Chandon was already there last year.
Where they? I thought they were only announced last year.

Also noticed JW logos still on the race suit and car so maybe they just became minor sponsors instead?

I thought JW had gone to Force India. Or are they sponsoring both?

Yep, also on the back of Jenson's shoes as well if you look closely in the announcement video.

So guys, I have split off the discussion about the simulator and sustained lateral acceleration. You can find that here.

That too. By the way, here's a photo of the MP4-30 with the Chandon logo

Just a Tip for everyones health, don't look for Prices of Richard Mille Watches if you're prone to Heart Attacks. :D :shock:

Just a quick one to the mods. When the definitive 2016 thread starts, can you please spell the team name with a capital L? From a Scot, I can tell you that lower case after Mc really grinds my gears. :D

It is a very high-end independent brand. It was such a big surprise to me how they were a sponsor of Lotus! The brand announced a watch at SIHH 2016 last month for Airbus Corporate Jets which costs $1,050,000 :mrgreen: Rafael Nadal wears a Richard Mille at tennis games. A marvel of engineering that watch is 8)

They are just a set of wayyy overpriced watches. By comparison, you can buy a true engineering marvel, a cesium 133 wristwatch for around 12k. Anyway, good for McL.

That Cesium wrist watch made by Bathys Hawaii? I know that guy. John is great guy. Richard Hoptroff also makes atomic wrist watches. Watches like Richard Mille are mechanical luxury products. Heck they made a fountain pain for $105,000

Anyone knows at what time will Mclaren have the online launch of the MP4-31 on Sunday?

Thanks in advance.
