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

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

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... 🤣

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Remember the genius Marlboro barcode in 2007?

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

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

Marlboro Ferrari was too good to stay.

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

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

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

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

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).

What about the "WEST" McLaren?

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"

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.

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

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

It's gonna be a whole new Rich Energy fiasco when all of the cryptocurrency stuff crashes 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’m surprised the old West sponsorship didn’t get a mention, with the lettering being removed at some races, but the logo still visible!?!

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 ?

What an excellent informative video, cheers 👍

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

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?

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

Was waiting for Uralkali to be mentioned lol

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

Great video as always

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

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

Marlboro was legendary in Every Motorsport

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

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

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

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

Marlboro had such a presence in f1

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

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

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

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

The fact tobacco hasn't been fully banned baffles me

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! 😄

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

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

That popping out from Ferrari 0:07 😂😂

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

But the velo on mcl is snus

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

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.

Bring mission winnow back the logo was amazing on the ferrari

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

I had no idea what Mission Winnow was.

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

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

The Williams martini was one of the best liveries

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

Even the safety car is sponsored by Croudstrike

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

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

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

Need to get crypto/NFTs on the list

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

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 :-)

Mission winnow is a really good looking sponsor on the ferrari

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The alcohol one suprises me a bit

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

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

Actually VELO on mclarens car isnt a tobbaco brand because its snus and it doesnt have any tobacco in it only nicotine

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

Haas name on the sidepod, when looked at upsidedown looks like "Sniff".. which I thought was a clever way to surrepticiously get a sponsorship deal for a certain Columbian product!

I'm really surprised gambling sponsors aren't banned

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

Fun fact, if the idiots at Codacons didn’t sue Ferrari for the Mission Winnow part of the livery many of fellow Italian enthusiasts(myself included) wouldn’t even know that was something associated with cigarette brands because we honestly didn’t care a bit, we just thought the green looked awful and that was it. But hey, they had to make a big case out of it and - the irony - now basically everyone knows what Mission Winnow is and that it’s related to smoking(or its alternatives) 🤦🏻‍♂️
