Re: F1 celebrations
Because what started out in 1967 as a spontaneous one off celebration by the then winner of the Le Mans 24 hour race is now deeply embedded into the sport. Not only did Moet et Chandon start the trend by giving the drivers the special edition bottles of champagne but podium drivers are actually paid to extravagantly spray the champagne, and get bonuses for newsworthy coverage of the act of spraying - it's just another corporate sponsorship deal. I can't find the article I read a few years back but I believe the deal (was) somewhere in the region of 100K per season... and then competition came into play and different races now have different champagne sponsors, with extra payment clauses if the label can be clearly seen during the "sprayage".
That's not a leopard!

Re: F1 celebrations
When I worked in the drinks industry it was common knowledge that at the time that GSK paid footballers £60 per pack-shot to drink from those turquoise Lucozade Sport bottles in their post match interviews. I never saw any other footballer cash in on this quite as much as our very own SKD who'd constantly take several little sips. And here's the thing - they contained water, not Lucozade Sport.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Not only did Moet et Chandon start the trend by giving the drivers the special edition bottles of champagne but podium drivers are actually paid to extravagantly spray the champagne, and get bonuses for newsworthy coverage of the act of spraying - it's just another corporate sponsorship deal.

Re: F1 celebrations
I didn't know that but I'm not surprised. The champagne on the other hand is champagne. The extravagance of just wasting the damned stuff by multi-millionaire playboy risk taking drivers is part of the advertising appeal, as they see it. Product placement in the most hedonistic environment, with the benefit of that environment reeking of money, without the embarrassment of condoning drink-driving (coz they're spraying it around after driving) is your Champagne House's ideal advertising niche.Bruce Rioja wrote:When I worked in the drinks industry it was common knowledge that at the time that GSK paid footballers £60 per pack-shot to drink from those turquoise Lucozade Sport bottles in their post match interviews.

Re: F1 celebrations
Could be that in addition to being a world class racing driver Lewis Hamilton is also a bit of a prat? I've often wondered.thebish wrote:i get the spraying... that's fine - but the aggressive spraying point blank in the face of a reluctant sponsor/host girl?? that I don't get...

Re: F1 celebrations
No doubt about it. You watch next time any top golfer wins a title and they're interviewed on screen, they will scratch their head, itch their face, wipe their lips and adjust their cap - all so their gaudy watch gets some screen time.Bruce Rioja wrote:When I worked in the drinks industry it was common knowledge that at the time that GSK paid footballers £60 per pack-shot to drink from those turquoise Lucozade Sport bottles in their post match interviews.

Regarding the F1 'celebrations', do Moet et al offer a non-alcholic version for the Abu Dhabi and Bahrain races...?

Re: F1 celebrations
Nope, nor in Indonesia/Malaysia etc.. I think they give licensing dispensation to the GP circuit, I think it's all part of the F1 deal, i.e you play by our rules otherwise we'll take our circus to some other town kind of ultimatum.Dr Hotdog wrote:No doubt about it.

Re: F1 celebrations
I think them's just the studs what replace his lobewear (for health and safey reasons so that if he crashes and avoids death he also avoids deaf by not having his ear ripped off) whilst racing; after race, during his louche moments when supping his champagne out of troughs, he wears little diamond things that glitter more effectively therefore giving his admiring onlookers more of an idea as to how much cash he's worth.Bruce Rioja wrote:Does he wear those fecking redhooclious earrings under his helmet when he's racing?

Re: F1 celebrations
I'm just a little curious as to why it's taken you 6 months to get upset by it. Surely she's dried out by now?
I do think that anyone on a podium after an F1, should probably know that there's a fair chance, they're going to end up covered in bubbly. As it happens, her mate in the background is pissing herself laughing (need to see the other pics)....
That's not to say I don't think Hamilton's a dick, but c'mon podium, F1, champers everywhere....

I have a slow-burn fuse!
sprayage = fine! point-blank in-your-face targetted spraying = dickish behaviour! simple!

Re: F1 celebrations
I take issue with this sprayage = fine attitude. There are seals clubbed to death in the arctic who would have loved to have had the opportunity to taste just one drop of the fine champagne extravagantly wasted. I also mourn for the grapevines, all that effort just so Hamilton can play the fxckin dick...

Bukakke came from that part of the world, a bit of champagne in the face is nothing to them.

Point blank?!!!! He's an F1 racing driver - that's breaking distance at 180 MPH he's that far away. It's mainly bubbles and doesn't really hurt.thebish wrote:Worthy4England wrote:I'm just a little curious as to why it's taken you 6 months to get upset by it. Surely she's dried out by now?

Now for Putin, he should've left the cork in and got the fcker right between the eyes.
