I’m confused... I thought they wanted to continue sponsoring Haas as only a minority of the stakeholders were unsatisfied with their performance... but it’s the other way around? They did ‘sack’ Haas and it was the minority that tried to save the deal? :boggled:

Anybody's guess at the moment. In short: Rich Energy "sack" Haas for being too slow. Haas insist they have a contract and that the Rich Energy partnership continues. Rich Energy melts down on Twitter, board of Rich Energy (Justin King and co) say that they've removed Storey (the CEO) and that Storey is making the rogue tweets. Storey tweets to say that the IP has been removed from Rich Energy to another company, thank you and goodnight.

There's a lot for the lawyers to unpick.
 
I think on more than one occasion the brilliant but amoral Colin Chapman came into association with unsavory sponsors.

I swear they’re pretending they’re playing 52D backgammon.

Formation lap is underway - let's hope that this GP's a cracker like Ben Edwards is hoping for.
 
Did Ted Kravtiz get his job back?

Watching Channel 4's coverage, but this article should confirm that Kravitz is still with Sky.

Smooth start for Bottas, but Hamilton's piling the pressure on the opening lap.
 
Good fighting between Norris and Ricciardo
 
How long until Hamilton gets the lead?
 
Ooof, not a good start from the Haas team. :indiff:
 
Battle is on between the two Mercs!
 
Not much longer apparently... Bottas can't handle pressure
 
Finally some exciting racing
 
I take it back lol
 
Bottas is on a freaking mission! This is gonna be a good race up front.
 
That is some nice back-and-forth.

Just like in Lewis' McLaren days. Nice, aggressive and clean.
 
The Cameras for Silverstone are by far the best of the season.
 
Great starts from each of the McLarens...
 
Haas just can't get any luck, can they?
 
Not a good day for Magnussen so far - that's the second time he's pitted in these early stages.
 
I wonder if the Ferraris will wake up when they change to the Mediums, as they looked to be really fast with them in Qual.
 
Mid overtake and they pan to the fans... :banghead:
 
That's a shame for Haas, especially with all the bicycle company drama.
