For those not in the know: Hugo Boss designed the SS uniforms for the Nazis back in WWII.
Also, Coco Chanel of the Chanel brand was a spy for the Nazis iirc.
I mean FIA president Jean-Marie Balestre was a straight up Nazi. Actual Nazi, not profound overuse of the term that's so common lately.

I wonder what the long term future of the team looks like. Will Red Bull sell in the years to come? This will be interesting to watch.
Being able to control 4 seats is so valuable to RBR that I can't imagine anyone offering an amount that RB finds suitable. I think the sister team is here for the long haul.
I'd imagine if you're a young driver, you want to choose Red Bull's academy because it gives you a much higher chance of actually getting an F1 seat compared to Ferrari, Mercedes, etc. This means Red Bull basically gets first pick on every up and coming driver.
And it shows too. Nearly half the grid has come out of the RBYDA. Thereโs just such a higher chance of getting into F1 that itโs hard to pass up, even if they only get short stints to prove themselves.
Doesn't really surprise me. I just can't see AlphaTauri as a clothing brand get any real value from F1. I think you probably need to be an already established brand with recognition before you can dive in as a title sponsor? Like really most people when they hear AlphaTauri they think...F1 team, not clothes brand. That really lowers its value/mileage as a sponsor I would imagine.
I guess RB didn't want that advert spot for itself again though with return to Toro Rosso, so yeah sell to the highest bidder I suppose?
I donโt think Hugo Boss is a great fit for the overall Redbull brand.
I mean, does it have to be? If they take over the sponsorship then it's not like it's co-branded. There would just be the Hugo Boss F1 team. Casual viewers wouldn't even know the connection to RB.
So Alfa Romeo isn't following Orlen?
I read today that they are actually going to partner with Haas, at least for engine naming rights. So think it will be Haas Moneygram Alfa Romeo
So Hot!
