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.
An NFT of 1 million jellybeans, more like
Still a more costworthy investment than the Haas in 2021 lmao
Yes because if i tell you that this set of 1 million jelly beans is totally unique and that they happen to be worth a pound each, then this would be a significant financial reward
I think Seb's still counting his

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 :)
So by that standard they should rename paul ricard to \\\\\\
@@indominusrex1652 no it's French alcohol so we allow it /s
@@AlexbasicC so that means that if any team gets a french alcohol sponsor they will allow it hmmm
@@indominusrex1652 nah, not on the cars, it would be too hypocritical, even for us. But keeping it on the circuit name, yes for the sake of "heritage". And the fact the whole south of France will revolt if someone say bad things about Ricard
@@AlexbasicC oh god that means i just caused a revolt
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. 😂😂
no, that was a meme from that
Mission spinnow
Are you serious?
That was just a meme

Marlboro McLaren of the late 80s is undoubtedly the most iconic livery of all!
Graham Chapman stares at you in John Player Special.
Debatable as the JPS black Lotus looked amazing. So did Rothmans Williams.

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
I loved the black & gold JPS branding on the 70s-mid80s Lotus cars.
why shame? it's advertising that doesn't work on adults who already either are smokers or not... so it actually works best on youngsters. pretty nefarious if you ask me.
@@alveolate the simple fact that we're still talking about tobacco advertisements in 2022 means that their past investments to sponsor F1 earned them LIFELONG advertisement and exposure. When F1 makes throwback videos on past GPs you can still see Marlboro, Camel and other cigarette brands.
Agree 100% we are being punished because the UN wants to treat everyone like children
it's banned so that kids don't get affected and start smoking
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.
so ur telling us u have the mind of a 12 year old that can be influenced by pretty colours? mkay then
Rothmans royals were a horrible smoke.

Daim, Uralkali got banned even from the vidyo about banned sponsors... 🤣
Was it really banned? 😳
Both masespin and uralcal was banned
They are sponsors of war in Ukraine
@@deerlord2363 yes, Russian Companies are banned
@@Dexter037S4 not really banned. They just got no way to pay for the sponsorships
F1: Let’s ban Cigarettes.
Also F1: Let’s go to Saudi Arabia while having “We Race As One” stickers on the cars.
Yeah no shit. But you know how hypocritical these elites are..
almost every one of these sport regulators are hypocritical af. FIFA made sanctions against Mexico for their "offensive" chants but organized WCs on countries where it's illegal to be homosexual...
@Arif Al Amin what's wrong with that?
Can you be specific? Russia is mass bombing civilians following their invasion. Russia should be banned for this act. Can you please tell the world why you think the US should be banned?
@Arif Al Amin I’m pretty sure most countries have been in conflict with other countries, for most of their history. Just look at the UK, France, or Germany, for example. The reason why Russia is not being raced at is because it is invading another nation for power, while the US’s recent wars were over terrorism and the protection of American citizens from these terrorists. Unfortunately, the war lasted longer than it should, but now the US has pulled back its troops. In your mind, the only countries that could host F1 are Sweden and Switzerland.
Sorry, but just calling other people “maniacs” just because they don’t agree with your viewpoint is pretty ridiculous.
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.
Not even close buddy. Verstappen overtook Raikkonen off the track, which was a pretty clear penalty, that's why the decision was quick.

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.
JPS Lotus was iconic...
I miss the Jordan "BE ON EDGE" / Buzzing Hornets cars...
That's a clever marketing techniques I must say....
after the Marlboro McLaren, JPS is the most iconic cigarette sponsor in F1
I remember that car
That was used of Benson & Hedges in sponsorship was banned in 2002.
Be on Edge, buzzin hornets, bitten heroes...
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.
A few people made the livery’s with the Rothmans and Martini logos, just gotta download them

