I think they do a fair bit in America?

I meant in F1

I’d say an affiliation with the multiple world champions is better than being more prominent on a mid field car - the hospitality for their directors is probably better too!

I'm guessing its a sponsorship deal with Mercedes to sponsor the helmets only? because Rosberg and MS had it as well.

[CoolHands]

I can’t bare to look at his face, so not looked at any twitter stuff. So did they announce anything or not?

Coca Cola are affiliated with McLaren already aren’t they? They have been for a couple of years at least.

Yes, renewed in 2020.

CocaCola don't need to do much primary sponsorship; it's one of the worlds most recognized brands. They do bits for new brands (e.g. Monster)

Still not a real announcement though. They decided not to enter their own team, and they've 'agreed' a majority stake of an F1 team to become a title sponsor in 2022 of a team who shall not be named.

Yeah right.

Panthera

It'll be the Monaco GP team, and Storey will pay the $200 million fee.

Bacon will also start flying.

Fair point. Touché.

Some pretty blatant Coca Cola sponsoring down the side of this year’s McLaren.

I know this guys a joker, hes potentially trying to latch on to somebody who has potentially put investment into a team. Really hope its not Aston Martin. I actually hope its nobody.

Chances are though, Alfa Romeo to stop sponsoring Sauber?

I hear his "mate with the money" are the mazepins.

It wouldn't be dull...

I'm quite surprised Monster Energy haven't ventured into car sponsorship yet, apart from the helmet sponsorship for Mercedes not seen them on anything else.

Monster is a Coca-Cola brand, from knowing people there they’re slightly more conservative with their sponsorship investments than Red Bull. They’re not about to sink tens of millions into an F1 team.

Monster is owned by Monster Beverage Corporation. Coca Cola's energy drink is Relentless. Though, you are right about Coke being conservative as I can't recall ever seeing Relentless branding in any sport.

Rich Energy were mentioned on the latest 44 Teeth lockdown show. Seems they're sponsoring a TT rider to participate in the Dakar motorcycle race.

With real money or monopoly money?

The Russian flag IMO is more embarrassing for Haas than the Rich Energy saga ever was.

Luckily, Mazepin isn't allowed to race under it!
