Here’s some corruption that wasn’t covered in the video: Mercedes’ largest shareholder is a Chinese state-owned automaker known as BAIC group, as well as the Kuwait Investment Authority, a government-operated Sovereign Wealth Fund. Stellantis, the holdings company that de-facto owns Ferrari to this day (only one half of the merger has shares in it), also owns Alfa Romeo, and Juventus, on top of all the other things within the FCA(Fiat-Chrysler) group, which probably explains why Ronaldo left Madrid for them, being that he was already clearly in with the high-ups at Ferrari, considering his awesome collection of them. Stellantis is the merger of Exor Holdings which is owned by the Agnelli family (descendants of Fiat founder), and PSA Group, who’s largest investors include Dongfeng which is a Chinese state-owned automaker, and the French State. And as per usual, BlackRock and Vanguard have large enough shares of almost all of these companies and teams that aren’t privately funded, to take control and make some weighty demands, by threatening to cause cascades of divestment and resulting price drops in their stocks, if they don’t meet BlackRock/Vanguard’s ESG (Environmental and Social Governance) demands, such as lowering emissions, putting out advertisements that promote globalist social values, publicly donating to various organizations that align with them, etc. The corruption rabbit hole in racing and in the car industry in general, goes very deep, and is a scary indication of our future in many other areas of life.

Also Bavaria, where im from, said they wamt to use the spy-tech of palantir, which would be a crime here in germany, from the Police it self. Also used in the US by some states. And added bonus, the founder Peter Thiel is a big contributer to Donald Trump and wants to build Islands in the ocean where there are no work protection laws gonna be implemantet. As fans of F1 we should demand change for the sport, so those shady companies cant be on any F1 car ever.
Then I presume F1 will become dead in the coming years after you ban the so called "shady" companies. I don't mind seeing a meaningless logo anyway. These companies pay the teams so they lose money, in fact it lies more on actual viewers and F1 fans to just ignore these shady companies so they don't earn marketability and money through their products. "Just" be smarter, F1 fans especially these new ones are dumb and believe that everything in F1 is cool, that's their loss in my eyes.
Everyone in the comments acting like a sponsorship for cheap wireless earbuds is equivalent to promoting cancer sticks, pyramid scheme digital currencies, and gambling.

@@ryanmugumisi2216 I just looked it up: "Natural gas and coal are used to produce nitrogen fertilizers, mineral phosphates are used to produce phosphorus fertilizers, and potash fertilizers are derived from rare potassium-rich salts. Nitrogen fertilizers account for about 40 percent of Russia's total fertilizer production, followed by potash (35 percent) and phosphorus (15 percent)." The sanctions affect all sectors! "Uralkali" is (according to the name) potash fertilizer. So there is - in deed -little gas used in the production. *My mistake!* *Potassium = Kalium* ... So, "Uralkali" means Potassium from the Ural region. As a layman, you can quickly get confused 😅

0:24 as your fellow russian i think i have to say one thing about this. Putin have such meetings with UralKali, Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil and others just because they're mining territory of country and they have to say personally to president what they got, how much emissions they produse and how much they worth and amount of taxes they have to pay. Those meetings doesn't mean something special. So it's not the cause to call Mazepin Putin's friend. Putin's friends are Medvedev, former president and prime minister, Shoigu, minister of defense (don't make jokes at him and "defense", we saw him only 2 months later after the start of invasion, we, russians, thought he fcking killed or smth) or how do you call it and other ministers. Not buisnessmen.
And russian flag livery. Even for us it was "dies from cringe" moment, but it happened because Nikita lost his right to drive with his flag, because of some strange decisions (like, nobody cares about Norwegian skiing athletes that have asthma and have to take special pills😏).

Never really got the whole issue with tobacco sponsorships. They were profitable, kept a bunch of great teams alive, made for some of the best liveries in the sport's history and basically everyone is well aware how harmful cigarettes are, but they are still gonna keep doing it anyways. As for the whole "think of the children" argument, I'll let you know that my grandpa started smoking at 9 without watching F1 and I was a kid in the golden age of tobacco sponsorships in F1 but the first time I ever put a cigarette in my mouth was during my last year of university because of stress and ever since I've only smoked pipe and cigars very sporadically. So in a world where even some doctors smoke a pack or two a day, I can assure you that F1 didn't account for anything in the grand scheme of things. The fact all that lost money killed off a lot of championship efforts for the smaller teams and made everyone turn to NFTs and such for funding really just goes to show it was a change for the worse.
Gotta pull you up on a couple of things in your vid. The car you identified as a Lotus was, in fact, a Cooper and the photo you called a Marlboro sponsored McLaren was a BRM. Regarding Rich Energy, here in the UK their product is still not available in retail outlets (not the ones I frequent at least) yet they are now sponsoring a British Touring Car team this year. Must be another Ponzi scheme?

