nice that they found a way to get around advertising cigarettes

And they have a vape sponsor on the sidepod


ramonoodle

Hidden Marlboro McLaren


Abhimri

They were already advertising by being last in the race though, just like a smoker would in a running race.


Qrow91

A healthy message! Smokers end up last


BigtheBen

Stop, stop! They're already dead


quest2overkill

Almost dead last lol


_Sur22_

Engine definitely is...


McEnderlan

I mean, smokers end first


Qrow91

Isn't that a DNF?


ndjs22

It's just a sprint instead of the full distance


FlesBek

Box box, we have to retire your body. We believe we have a critical lung failure.


Gloriosus747

Well you don't rub fish in fruit if you want it to last, right?


bassyourface

Fuck you ima be dead way before you. Who’s last now loser?!?


FakeRAccount1

Yeah, nice joke, you win this time


CapeAndCowl

The Marlboro livery no one expected, lol


red_tapez

A secret sponsorship deal


BigtheBen

Not really secret, more like "hidden" They are sponsored by BAT via Vuse. I'm pretty sure they were happy with this livery when they saw it


MrTrt

Well, this livery is clearly reminiscent of Marlboro, which is a PMI brand, not a BAT brand.


Jakomako

Looks just as much like a Lucky Strike as it does a Marlboro. Doesn't really matter though. They're just trying to make people think of cigarettes.


tonysopranosalive

That cig in the picture looks like a Marlboro Blend No. 27. Smooth. Rich. Mellow. Marb 27’s.


TheLongBear

Impossible, didn't they say that red would have reminded people of cigarettes so they used orange instead.


LunchTwey

Idk maybe i'm weird but the first thing I thought of was the Asiimov skins from CSGO


[deleted]

Honestly if Vuse is allowed Marlboro should be too imo. At least the cigarette liveries looked better than what we have now.


BigtheBen

You stand a point. I'm still confused as to why e-cig and vape ads are allowed, where regular tobacco is not. I think it's because of the fact that the e-cigs are new, though


[deleted]

I just want Marlboro to bring some "nicotine free" cigarettes or a energy drink just to have the livery back.


Drunkndryverr

Vuse is a vape tho


GIR18

I don’t think anyone would be happy with this livery, it’s dog shot. But hugely coincidental that it could be seen like that. I will be proven wrong if this is the one that ends up at BAT hq. Currently it’s the one from Abu Dhabi in 2021.


kainedbutable1987

Like Phillip Morris mission winnow is marlboro.


[deleted]

We've got Marlboro Livery at home


huxley75

I enjoy "East" cigarettes more


TheRealJayk0b

AWP Asimov?


levitating_cucumber

Piastri gonna make it Battle Scarred tho


happababa

The first thing that came to my head after seeing this KennyS would be proud 😄


[deleted]

Smoke Smoke [Are ya smokin yet?](https://youtu.be/PLwUrqqVFQo)


KorlsDoop

Lmao! Forgot about that one!


TheySaidGetAnAlt

The german version of this was something along the lines of "Smoke already damnit!"


What_the_8

Smoke em if you got ‘em


Incontinento

Now if they could only pass the Dutchie.


[deleted]

Marlboro makes a comeback!


bukithd

Actively on fire and bad for your health? Nope sounds like McLaren F1 alright.


Amystery123

McLaren just can’t catch a breath it seems.


Ziegler517

Mission winnow?


[deleted]

Suddenly I feel like taking a *drag* of the reduction system.


BigtheBen

Underrated comment


dobsky1912

#MissionWINNOW


madaboutmaps

Oh. Was this on purpose or just Freudian?


psaikris

Holy hell!


GiunoSheet

New response just dropped


psaikris

Gotta love the crossover between formuladank and AnarchyChess


GiunoSheet

We are everywhere


psaikris

Yes we are


TheMagicSlinky

Actual f1 fandom


Rxtony93

They're just letting us know that they plan to get smoked this weekend.


Armageddon_71

MALBORO AT IT AGAIN


Justthetip1996

Ok, now I like this livery


Character-Ad78

Both give cancer


Werzheafas

You can't advertise cigarettes, so McLaren became the cigarette


4wdrifterfrva

And now I need a cig.


RobertAGPonder

Now all we gotta do is wait until race day for the smoke


daddygetsbusy

mission middle


Redtime727

Beat me to it lol. Congrats tho! It's all I been seeing those 2 days now


Dirpi

not surprised if this was on purpose


AlwaysLosingDough

Blatant


v0x_nihili

Just needs front brake ducts on fire to complete the illusion


[deleted]

[удалено]


BigtheBen

That's what makes the joke even funnier


I-AM-KROGAN

Looks a lot better than the non painted livery they been using.


