I hope as a tribute to seb for winning the first overtake award, the fia gives all future winners of the award 1 million jellybeans.

The irony of Paul Ricard : You can't advertise alcohol there but the name of the circuit is of the creator of an alcohol beverage company :)

I thought mission winnow was supposed to be more like mission win now. I thought this was Ferraris way of showing they are ready to compete again. 😂😂

Marlboro McLaren of the late 80s is undoubtedly the most iconic livery of all!

Kevin Magnussen is back in haas

There’s been some amazing branding over the years. When I bought my first camera it had to be a Canon just because of the William’s early 90s livery. When I smoked I had rothmans royals again because of the Williams sponsorship. Quite powerful, you can see why they pay so much money to have it on the cars.

Daim, Uralkali got banned even from the vidyo about banned sponsors... 🤣

All my adult life I wanted a Tag Heuer watch and I didn't know why. I started watching classic F1 races and I figured it out quickly.

When Williams won their first race at Silverstone in 1979, their main sponsor was Saudia Airlines with 'Fly Saudia' on the back wing. Before the podium ceremony Frank sent up a note to winner Clay Regazzoni telling him not to drink the champagne as drinking alcohol on prime time telly might offend the sponsor. Despite being the owner of a fledgling team, good old Frank's business sense told him what his priorities were.

Marlboro is probably one of the most iconic sponsors in Formula 1. That amazing red and white McLaren from the 70's to the 90's and of course, Michael Schumacher's Ferrari with Marlboro branding on. Shame it's been banned now

4:05 more on that, the reason why Verstappen was given a 5 second time penalty so quickly for overtaking Kimi Raikkonen off track, was because the stewards didn’t want him in the complications of drinking on the podium because he was under the legal drinking age.

In Gran Turismo Sport, which I currently own, the Rothman's logo on my Porcshe 962C is removed because since the game was developed in Japan, they had their "anti-tobacco" laws. Same thing with the Lancia Delta HF Rally Car '92 and the Lancia Delta S4 '85 in Gran Turismo 4. The Martini logo was removed because of Japan's anti-alcohol laws.

JPS Lotus was iconic... I miss the Jordan "BE ON EDGE" / Buzzing Hornets cars...

F1: Let’s ban Cigarettes. Also F1: Let’s go to Saudi Arabia while having “We Race As One” stickers on the cars.

"Gambling: Allowed." Well obviously - there's crypto ads everywhere.

Remember the genius Marlboro barcode in 2007?

F1: Uses Marlboro livery cars all the time because they are iconic and instantly recognizable as F1. Also F1: Bans Marlboro liveries.

I"ve read this article on the website, so crazy to see it in a video format, great article, great video, great channel, not a fanboy thought

Marlboro Ferrari was too good to stay.

I think Marlboro and Rothmans liveries have become so iconic in motorsports that a piece of history is lost by banning them. It's not like most people don't already know cigarettes and alcohol are bad

Worth pointing out Lucky Strike were involved with the then 500cc, now MotoGP, Suzuki team in the early 90s. As was, hilariously enough, Rothmans as welll. Was there a series Rothmans didn't at least try to end up in? Also no. I instantly thought of the Arrows for some reason and then in quick succession, the Jordans, with the hornets and snakes. That team had some hella talented artists working for them. Gotta love the Bitten and Hissen, and the Buzzin Hornets one too. Also, yes, Red Bull was, for a time, banned in France too. Kind of awkward for RBR too..and I swear France had some of the best ways to get around the ban on cigarette adverts. The R ? and such. Also, yes, the vid/article didn't say it but you can take a wild guess why the Middle Eastern nations look down on alcohol. it's not just limited to F1, however. Motorcycles have very, very prominent Coronoa (ironic) branding, the Mexican beer before they change their name and they'd do what Gaulois did. The Go!!! (which is another fantastic way to get around the restrictions too come to think of it. made the team look quicker than theyy were. Hello late 90s Prost. Backmarkers with a fantastic livery and that one GT team running a Viper in the early 00s, or was it a Corvette?) Also those rules applied double so to F1 videogames too at the time, too

cant wait for ferrari to paint the wheel covers to look like the malboro logo when spinning in racing speeds

Fun fact the Heineken sponsorship also shuts down ANY motorsports sponsorship deals in the USA. This includes their sister brands as well such as Dos Equis

One that i remember most is the yellow Benson and hedges of Heinz Harald Frentzen and the black and gold JPS livery, both not featured in the video

What about the "WEST" McLaren?

