Mercedes and AMD Announce Multi-Year Partnership

Text, yes. Title, no.

I know it's just a nuisance, but it's so important in proper journalism to take care of stuff like that. And I though TPU had higher ambitions.
Imagine a situation where Mercedes leaves F1 and the article title could say:
"Mercedes ceases operation after 2021" :)

Also, since this text is copied, a source is mandatory (one of the links above would do). Otherwise the label should say "plagiarism", not "press release". :)
Seems like it’s pretty word for to to me no? IncludIng the title, let it go man you’re literally trying to split hairs here for the sake of drama...:rolleyes:
 
Which is exactly what I said and opposite to some ecstatic comments like "given Mercs have massive presence outside of F1 means more HPC sales to other divisions of this company".

I'm pretty sure "free hardware" is not the only payment involved - especially for such a good logo location on the car. We're talking about few million GBP.
It's just an F1 team in the end. They don't buy that much IT stuff. :)

They don't buy much IT stuff but it takes up a huge portion of their budget, if AMD is handling the simulators and licensing for them that alone is a few million GBP right there, then there's there the CAD side of things, you're belittling F1 just a bit.
