetton and and Iconic driver Michael Schumacher. He was the Max of the late 1980’s and the team the Red Bull.

Wow that looks slow…
But did you notice the one thing that is the same as today’s racing. That it’s a train of cars, Monaco has always been won & lost by the quickness of the pit crews.
That was a great
not always 
Here’s a quick overview of next years cars
Here’s a car to get hold of, if you had the money.
Yuki 
He was as useful as a sandbox in Sahara desert
Couldn’t agree more, all of Max’s team mates, were about as much use as a dead battery in a torch. None of them had the speed to support Max. It was technically a one man show, where Red Bull was concerned.
That’s not what I meant. I meant his action trying to block Norris.
Checo was very good with that with Lewis in 2021.
And in general was Checo was not useless. Shows that now Cadillac hired him as driver.
It’s just that Max is super quick and uses a setup of the car which is hard to drive for others
Sorry, but I still think Norris should’ve got a penalty as well, for that Undercut and leaving the track to get past Yuki.
Of course not. He left the track to avoid a collision.
The Golden Duo stay together:
From England: Lambiase will remain Verstappen’s track engineer:
— Speculation about a split between Max Verstappen and his track engineer Gianpiero Lambiase has been dismissed. Lambiase is expected to continue as Verstappen’s track engineer, maintaining their long-standing partnership.
— Red Bull Racing has experienced significant changes, with key figures like Helmut Marko, Chris Horner, Adrian Newey, Jonathan Wheatley, and Rob Marshall departing. Despite these shifts, Verstappen and Lambiase remain central to the team’s future.
— Lambiase was visibly emotional after the Abu Dhabi GP, not due to the race outcome but personal stress. His commitment to Verstappen since the 2016 Spanish GP has been unwavering, and he will continue to support the Dutch driver.
— Rumors suggested Lambiase might transition to a different role within Red Bull, possibly moving to Milton Keynes. However, these claims have been refuted, confirming his continued presence on the track with Verstappen.
— Red Bull is set to debut a new engine developed in collaboration with Ford, marking a new era for the team. Lambiase’s experience and rapport with Verstappen will be crucial as they navigate this transition.
