I believe in Monaco this year that Ocean's Thirteen is the movie sponsor this year for Red Bull as it was superman last year and star wars the year before...you had to like the storm troopers pit lane crew
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
The F1 teams have been trying for some years to link activities at Monaco with glamorous figures from the film world and other celebrities. This year's Cannes Film Festival is on at the same time as the Grand Prix and it is anticipated that Red Bull Racing will almost certainly be involved with the latest Warner Bros movie "Ocean's 13", which will be a sequel of "Ocean's 11" and "Ocean's 12". The film features George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Ellen Barkin and Al Pacino and is about a casino heist.
This is where I got the info from...but I do remember Ocean's 11 or was it 12 that had the diamond in the nose of the Jaguar racer sat monaco and it crashed and it was lost forever...you know somebody got fired for that one...They tired to give away a X-type to the person who found it...ya right a 250,000 dollar ring for a $40 000 car.

it is too big of a gamble for mclaren to have a one off livery change... same matter even ferrari wont do such a thing
top teams are well funded and they have to keep a name and a history
so both these teams are out of the question
The source didn't mention the GP! But supposedly it should have been for the Spanish GP!
About the dimond in the nose of the Jaguar...I can't remember if that wasn't a publicity stunt! I remember some magazine publishing that the dimond was in fact found but Jag decided to consider it as lost because of the publicity of Oceans 11 or 12....the idea was to give a little suspense to the whole story! But...I'm not sure...
Real Madrid has reached an agreement with a top Formula 1 team to have a car compete in the Spanish football club’s colours next season.
Real president Ramon Calderon would not reveal the identity of the team but said it would carry allegiance to the club at the Spanish Grand Prix and possibly also at other events.
“It’s with an important team – one that fights for victories – and it will be for at least one grand prix at Montmelo,” Calderon was quoted as saying by Marca.
“It’s a beautiful project and the design is already done – the cars will be painted all white with the Real Madrid logo.
“It will be especially sweet to compete in Barcelona with a big Madrid emblem.”
Among Real Madrid’s most avid fans in the F1 paddock is double world champion Fernando Alonso, whose popularity in Spain brought a capacity crowd of 131,000 to this year’s Barcelona race.
