Who needs one big sponsor when you can have a ton of them all over the car!

Besides, strategically it makes more sense as well. Having a few big sponsors makes you reliant on them not pulling the plug, while it is less likely that a whole bunch of smaller sponsors is ending their contracts at once.
The opposite problem is that with many small sponsors, you devaluate your space on the car.
Surely that depends entirely how much you are charging for a small space on the car

An article seemingly about Ferrari v Mclaren, but actually is a nice piece on the upgrades and their effectiveness at Monaco.

I've never seen it mentioned on this Forum, but it says one of the biggest impediments in front grip, or the ability to load the front axles for a pointy car, is actually a lack of rear stability and the new Z cut may go some way to helping our Monaco fortunes.

I'm hoping this is referring to his contract.

It doesn't specify for how long, only says "multi-year" extension.

So no, Merc will not be ditching Bottas and Russell to try and steal Lando. That's a relief.

It was never on the cards anyway, just internet fodder.

Thinking back to the Sky testing coverage at Bahrain, they constantly referred to the McLaren as looking smooth and compliant. While Monaco has a lot of slow speed corners which doesn't appear to be a strength for the car on conventional circuits (due to the lack of low-speed downforce), if it is compliant and provides good traction then the car may do better than expected.

I agree. Lando can definitely be champion one day. It's great they managed to hang on to him, and also great that he wants to stay.
