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.

Per wiki:

Monster Beverage Corporation is an American beverage company that manufactures energy drinks including Monster Energy, Relentless and Burn. The Coca-Cola Company owns 19.4%.

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!

[HustleRussell]

Also there are basically no sponsors?

They are not sponsoring him! They are the team he is riding for. I have said this before - Rich Energy is now the Rich OMG Racing Team. They clearly either own the product, or they have the rights to make, or at least distribute it. They have a team in BSB. They also have a road racing team. As the TT is cancelled (again) this year, they have entered Dakar with James Hillier.
