I'm a Formula One fan. The Mercedes team are sponsored by them. You see their logo every time you see an on board shot of the cars.

I had no idea until this weekend.

Over/Under on the amount of time before that logo gets removed?

End of season, at least, or whenever the livery/sponsorship contract runs out. Mercedes isn’t liable to care too much - it’s just a livery.

Well you say that but their pit wall on Friday said otherwise Mercedes F1 pit wall with blue screens of death

I dunno how blind I have to be to miss this for all this time, but the air vents they have on the pit wall are the same air vents you get on a Mercedes-Benz.

It makes perfect sense, but it's rather amusing 😂