Remember the genius Marlboro barcode in 2007?
So genius, they brought it back for 2010 as well.
the 2007 version was less obvious. the 2009-10 version was too obvious
Looks like the NASCAR logo has entered F1 with those bar codes
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
yellow jordan and benson&hedges is also super iconic.
williams' compaq
The Martini livery too. Not cigarettes, obviously, but still just as iconic
but what would be the point of sponsoring a team for "nostalgia" when the side effect of doing so is encouraging harmful consumption of products they sell
edit: he changed it, he said he wanted to bring the sponsors back for nostalgia
@@WETiLAMBY it's always the people who don't watch f1 the ones deciding what is allowed and what not
"Gambling: Allowed." Well obviously - there's crypto ads everywhere.
All forms of investing are gambling not just crypto.
@@Sparrowash97 Touché
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.
It was removed so kids wont get affected and start smoking
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
I don't think that will happen, their deal ended last season. Hence why there was no mission winnow logo in the car presentation
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
Rothmans was the title sponsor for the Honda factory team in the old 500 cc from 1981 to 1993 I think. Repsol, the current sponsor, replaced them in 94 when they got the Williams sponsorship. Marlboro sponsored Roberts Yamaha (the de facto factory team for Yamaha for many years) and, later, Ducati.
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).
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
Nobody cares and it isn’t fun
What about the "WEST" McLaren?
They put 'East' on instead and then the drivers names 'Mika' and 'David' in the same font, in the same oval using the same livery.
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
Cryptocurrency is cringe
@@KitKitChanIsaac Fiat currency is cringe
tell that to people that purchased bitcoin pre 2020. This mentality is just people that don't understand the technology.
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)
Jordan, team with their yellow colour. Running penthouse.
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 👍
Ah yes, crypto in F1, the pinnacle of sponsorship. At least we don't have RAID: Shadow Legends on the Red Bull yet.
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
I don't smoke but the Marlboro logo in senna's car is just legendary up to this date
Did we forget SportPesa being the title sponsor for Racing Point?
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
- Oh what are you doing this weekend?
- I'm watching very fast advertisements.
Checks out.
On The Gambling companies, you forgot to mention Sportpesa who were on Racing Point's cars a few years back.
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
same
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
in motorsport overall. The most well known (and likely only) racing in the world where they never had a car was Nascar, because Winston signed as a series sponsor with exclusive rights, only RJ Reynolds brands could be advertised (that was their move when the FCC banned their direct ads on TV after they made an ad with Fred and Barney from The Flinstones). Their presence was huge because they backed major teams that won almost all the time. McLaren in F1, Penske in Indycar, Peter Brock in the old ATCC, I think Toyota in group B rally, Yamaha in the old 500 cc.
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?
Yep. State Express 555. They replaced it with three commas in places where the advertising was banned.
@@Quaker763Or bananas as well wasn't it?
Found an old CD of the (admittedly awful) Rally Challenge (not to be confused with the much better and later released Rallisport Challenge), which had a lot of 555 branding in it, up to and including, a biography of the company, and shots of the 555 sponsored Scooby for menu backgrounds, now granted when you had the menus up you couldn't see a lot of it
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
Capitalism at its finest
and alcohol, and gambling, ...
And crypto….
Shady stuff pays more, so that's it
Yeah, lets just ban individual choices and personal sovereignty next. Clearly, people cant decide whats best for them on their own, and need a leader like you Kenzie
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! 😄
yeah, who doesn't know the tampons from the most famous condom brand
@@sebastianpeheim8851 does Durex even make Tampons?
Fun fact in '76 Murray Walker was under strict instruction not to mention Durex on the BBC, yet by '88 when they sponsored bikes he basically had to do a safe sex promo before every race.
Jordan, being sponsored by penthouse nude magazine for men and had women in racing suits unzip all over the cars and drivers lol
Must have been the Australian sticky tape branding.
"What surprise you the most?"
No mention of fire arms
3:11 Whats the name of the programm on the man's right shoulder ?
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.
Carlsberg get around alcohol sponsorship bans by substituting their company name for the word 'probably' in the same font. I know it's the first word in their company slogan, so there is some sense behind it, but it's still an odd word to see being used like that.
And the Mild Seven / Team Spirit.
That popping out from Ferrari 0:07 😂😂
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.
How about a Rusty Wallace/Kurt Busch/Brad Keselowski's Miller Lite and Sterling Marlin/David Stremme's Coors Light has now banned in NASCARs Sponsorship.
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.
Yes but what if u win tho?
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
Even the safety car is sponsored by Croudstrike
The best bit is the Ferarri red now is soooo much better than previous years
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.
Need to get crypto/NFTs on the list
then investing should be on the list... which would mean no more sponsors because there for investors more than every day people.
I still have no idea why he mentioned NFTs
Would the Vuse sponsor on the mclaren be banned since vape is a tobacco product
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.
Yeah they have, and F1 has never been better
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) 🤦🏻♂️