Tobacco companies initially flocked to racing because they were forbidden from advertising on TV here in the US after 1969. They still had a legal product to market, so they had to put their ad dollars somewhere. Hence, they flocked to racing.

Last year redbulls Mobil 1 and alpine with their Castrol logos looked good where they had a big logo displayed on the car in the perfect spots

Little known fact. John Love's Team Gunston was the first team to run a proper livery as we know it today. They did it just a few races before Lotus, at Race 1, at Kyalami in January of 1968.
Here’s some corruption that wasn’t covered in the video:
Mercedes’ largest shareholder is a Chinese state-owned automaker known as BAIC group, as well as the Kuwait Investment Authority, a government-operated Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Stellantis, the holdings company that de-facto owns Ferrari to this day (only one half of the merger has shares in it), also owns Alfa Romeo, and Juventus, on top of all the other things within the FCA(Fiat-Chrysler) group, which probably explains why Ronaldo left Madrid for them, being that he was already clearly in with the high-ups at Ferrari, considering his awesome collection of them. Stellantis is the merger of Exor Holdings which is owned by the Agnelli family (descendants of Fiat founder), and PSA Group, who’s largest investors include Dongfeng which is a Chinese state-owned automaker, and the French State.
And as per usual, BlackRock and Vanguard have large enough shares of almost all of these companies and teams that aren’t privately funded, to take control and make some weighty demands, by threatening to cause cascades of divestment and resulting price drops in their stocks, if they don’t meet BlackRock/Vanguard’s ESG (Environmental and Social Governance) demands, such as lowering emissions, putting out advertisements that promote globalist social values, publicly donating to various organizations that align with them, etc.
The corruption rabbit hole in racing and in the car industry in general, goes very deep, and is a scary indication of our future in many other areas of life.
i think that you are wrong about mercedes.
Hmm, Mercedes are owned by Ineos, Toto wolff, and Daimler ag which is mother company of mercedes.
@@user-nl8cc4ti8t daimler is mercedes. "Daimler-Benz was formed in 1926 by the merger of two pioneering German automobile companies, one founded by Karl Benz, the other by Gottlieb Daimler"
@@user-nl8cc4ti8t 22% of Mercedes’ stock is privately held. The majority of the vote in decisions of the company is made up of public/government/institutional investors outside of Daimler.
@@TheBrainwasher82 Yep, lets leave aside the F1 team is separate from Mercedes Benz and has a different owner make-up, the BIAC Group 'red herring' comes from their collaboration with Mercedes Benz in China where they make C and E-Class cars for the domestic market. BIAC also have similar relationship with Hyundai and formerly with American owned AMC Jeep.
My mother would disown me if i bought her such garbage as Raycons.
My favorite F1 team in the 1980s, Brabham, won two driver’s championships with their title sponsor being a dairy company. That’s one of the reasons I was a fan.

“This video is sponsored by raycon, the totally not rebranded chinese earbuds that dont live up to any claims stated on the box”
If all Raycon is guilty of is false advertising and sub-standard product quality, then they're basically angels compared to the major sponsors of F1 teams (though I suspect Raycon's worst offenses have to do with unethical labor practices anyway).
@@BostonFenian Howso? I'd argue outright lying to customers, scamming them, overcharging for a product, and underpaying your employees is pretty fucked up.

Also the fact that corporate slavery is a human rights abuse in and of itself, feeding a cycle where you overcharge consumers and underpay workers, making everyone poorer and lowering the quality of life of humanity in general.
Cigarette advertising is whatever. Everyone knows that they're addictive and cause cancer, it says it right on the box. Someone acknowledges that and makes a conscious choice. Unlike being lied to about a product. If it was still in the past and they marketed shit like "health benefits" then I would 100% agree, though.

McLaren has a cryptic letters on their wings, I have no idea if they are actual letters or just blocks of paint put together.
This video may be the worst by donut media. A childish script with a ton of misleading information.
The worst offender in my book is Palantir with their partnership with Ferrari.
Palantir is a Software company which, with their progamm called 'Gotham' spies on the public in the german state of Hessen. Also Bavaria, where im from, said they wamt to use the spy-tech of palantir, which would be a crime here in germany, from the Police it self.
Also used in the US by some states.
And added bonus, the founder Peter Thiel is a big contributer to Donald Trump and wants to build Islands in the ocean where there are no work protection laws gonna be implemantet.
As fans of F1 we should demand change for the sport, so those shady companies cant be on any F1 car ever.
Contributor to Donald Trump?
Unless you are one of those moronic biden voters that is considered to be a good thing.
Then I presume F1 will become dead in the coming years after you ban the so called "shady" companies. I don't mind seeing a meaningless logo anyway. These companies pay the teams so they lose money, in fact it lies more on actual viewers and F1 fans to just ignore these shady companies so they don't earn marketability and money through their products. "Just" be smarter, F1 fans especially these new ones are dumb and believe that everything in F1 is cool, that's their loss in my eyes.
Which I totally agree but good luck
I mean its called Palantir! What did you expect?
Palantir is even named for the evil disco ball from _The Lord of the Rings._

Everyone in the comments acting like a sponsorship for cheap wireless earbuds is equivalent to promoting cancer sticks, pyramid scheme digital currencies, and gambling.

