Placement Advertising

I noticed in a couple of shots on the grid yesterday, a can of Red Bull
sitting prominently on one of the Ferrari bonnets. Unless Red Bull are
Ferrari sponsors (which I'm not aware of), that was a hell of a bit of free
advertising for them.

Oh no.

I see it now.

Red Bull using the K-Max video for an ad.

I mean, what else explains the man's stamina? If K-Max hasn't got wings,
then I readlly dont know who has.

Not sure, I think Max takes it in enema form, then squirts it into the
mouth of oh dear, I think I've got the wrong videos.

Ferarri supply Red Bull with engines. Maybe its a tie-in with that.

I was wondering about that too. Maybe Red Bull is the energy drink of
Formula One?

Well *maybe* it was being used by one of the crew? Certainly they work
long hours...

I don't think it's actual cans of Red Bull that were seen. I think it
was just the drinks bottles like the ones the drivers are always
supping on after the race.

It's sponsorship.

Those are (pardon my language) NASCAR apparently. Thing work very
differently there.

Those are just for illustration...I'm sure the bottles work the same in
the US as in Spain.

Apparently not. The yellow plate with the ADAC logo is, AFAIK, a rear wing
endplate for a German F3 single-seater and the Red Bull logo in the background
seems to be carried on the nose of one such car.

Possibly, but it would be very unusual in today's intense world of marketing
for a product to get such exposure without somebody paying over a wad of
money.

So, if I were to work for an F1 team who didn't have say 7 UP as a
sponsor, I wouldn't be allowed to go to a vending machine an buy a can
of 7 up?

You might not score any brownie points if you left it sitting on the middle
of the bonnet whilst on the grid.
