haha i didnt know bout the rumours but i always thought theyd be a great sponsor instead of marlboro

I think that because the tobacco won't be on the cars anymore that other key role sponsors are going to play a big role, Im thinking about tire company's such as Michelin and Bridgestone, their on the car now I know, but what I mean is like big advertisements on the car, big B for bridgestone on the Ferrari for example.

An other interesting idea would to look at the petrol companies which support the F1 teams, you would have more Shell advertisements on a Ferrari, Mobil on a Mc Laren and so on.

F1 always has alot of other options.
Coca Cola was already mentioned, why not, I think that more big companies that are non-tobacco should go in F1, I think that it would be alot more interesting if you would see Coca Cola, Microsoft etc etc..

I can see the Coke logo on the side pods but not on the engine cover. And picturing a huge black and red B in that area just seems tacky. I think Vodafone would be the best option of all their sponsors that they have now, since i think everyone will be looking to see who replaced Marlboro.


as for the others, i think any company that wants their name being mentioned as a team partner to McLaren should hope that the engines keep blowing up. Since a hex like that is bound to generate some monday morning water cooler speculation
