Flashermac Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 The eyes of Texas are upon you ... "Things in Formula 1 you couldn't make up, chapter 327. It was discovered on Friday that Mexican flags being sold on McLaren merchandising stands here for fans who wanted to support Sergio Perez had the image of a cannabis plant on them - the result of someone from what McLaren describe as 'a third company sub-contractor of an agent' the team use searching on the internet for a picture of a Mexican flag to use as the basis for the design and choosing one with the plant on it, thinking it was the genuine one. "McLaren, who had no input into the situation, have put out a statement of apology and removed the flags. An interesting aside is that the agency is owned by Prodrive, the motorsport company owned by former F1 team boss and current Aston Martin chairman David Richards." http://www.bbc.co.uk...rmula1/24966489 p.s. Part of the title got lost. Seems I can't correct it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
