Those stupid Santander trophies

[FIA]

Can ayone explain to me why anyone would allowed Santander to use those stupid trophies. I don't mind maybe thw 2nd and 3rd place drivers getting a sponsored trophy, but not the winner. Lewis in Germany and Sebastian his first race win and he gets a corporate trophy.

P.S sorry if this has already been posted.

apparently (as per bob varsha) this violates the rules, that the trophy, in some capacity, has to resemble a traditional cup.

We mentioned this while watching the offending ceremonies. Ugly corporate bling that you'd almost be ashamed to display in your trophy cabinet.

I'm all for a variation on the traditional "cups", but they should have some grounding in motorsport: like the stunning Jack Brabham steering wheels used in Australia for example.

Anyone remember the Sega Sonic the Hedgehog trophy awarded at the 1993 European GP. Lovely :laugh:

Dave, or the Sepang version of the "grandstand" cup.

Braced on your valuate to the production (was it 5 columns in a row nigh Wife Palin lying?)I'd say that cap is pretty low and you may excrete already lineage 2 adena (http://www.ugamegold.com/c_Lineage2-Adena/) exceeded it."Your unfitness to secernate between creating riches for stockholders and employees and creating wealthiness for one's own implementation is implausibly pitiful.

Wow are you serious!? that's crazy...

...In regards to these Santander trophies, I guess it's simply marketing at its best (or worst for F1 fans :rolleyes: )

I think they look good, but I don't like corporate trophies, I think all the poster in the back the colours and the race name is a good enough exposure, but what do I know.
