    “who are using F1 in their branding and who are capitalizing on it,” as well as creators who pretend to somehow be associated with the organization.

    Pretty fair to be honest.

      “SheLovesF1” doesn’t really scream “associated with F1” to me, but obviously F1 disagrees.

        I think she falls under the “using F1 as branding and/or are trying to capitalize on it”. Why else would she have F1 in her name?

          Yeah it feels like a dumb decision to me, but it’s their decision to make. Seems like you’re throwing away free marketing, I don’t see any reasonable consumers thinking the formally associated with them.

            I 100% agree. It seems like a move made by someone who doesn’t really understand how beneficial those people can be.
