I would not be very surprised at the general public, but I'd be VERY surprised by the media.

and you thought Johnnie Walker was Harvey Keitel!
Rob Walker's family owned the Walker Whisky brand and it was the money from that that funded Rob Walker's racing activities, the wheel turns and Johnnie Walker is back sponsoring motorsport, though now the brand is no longer in family ownership but part of Diageo -
