This is what annoys me about Bernie and F1

They allow this BS to go on.

Basically, Toyota is gonna do like Red Bull Racing did with Superman returns and likely put Timo or Jarno in a black cape if they get to the podium.

OK, now, if you want to slather your Turdota F1 racer in black paint and batman symbols and deck your drivers out in black racing suits and such, that's one thing. For for Chrissakes, if one of the dudes manages to make just a small modicum of history and win, place or show in a race put on by the grandest auto racing sanctioning body in history, don't cheapen the dude's (or dudette's) achievement by making them stand there like a corporate shill wearing a stupid cape. Totally inappropriate IMO and I highly doubt that the racers agreed to such asshattery. It was like a team owner or boss who put their hand out for the pay out and said "Sure thing, boss, whatever you want!" thinking the whole time that their driver wouldn't get any where near the podium.

Yeah, I know, random and silly stuff to be complaining about but it's just further examples of greediness that just irk me. Like the teams aren't raking in millions already.

BTW, if you are getting in to racing to make money, you're foolish. You gotta have a big pile of money first to be able to make any discernible income in racing.