I'd never thought you'd mention the term NFT lol 🤣

What an excellent informative video, cheers 👍

Ferrari (Marlboro) McLaren Mercedes (West) Renault (Mild Seven) BAR Honda (Lucky Strike) Those are main tobacco sponsors of F1 teams when I grew up as a kid watching F1. On top of that, there's also Williams (Hewlett-Packard/Compaq), Jordan (Benson & Hedges) and Jaguar (HSBC) as well as now defunct Arrows team (Orange).

Was waiting for Uralkali to be mentioned lol

Although Penthouse sponsored Heskith in the 70s IIRC adult entertainment companies have been banned since the late 90s when Tyrrell was blocked from running cyber erotica branding. (which led to the Xena ads as Five were part of the same group at the time)

I would have loved to be at that first meeting "So we want you to give us money... and if return we'll put your name on our car"

Great video as always

bro, your content is TOP TIER. The news ancor voice kills me tho. Try to read/record with some emotion. But in the same breath, what ain broke dont fix it right ?

Jordan ran Buzzin Hornets and Bitten Heroes in place of Benson and Hedges at the US GP at Indy for a couple years. I have a Buzzin Hornets die cast.

A small suggestion to you guys, your black or dark greyish background is very similar to the youtube's dark mode black background, I suggest you guys should change that dark greyish colour with the youtube's black colour background...it will look so slick! Just give it a try once. Love your videos

any marlboro livery is just iconic, whether f1 or rally or whatever. it’s sick af

The West McLaren is still one of my favorite F1 liveries ever

remeber how cool was the lancia delta sponsor by Martini?!

Ah yes, crypto in F1, the pinnacle of sponsorship. At least we don't have RAID: Shadow Legends on the Red Bull yet.

Did we forget SportPesa being the title sponsor for Racing Point?

Marlboro had such a presence in f1

I don't smoke but the Marlboro logo in senna's car is just legendary up to this date

On The Gambling companies, you forgot to mention Sportpesa who were on Racing Point's cars a few years back.

I’m surprised the old West sponsorship didn’t get a mention, with the lettering being removed at some races, but the logo still visible!?!

Most cigarette brands, especially Marlboro, made more profit in F1 till the EU plus US banned tobacco advertisement.

It's gonna be a whole new Rich Energy fiasco when all of the cryptocurrency stuff crashes lol

Marlboro was legendary in Every Motorsport

I think the black and gold JPS Lotus livery is one of the most iconic tobacco sponsorship ones in F1,

Marlboro is featured on certain tracks... Not only just the cars

The fact tobacco hasn't been fully banned baffles me

- Oh what are you doing this weekend? - I'm watching very fast advertisements. Checks out.

3:47 As a kid I always saw or thought I saw Hieniken as sparkling water or something

Heineken actually promotes the 0.0 alcohol at F1 races so technically it’s not alcohol even though the brand is synonymous with alcohol. I’d like to see anti tobacco advertising like “DEATH, CANCER or TUMOUR” that would go down a treat.. lol

You have excellent taste in cars to use as random examples Matt.

That popping out from Ferrari 0:07 😂😂

"What surprise you the most?" No mention of fire arms

The point that stuck out for me was at the end. Vettel with the most overtakes award. Remember back in the 2010s when the cynics used to say “Vettel can’t race wheel-to-wheel” and “Vettel can’t overtake” They look very silly right now

I used to like when Busweiser were replaced with Sea World and Busch Gardens theme parks as they used to both be owned by Ansheiser-Busch

Let me tell ya somethin', when I was young, I had no clue that those were smoky brands at first, but now it all makes a context have a meaning

SportPesa was title sponsor of Racing Point in 2019, wasn't it a bet company?

I loved the way Jordan got around tobacco sponsorship banning at some circuits when they were sponsored by B&H by putting Buzzin' Hornets on their cars. I smoke B&H and still sometimes call them Buzzin' Hornets to this day.

It used to be the same with Nascar. Home Depot was Tony Stewart. Dupont was Jeff Gordon. Mr. Goodwrench was Dale sr. Budweiser was Dale Jr. Lowes was Jimmy Johnson. STP was Richard Petty. Now these cars are sponsored by companies that are not that well known.

Also old McLaren cars had the West logo on them.

Wait: Is it mission WIN NOW or mission WINNOW? Coz I always assumed the former.

