well it's using 'leather' as a metaphor isn't it, like a computer 'file' and everything else that's been invented recently and they want to convey what it is in one word. it's great afaic if it undermines the snobby appeal of omg leather in my car, same as 'fur' that nobody can tell if it's real or not any moreJust_a_fan wrote: ↑19 Dec 2019, 01:46Pffft! Vegan leather makes as much sense as vegan sausages or vegan bacon. Leather is the tanned hides of animals. If it isn't an animal then it isn't leather.
and i love how Lewis gets into it and makes insane F1 interact with the real world, has the sensitivity and vision and calls the Daimler CEO to talk about it, and i bet Daimler are loving him making their F1 team actually relevant
. So by now Lewis has probably spoken to Ola and pointed out how everybody else has new EV's next year too, so he needs a way of making the Mercedes stand out, and the opportunity is to (a) copy Elon and (b) use the F1 team to promote new age ethical leather in his new green cars
