funny that...I thought it was there for the theory that if Massa saw a Ferrari in the reflection he'd assume it was Alonso and move over, still I guess the only time a Mclaren will come up behind a Ferrari this year is when it is lapping it, so it won't have a choice in moving or not

regarding that, but slightly off topic so sorry. How does that agreement work? Because Vodafone were on it? Were Vodafone on it to fill a gap but weren't paying or what?

I think that Lucozade on the side of the wing took the Johnnie Walker spot maybe?

I'm on about the rear wind main planes. On launch was Vodafone and always before was Vodafone. But since the season started its Lucazade. So how does that work in terms of the sponsorship agreement Vodafone has?

Sorry I thought you meant the side, I guess as Vodafone is overall sponsor they just filled the gap with their brand until Lucozade stepped in and specifically paid for that place.

That was what i was asking. If in Vodafones sponsorhip deal had they paid for that or were they just branded there until they got somebody to pay for the spot.

silly mistakes and misfortunes ruined both drivers' race. if it was down to the wheel nut on Lewis's car, why didn't they replace after the 1st stop? really curious.
