Brawn gets a partner

Good news for Brawn! I wonder if the livery will appear for practice tomorrow? Hopefully this will lead to more sponsors and make the team financially viable.

Good news!

And I suspect they will be stickered, it takes a matter of minutes to cut, and the same to apply.

I wonder how impressed Henri Lloyd are at being immediately involved in a protest. Anybody care to hazard a guess?

They are probably loving it - pictures and coverage of the Brawn team are going to be everywhere as it is but if the protests and subsequent appeals drag on and on, it can only mean further global exposure for them.

Too bad they'll end up looking like chavs!

No they won't.

They'll all be dressed like round the world yachtsmen in their offshore sailing clobber. I bet they'll be well chuffed with that when they're in Dubai.

As an aside, my OH's boyfriend works for a big sailing magazine and often wears his Henri Lloyd snug jacket and often gets refused entry to pubs because of it, he is as far removed from a chav as you can get

Perhaps. Do you really think that the hurried announcement of a monumental budget cap for 2010 was all part of the deal to get Virgin on board to support Brawn? Bernie is certainly not beyond playing that sort of game!

So a "Virgin" win for Brawn in Melbourne will be quite ironic then, Dickie will love that marketing opportunity.

[hornetrider]

I wonder if they're a major title sponsor - Virgin Brawn or somesuch and the livery will be red going forward?

[german tony]

Henri Lloyd is chav?

I have been outside Britain way too long.

So not only did he do all his own stunts in the silent film era but he designed clothes as well? That's more than Charlie Chaplin ever did.
