There is countless "Rich Energies" types in F1.... this year we have "ROKiT " that sell cheap phones in the UK, somehow F1 title sponsor money (tens of millions $)....
Another is "Husky Chocolate" they sponsor everything, how can they afford it? They only cater to hotels and such, so it kinda makes sense for them....Tons of those types of companies though...
Anyways, Haas says they'll be "more careful next time"... You know the CEO of Rich Energy "Storey" (the guy with the massive beard in the article below) would get on twitter and fight with fans right? He would talk crap about Haas when they would do bad too mid-race lol

You guys saw the Drama going on today in F1 today? The teams (non-Ferrari) released joint-statements in protest of the FIA handling of the Ferrari PU investigation.... Last year they all accused Ferrari of cheating with fuel/oil consumption (Red bull/Horner/Max calling their exhaust smell "Fruity")...
So the FIA investigated all this time and last week 10min before the testing ended they released a statement that said everything was fine and that all the findings where to be kept confidential ...
As you can imagine, this didnt sit well... well they protested today... *grabs popcorn*
They all said the same, this is Mclaren's:

They even timed the releases, screenshot of email from a journalist / media lmao
Edit: Others that come to mind was Sportpesa and Force India/RP until just recently, literally a Kenyan gambling site...Ferrari's "Mission Winnow" is Phillip Morris/Marlboro.... "Better tomorrow" with Mclaren, its British American Tobacco lol
