These things often stay in the background, thanks to efforts by the series to maintain an opulent aura. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British startup Rich Energy.Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One Team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank, but that didn't matter. Storey equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers and publicly mocked entities winning legal disputes against him. In the six months between Storey's first race as a Formula One sponsor and his very public exit, he became the most visible part of the world's most visible racing series, easily tearing down its red-carpet facades with a loud mouth and an active Twitter account. Haas team boss Guenther Steiner described the Rich Energy news cycle, as: "I'm getting sick of answering these stupid fucking questions on a race weekend. I've never seen any fucking thing like this." This book is the fascinating, bizarre, and complete story.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Alanis King, Elizabeth BlackstockGenre: Travel & TransportItem Weight: 178gTopic: Social Sciences, Sports & Hobbies, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