Let's be honest though... Mazepin getting dumped has gotten Haas it's first ever points qualifying positions. His dad's money paid for a lovely new car, and now they don't even have to watch him crash it ever again!

Isn’t Uralkali a fertilizer producer/exporter? Since when did they get into oil?
ruclips.net/video/RjrFpgFLtUQ/видео.html it's here
It is ,they made a mistake writing the script
Well, fertilizer is produced with the use of natural gas.
And oil and gas are relatively close to each other.
@@espneindanke9172 well this is a potassium based fertilizer and well hydrocarbons don't play much if a role in the production
@@ryanmugumisi2216
I just looked it up:
"Natural gas and coal are used to produce nitrogen fertilizers, mineral phosphates are used to produce phosphorus fertilizers, and potash fertilizers are derived from rare potassium-rich salts. Nitrogen fertilizers account for about 40 percent of Russia's total fertilizer production, followed by potash (35 percent) and phosphorus (15 percent)."
The sanctions affect all sectors!
"Uralkali" is (according to the name) potash fertilizer. So there is - in deed -little gas used in the production. *My mistake!*
*Potassium = Kalium* ... So, "Uralkali" means Potassium from the Ural region.
As a layman, you can quickly get confused 😅

@@tylercampbell2362 oh yeah, nearly forgot those.

The "alternative entry" and you can do that like 3 times if I remember correctly (illegal where I live actually, they are banned in multiple countries). I mean, yeah, they pay charities technically, but like next to nothing, a miniscule percentile, and the winners nearly always have model like pictures, which is kind of weird to say the least.
Says every f1 sponsor is shady at 0:54 and proceeds to do an sponsorship for raycon 😂😬
I laughed straight hard! Done get me wrong, but follow manga channels that usually get demonetized or have a low score for the ad revenue! So, I understand why sponsorships are important for them! But some channels really don't need to take every shady sponsorship just to proceed to talk about other companies doing the same! 🤷🏻♂️
Veddy veddy interesting. Good thing you didn't get into the history of a certain manufacturer during WW2. McLaren removed Marlboro from their cars in their museum, which is very expensive real estate, nothing like biting the hands that made you rich.
Well actually the solution is simple. If politicians actually do their jobs rather than keep getting money from corporations, none of the world’s modern problems wouldn’t have existed

0:24 as your fellow russian i think i have to say one thing about this. Putin have such meetings with UralKali, Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil and others just because they're mining territory of country and they have to say personally to president what they got, how much emissions they produse and how much they worth and amount of taxes they have to pay. Those meetings doesn't mean something special. So it's not the cause to call Mazepin Putin's friend. Putin's friends are Medvedev, former president and prime minister, Shoigu, minister of defense (don't make jokes at him and "defense", we saw him only 2 months later after the start of invasion, we, russians, thought he fcking killed or smth) or how do you call it and other ministers. Not buisnessmen.
And russian flag livery. Even for us it was "dies from cringe" moment, but it happened because Nikita lost his right to drive with his flag, because of some strange decisions (like, nobody cares about Norwegian skiing athletes that have asthma and have to take special pills😏). But still, yeah, it was cringy livery.

They killed the best liveries by banning cigarett sponsors. Camel Marlboro and West are were the most iconic liveries of the sport.

11:28 I didn't know Mattia Binotto was evil
Never really got the whole issue with tobacco sponsorships. They were profitable, kept a bunch of great teams alive, made for some of the best liveries in the sport's history and basically everyone is well aware how harmful cigarettes are, but they are still gonna keep doing it anyways. As for the whole "think of the children" argument, I'll let you know that my grandpa started smoking at 9 without watching F1 and I was a kid in the golden age of tobacco sponsorships in F1 but the first time I ever put a cigarette in my mouth was during my last year of university because of stress and ever since I've only smoked pipe and cigars very sporadically. So in a world where even some doctors smoke a pack or two a day, I can assure you that F1 didn't account for anything in the grand scheme of things. The fact all that lost money killed off a lot of championship efforts for the smaller teams and made everyone turn to NFTs and such for funding really just goes to show it was a change for the worse.
Gotta pull you up on a couple of things in your vid. The car you identified as a Lotus was, in fact, a Cooper and the photo you called a Marlboro sponsored McLaren was a BRM.
