So a couple of questions for me.

1. What is the loss of affiliate sponsors related to Holden. It wasn't that long ago that HRT were the kings of these related B2B sponsorships.
2. Without the star drivers how hard is it to draw equivalent sponsorship? One way to look at it is that Holden has had most of the space, but even the smaller sponsorships seem to have been hard to come by.

Pye is very likeable but I fear he's always going to zig when he should have zagged.

You wonder just what results he might have had if he ended up in a 888 car.