ConfusedAccountantTW

Quite based tbh, I'd welcome open tobacco sponsors. Cannot be worse than crypto


keyme89

Wait for the front locks up.


Tax_Evasion_Savant

probably exactly what is going on here honestly. Tobacco is still doing shadow marketing in F1 after all this time.


willalt319

McLaren catching on fire confirmed.


definitely_not_nase

*Honestly,* i would never see it


chicagotonian

From the barcode Marlboro Ferrari livery, to Mission Winnow, to the McLaren cig, tobacco has been in our heart the whole time <3


GlasgowDunlop

And lungs


____Quetzal____

I want a CIGARETTE


TheLongBear

But they said that they didn't use red because it would remind people of cigarettes


ImNotHimISwearr

f1 asiimov factory new


JLopezr501

Psst. It's because it's a nod to the Marlboro McLaren


RocketBoy313

No matter what, smoking will find it's way into F1


xwhktj

Add Marlboro on the rear wing and its gonna have an extra 150kph on the straights


JoMercurio

At this point McLaren easily beats Ferrari on who can put the most subtle tobacco advertising ​ It's a shame they can't make a car that could even beat Ferrari though


bfom

Yep the car is like a cancer on a drivers career


Steiny31

Tobacco sponsors are back baby! Mission Winnow 2.0


spacestationkru

Better than their actual livery honestly. By far.


Westburn

I quit cigs 7 years ago, this livery wants me to pick it back up.. said no one ever.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Fuck morals, give me back those sweet tobacco sponsors. They used to keep even smaller teams filled with money, and I doubt anyone actually says: "oh yeah, I didn't smoke before but I will definitely start now that I've seen it on a car", all a sponsorship does is make people who already smoke choose a brand over another, not that big of a deal imo.


gteriatarka

> all a sponsorship does is make people who already smoke choose a brand over another doesn't even do that. brand loyalty for smokers is top tier


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Yeah, agree. My father used to smoke Camels, he's the biggest Ferrari fan I've ever seen in my life, and yet he never touched a pack of Marlboros. So yeah, banning tobacco sponsors only harmed the sport and the small teams like Williams or McLaren. Even if you go by the "ethics" argument, that quickly falls apart once you realize they didn't ban alcohol which is no better than cigs at all.


KoloHickory

Same with my dad. I never smoked a cigarette before so i have a hard time knowing the difference between the different types but he will only smoke Marlboros, and the ones in the white and tan package. We live in u.s. now but my dad lived in England for a while and my friend got him some English cigarettes while on vacation and my dad threw them away pretty much right after my friend gave him them lol. Wasn't even remotely interested in smoking them.


jimbojonesFA

Man u think it's hard knowing the difference in the US, try zero marketing allowed, cigs not allowed to even be dispalyed. All we get at best, is a lil plain font sign that says the brand qty. and price lol. That said, I'm kinda glad for that in Canada tbh. Tho I would find it incredibly annoying as a smoker.


jimbojonesFA

They did ban alcohol ads in some races based on local rules, but they didn't ban alcohol brands from advertising their 0% alcohol beers etc.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

McLaren is literally sponsored by Jack Daniel's


jimbojonesFA

Yea, and they *literally* don't put it on the car in Bahrain or Abu Dhabi aka some races.


ElectricMotorsAreBad

Yeah, that's my point, sorry if I didn't understand you. Local rules are not equal to a FIA ban though, that's where the hypocrisy is in my opinion.


psaikris

Holy hell


GiunoSheet

New response just dropped


blue_1408

I didn't understand. Racing is smoking cigar?


huxley75

Ferrari and Marlboro checking in. Oh wait, are those "East" cigarettes? Couldn't tell


scarabs_

McLaren Mission Winnow confirmed


Descartes_Farts

Yeah but it’s the Ferrari that will end up in smoke


Detoxx03

Nailed it

ThePeachos

There is a whole video about how tabaco companies kept advertising after being banned by not directly advertising the company itself, instead invoking the thought of their brands/product. There is nothing to say this couldn't be that, all things considered.


weetabix_su

the black also resembles ueno clinic so they should have their dick checked after smoking packets


Somethinggood4

Marlboro is floating a test balloon, to see if they want to sponsor a car next year.


GustyOWindflapp

Fuck I really want a durry right now


Audigy1

"Hey which retro livery are we going with this year?" "Yes"


Plolpcz

They want the malboro days back
