The real publicity value of F1

The real publicity value of F1#138013

I have often wondered how much F1 actually influences choice of road cars.

I drive a BMW but support Brawn. I am French but support Button.

I bet it affects not one jot what car one buys for the road.

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did

Buy a Honda and write Virgin all over it.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.

Probably it influences it quite a bit. I know for sure when Alonso and Hamilton were in Mclaren the sale of mercedes must have jumped way up. Also when Alonso was doing really well in renault renault sales were booming. Ferrari is such a popular sportscar despite it being far from the best probably thanks to F1. Definitely helps add prestige I think.

With you all the way!!!

Although I like them better with Todt and Schumacher gone.
I like Domenicalli and Felippe and i think Smedly is great.
