Don't know what they would do with a title sponsor that would have its logos everywhere on the car and in the team.
Perhaps the same as teams with tobacco sponsorship used to do when in countries where that was banned...
Favourite driver: Lando Norris
Favourite team: McLaren

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

What problem?

Kingfisher and Whyte & Mackay were both on the car at Abu Dhabi and Bahrain

Presumably the same thing Philip Morris does for the entire world.

They seemed to have changed it slightly.... the Whyte & Mackay writing has changed to "Wendy and Keith" in the top photo.

Another way which has been used in the past is having one name for two things. Again on Force India: Kingfisher is a Beer…and an Airline. Same name, same typeface. In some countries Force India raced with "Drink" written above it, in others "Fly"; it was rarely distinct on TV.

Boy, the change to Mercedes couldn't have been timed better.

The car seems solid so far, best of the rest or maybe a little more, let's hope they can keep this up.

Ted Kravitz says Rob Smedley is definitely coming to Williams, It's just a matter of the 'gardening leave' time that was set by Ferarri.

Also, Martini colors won't show up until Australia.

No, he said that in the next two tests at Bahrain Williams will keep the heritage livery and then before Australia will make a party launch showing the new livery and sponsors.

I hope they switch to an all white car with the Martini colors over it. I don't think they will look as good on the blue that Williams is using now.
Honda!
