Watching the Netflix series (Formula 1: Drive to Survive), the drama between the racers and the corporate teams that sponsor them do add that personal connection, that keeps all sports going. I am amused to learn from it that Red Bull is somehow allowed to sponsor multiple racing teams (Red Bull Racing and AlphaTauri).

Minor correction, not sponsor, own. Interestingly the tobacco company British American owned a team until 2005 (the team is now the Mercedes team).
