Yes, time permitting we will be doing merch!

We are busy on Spares at the mo and will get round to it.

Our stuff will be quality and not cheap tat which the items fade or the branding flakes.

Spares should definitely be the priority, will keep an eye out for the merch when details released. Thanks for the hard work sourcing this stuff for SM!

Gentlemen let me warn you that there is an unwritten rule on the internet that two men are not allowed to share one umbrella if the weather is inclement, therefore each man should have his own. (That's the hard sell done!)

I can't believe that you are actually suggesting that a gentleman would ever unfurl his umbrella, unless a lady needed, ahem, covering.

A decent umbrella these days will cost you £50 upwards. They are a perfect case of "you get what you pay for".

The Mercedes one I got costs £90 (although they gave it to me for free) but I reckon it would still hold it's own in a Hurricane!

People who buy a cheap £10 brolly from Sports Direct get everything they ask for!

Can't agree we have a £15 brolly and had it for years....we all use it...gets thrown about and it's still going. Have a BMW Williams one which was £20 and that's still going well and hot that when they first got into F1.

You've just proved my point. £15 years ago, is probably the equivalent of £50 today.

Williams first got into F1 in donkeys years ago!
