on the cheap or either bringing in money/sponsors.
this may be neither here nor there, but i wonder how effective Seb would be at bringing in sponsors? he does not seem to embrace the social media/self promotion aspect of the job nor has he really had a need to as RB and Ferrari have their own systems/advertising strategies.
even Kimi, by comparison, has taken to social media and brings his own personal sponsors with him...i think that Singha beer is his personal sponsor and there have been a few others over the years.
im sure Seb has done his fair share of commercials but all at the behest of his team i would think (he may do much more for the German market which i would never see though), but could his lack of social media use/lack of personal promotion be hurting him?
