前言:短短幾週　　雷諾不再"ING"

上個月才看到雷諾發表R29,   車體完全以ING為主

正在慶幸 ING沒有因金融海嘯而退縮提早解約

沒想到  這幾天 就傳出 ING確定年底約到 就不再續約

明年  雷諾 就沒有ING的車殼

背景提要: 19 Jan,2009 新車發表

"金融海嘯肆虐，沒有嚇倒Renault車隊主要贊助商荷蘭ING安泰壽險公司，即使ING將台灣的股份全數賣給了富邦人壽，但選擇持續贊助Renault車隊的ING公司財務結構似乎仍舊紮實。而今年除了ING的橘色獅子外，新的贊助商Total公司也成為Renault的油料供應商，因此在結合了Renault車隊的傳統黃色，ING的白色與橘色以及TOTAL的紅色之後，就成了大家所見R29的正式圖裝了。"

 背景提要: 28 Jan,2009 HP加入贊助行列

HP joins the race with ING Renault F1 Team

背景提要二: 20:19PM  GMT 16 Feb 2009　　金主　撐不下去了

The Dutch-based banking and insurance company, whose backing has provided a significant slice of the former world champions' budget, have announced that they will not be renewing their deal with the French team, and will be pulling out of the sport at the end of the season.

文章還提到去年ING集團贊助運動活動共約8千6百萬,F1就佔去6千5百萬, 佔車隊一半以上的收益.

ING聲明稿原文::

ING to end F1 sponsoring programme after 2009 season
Amsterdam, 16 February 2009 In light of the recently announced cost reduction programme, ING confirmed today not to renew the three year sponsorship (2007-2009) contract with Renault F1 and to end its presence in F1 beyond the 2009 season. ING’s participation in Formula 1 was the company’s first global sponsorship project aimed at delivering revenue and raising the global brand awareness, particularly in ING’s key growth markets. Over the past two years, ING has successfully achieved its objectives for the F1 sponsorship, raising its overall global brand awareness by 16% (March 07 vs November 08). F1 remains a powerful business driver even in a difficult economic climate. Whilst ING has cut the F1 sponsorship costs by 40% in the final year, revenue generating opportunities will be a continuing focus through 2009. ING has enjoyed the relationship with Renault F1 and will continue to work closely with the team during the final year of the partnership.

 隨著ING的聲明稿,Renualt Team Leader Flavio Briatore也只能表示  非常感謝過去美好的合作  最近我們也感受到金融風暴的影響  未來會朝向減低成本的目標邁進

但是我覺得他心裡應該是想說.. XX的　現在這個景氣　　你是要我找誰贊助..

話說贊助起原

唉　其實我覺得ING的贊助　某個程度來說　應該也算是誤會一場

2007-2009年的合約　　當初一定是看準Alonso 05-06連拿兩屆冠軍

沒想到07年第一年贊助　　Alonso就走了

結果Alonso在麥隊的排擠下　08年回到老東家

卻又因為車子調整不好　只能讓我們看到季末偶一為之的燦爛表現

畢竟　ING本業也真的影響很大　　一直以來　Alonso 要去Ferrari的傳聞不斷

誰知道ING繼續贊助後　　Alonso會不會突然又轉隊　　這一切　都太難抓住了

這也難怪ING在重整以後　　決定要退出這個市場

畢竟這是一個很花錢的事業

雖然大家都說要省錢省成本　　　但是在計較那麼0.01秒的市場中

為了會一點　多花一點錢　　似乎大家都覺得很值得

FIA當然也有控管成本計畫　　也希望大家協助

但目前FIA的成本控管計畫究竟為何呢?

FIA　President  Max Mosley是希望每隊每一季花費可以控制在5千萬歐元以內

但光是HONDA 去年就已經花費3億元

大家覺得有可能嗎

總而言之

我最大的心願　就是Alonso 拿冠軍

希望他今年能跑好一點

為自己車隊多跑出幾個贊助商

 加油加油

我現在
