a multi-year partnership that will see the Huski Chocolate brand represented on the rear wing
Odd deal but seems like a major one.

In terms of associating an F1 car with a chocolate drink, but it might just be me.

Odd is when you buy a newspaper, only to find out it's missing every other page.... This, I'd call bizarre...

What's bizarre about it? Liquid sugar (and things i don't even want to imagine) in form of Energy Drinks is ok but this is not?

I don't see the major difference between Huski, Red Bull, Rich Energy or Coca-Cola. It's just a drink.

The more important question is, will the branding be on the endplate or the rear flaps. That'll give us an idea of the scale of the deal.

Desperate for what, money is money. Racing point is sponsored by fancy tap water. Carlos Sainz is sponsored by non-alcoholic beer. The chocolate drinks company thinks throwing money at McLaren for advertisement will have decent ROI, that's their business. If someone gave you money and product for advertisement real estate, would you decline it just because it's a chocolate drink?

ron would decline it. as he did not want the mclaren brand to become watered down to some 'free for all' canvas but maintain a certain 'elitist' aura around it.

I'm not saying that i agree with Ron, and that time has gone, but i feel this is going the other opposite.
And what Force india does is their business, it doesn't mean Mclaren should do something awkward.

I well remember the time that there was serious speculation about Sony becoming a sponsor and being prominent on the car. Much better imho if that would have been the case. Samsung, Apple, Diesel. stuff like that.

Never heard about the Sony speculation/rumour. How long ago was that?
