"for many, the only chance to ever get a closer look at some iconic machines"

That is very true. Many years ago, when F1 had less coverage than it does these days, I went to a county show where Williams sponsored a corner of the exhibition and had a couple of their F1 cars there. Being able to stand right next to it and see just how low the driver would be lying in the car, being able to look underneath it and see how close it ran to the ground was something you'd never get from TV or even from the stands. These days I expect the cars would be fenced off to stop people nicking the steering wheel etc, but still, seeing these things close up is a great way to get peopel interested in them, and to get them watching TV (which is a necessity for F1 to survive).

These musea are great places for enthusiasts and, for many, the only chance to ever get a closer look at some iconic machines.

According to wiki, they scored 29 points that year…

Visa Cash App RB (lol) sounds just like McLaren then in terms of structure, CEO doing the commercial, the marketing, the communications… Don't get what's so unique about it (other than being a subsidiary of another team even talked about at their launch, but that's another story…)