Bring mission winnow back the logo was amazing on the ferrari

The first tobacco company/livery of any note was the first sponsor as you showed. JP Gold Leaf, then the JPS black & gold Lotus of the late 70s. It's so iconic that the modern "Lotus"/Renault team copied the colours. IIRC wasn't it voted to be the most beautiful livery ever or something like that? Tbh, I'd rather see non-tobacco products on the side of cars (especially the ones to help you give up) than any gambling ads. Gambling causes millions of families a great deal of misery throughout the world, especially in certain countries where it's virtually as commonplace as eating. But even where it's regulated by governments (yet still allowed, such as the UK), many families are destroyed every year by one member's gambling addiction. I don't know where I heard this, and I won't stand by it if someone has the actual data and can prove it wrong (it just seems to make sense to me), that gambling has more negative effects on the whole family than a single person drinking too much or smoking (as long as they don't smoke in the same room as kids). As debts pile up, gamblers will beg, borrow and steal from the immediate family, then the extended family, until someone says no or they all run out of money - in some cases they give initially because they're lied to regarding why the money is required (bills, a sudden breakdown of necessary appliances, school supplies...) then it's to "save the gambler" (and maybe their immediate family) from "violent people", who may not even exist. Emotional blackmail is an incredibly powerful weapon. Not only will the gambler and their own spouse & kids lose their home, but other family members can end up losing theirs too. And desperation can lead to violent acts in much the same way alcohol can turn otherwise nice people into monsters. F1, the FIA and world governments should work together on what is acceptable and what is dangerous to advertise. Tobacco, alcohol and gambling should be high on the "banned" list IMHO.

3:11 velo and vuse isn't tobacco product. That's why they still allowed to show the sponsor.

Speaking of tobacco and cigarette advertisements, didn’t the Colin McRae subaru have a cigarette ad that they had to take off?

But the velo on mcl is snus

The Williams martini was one of the best liveries

Senna’s car and JPS with Lotus was iconic and shouldn’t be censored.

JPS comes into my mind Gold on black, this was the most beautifull car of all Lol I like your WTF1 paint on the racer. I think it fits perfect :-)

3:11 Whats the name of the programm on the man's right shoulder ?

Don't forget the "Durex" Surtees TS19 back in 1976 for the British Grand Prix Still can't believe how they manage to get a tampon brand to sponsor the team! 😄

The best bit is the Ferarri red now is soooo much better than previous years

0:08 "I'm not a fanboy! I'm just passionate!"

Mission winnow is a really good looking sponsor on the ferrari

Bro I always thought Mission Winnow was a Ferrari hashtag or something to show they’re fast 😂

Even the safety car is sponsored by Croudstrike

0:58 I was just about to pop off about smoking being banned

I thought the mission winnow sponsor was part of the actual livery instead of it being a sponsor

I had no idea what Mission Winnow was.

Singha on AlfaR car is a beer company, correct me if im wrong

This is unrelated but the best racing stripes ever designed are Martini's ones.

hope they ban NFT advertisers soon, not a fan of having ponzi schemes plastered all over the sports I watch

They have taken away the cool cigarette sponsors, in race refueling, v8, v10 and v12 engines.

If you grew up in the 80's, when you see a pack of Marlboro Red's even today, you see F1.

I literally smoke JPS Players simply because of the livery sponsorship Lotus had on their Formula 1 cars in the 70's and 80's.

peroni ( aston martin's sponsor) is an italian beer

I thought it was against the law to show the Eifel tower at night because their lights are copyrighted.

I get the push to make Tobacoo advertisements illegal as well as alcohol but both are major sponsers in racing history. TBH, I can see Marijuana going legal and potentially Malboro branded joints being a thing.

Yoooo.... Ignorance is bliss. I wish I didn't know about Velo. Not sure if I can rock with McLaren, now.

IMO bookmakers will be the next one to be banned from sports sponsorships. Awareness on problem gambling is raising over the years.

The alcohol one suprises me a bit

not surprised at the absurdity of the advertising laws in any country now.

Smoking been banned for years. I always hated seeing Smoking brands.

Would the Vuse sponsor on the mclaren be banned since vape is a tobacco product

The Spanish word “Estrella” is basically pronounced the same way as the good old “‘straya” haha

In Abu Dubai alcohol isn’t banned.. You can buy it but are only allowed to drink it in your home

I'm really surprised gambling sponsors aren't banned
