Yet, but at the same time I am aware that it becomes as much about being able to market a product, aka yourself, successfully in order to move up in the ranks. Doing sponsorship deals, promotions, advertisement, etc. It becomes much more about business than it is about the driving itself. Now, I don't know about you, but personally, I don't enjoy business to the extent that some others do. I find it a necessity that I'm willing to put up with in order to gain what I want, but when it comes down to it, I don't "enjoy" it, like I do driving a car.
I'm pretty sure hIGGI is sponsored - he can confirm.
That would explain the stickers.
You're right about the sponsored thing - at a certain point, you do not have a say about your personal style.
Money talks.

Side note, "style" is a highly subjective topic.
It's very easy to apply YOUR personal style opinions on others.
Keep in mind that hIGGI is in the Czech Republic.
Unless you have extensive experience with "style" in CZ, I don't think you're qualified to label what's cool or what's not cool...
For all we know, the "kids" in CZ think the stickers are cool?
