I just think they need to drop their bitterness. This situation is out of everyone's control, so it's no good trying to make snide remarks about a sport they used to be involved in

But such narcissistic people don't see that. Everything is everyone else's fault. Classic Walter Mitty.

I hear they are going to release a statement saying that they will be back by popular demand as Marko's comments has put what they have said in the past in perspective
Read all about it here |

Just when you thought Williams had enough problems:

I read the tweet I feel it implies that this was potential new sponsorship for Williams by Rich Energy??? Then again, who knows what the purpose of their tweets are other than to poke people in the eye. But as someone pointed out in the Williams thread, it also shows Rexona on the car (A sponsor that Williams lost start of this year). So this is clearly an old image (2019 or so). Maybe when Williams was actually courting Rich Energy before Rich Energy blessed Haas with their sponsorship? Richard |

Right (as i mention above it was start of year). I now question if the image is real or not based upon the timeline below...
2018 October - Haas and Rich Energy announce partnership 2018 November - End of 2018 F1 season 2019 February - Williams and Rokit announce partnership 2020 January - Williams looses Rexona So Williams would have not been chasing Rich Energy AFTER announcement of the Haas deal in October 2018. If that image is a mockup for Rich Energy pre-October 2018, would they have settling on 2019 livery at that time? Before the end of 2018 season? I doubt it, but I guess that is a possibility. It can't be 2020 potential livery as it has Rexona shown who Williams lost many months ago. This is likely a pure fake image by Rich Energy? Richard |

I don’t know what the companies motives are anyway. They’ve not exactly cornered the world market on energy drinks, in fact they’ve scarcely had a look in. I’m sure a lot of people who don’t follow racing would be like ‘Rich who?’

If they wanted to take on Red Bull, they’ve failed miserably. Red Bull have done it the right way, not slagged off anyone they’ve associated themselves with and have built up a good empire separate from the drinks company. Their position is safe from chancers like Rich Energy

Red Bull were very selective who they slag off. The engine supplier with whom they won 4 championships!

The new site says "You can buy Rich Energy from a rapidly increasing number of retailers and right here on our website you can order a satisfying case of 24 cans delivered straight to you." While you can buy direct, they don't list who it's rapidly increasing number of retailers are. The prior site did provide some level of "where to buy". That seems gone on the new one. You have to jump through hoops to buy it here in the US. You can find it listed on sites like Amazon and Wal-Mart, but behind the scenes it is being distributed here in the US by companies that specialize in overstock, salvaged or discontinued items. I wonder if they bought a bunch of pre-logo change stock and are selling it in the US? Images on both sites I mention above show the old logo. How they remain in business is beyond me. Low overhead as they don't actually do anything? Richard |

I don’t think they have any idea how to run a company, even online. It seems all they care about is good PR for themselves. Is it any surprise they haven’t listed which retailers they are in? Do any retailers want to be associated with them?
It seems they are reduced to having to sell their products online to get anywhere. Fair play if you want to try marketing your own energy drink, but it’s hardly like there’s a shortage of those around at this time. And having a holier that thou attitude really doesn’t help matters either. Especially if you don’t produce the results |

"Premium product" sold via "bargain bin" distributors. Next step is the "As seen on TV" section in your favorite big store. Richard |

Either way the product hasn't exactly set the world alight. No wonder it's easier to buy online than in shops

If I did see cans of this for sale in a shop I’d probably snap a photo, but having seen their performance and behaviour I don’t think I’d want to put their drink anywhere near my mouth.

Ann Bradshaw @AnnieBWansford · May 31 Disgraceful that a sponsor who were a shambles with Haas are using this now to make such suggestions about a great team. Please don’t give them any publicity Quote Tweet Rich Energy HQ @rich_energy · May 31 The proposed Rich Energy Williams Racing car at @WilliamsRacing HQ. A great team that with the right management and investment can get back on the podium in @F1 #RichEnergy #British #EnergyDrink #WilliamsF1 #F1 #Motorsport #History #WilliamsRacing |
