More details about McLaren's technical leadership changes are becoming public as it has now become clear that Toro Rosso's highly valued technical director, James Key, is set to join McLaren in the same role.
All i care about on this picture is a Playstation sponsorship.BosF1 wrote: ↑14 Jan 2018, 00:49https://imgur.com/H2qjcbo
Indeed, Telefónica used to be a sponsor back in the Renault days.
Disclaimer: the image above serves purely as evidence for the claim that Telefónica used to be a sponsor in F1. Any other 'assets' that might be seen on the image are purely coincidental.
Kimoa was already announced so it's not that.
anyway, had to share this amazing picture. imagine Formula 1 in the snow o.O"I think the fans want us to go to Papaya Orange for sure. When we did the IndyCar we had an overwhelming amount of 'Please make your F1 car like that'.
"We are waiting on a few sponsor decisions which also can dictate what a car looks like. I wouldn’t rule it out."
Brown says McLaren won't totally rebrand its livery to suit a single commercial partner, as Force India did this year with water sponsor BWT.
After divorcing Honda as its power unit supplier in F1 to switch to Renault engines from 2018, an estimated $80m hole could appear in the McLaren budget
but Brown has downplayed any concerns.
"We have signed some sponsors, but I don't know exactly when we're going to announce them," he added.
a deal between McLaren, Petrobras and Setta Camara will be announced ahead of the 2018 season.
"We could not sell to potential sponsors the story that things will get better next year.
That was one of the reasons why we needed a new engine supplier."
"The car's not going to look the same as last year," Brown said.
"Our whole brand, the visibility of McLaren, is going to go to the next level and it's going to be exciting.
All I see is the Star Trek uniform emblemXero wrote: ↑12 Jan 2018, 20:04Probably not an indication of team colours as such, but McLaren sticking to their black and silver/grey vibes for teamwear at least.

Its just the way it was portrayed in the Twitter post, it looked like a Star Trek teaser photo... plus is a winter off season and we are all in limbo....
https://twitter.com/McLarenF1With preparations for 2018 well underway, we followed the race team to Sandhurst to find out how they’re working with @McLarenApplied to optimise their performance.
Movistar is Telefonica mobile brand. Probably if there is an sponsor from them would be Movistar+ that it is the private tv channel from telefonica and had the deal to broadcast F1 for the next 3 years.Manoah2u wrote: ↑13 Jan 2018, 21:44I'm not so sure about Kimoa.
It offcourse could be announced as such, but i feel like it due to being Alonso's brand, not to be such 'big' assett and as such 'mentionable' in the same breath, even though that sounds a bit harsh.
Petrobras is a big sponsor, Amazon would be too. Kimoa? nah. Yes it's new to the sport, but still.
I also read something about Movistar, but since there's a mention about 2 being new and the third not, which probably be Petrobras,
i'd find it odd if that one would be mentioned too.
Unless it's not Petrobras but Movistar which will be announced soon. Or could be Telefonica?
Wasn't Movistar or Telefonica part of Renault when Alonso was there?
Curious that in the interview is mention the 80 millions of dollars hole but let's keep ingnoring it so some members here don't get upsetManoah2u wrote: ↑14 Jan 2018, 19:29So i guess i probably stand corrected about a full yellow-green Mclaren for 2018 with some reddish accents - well, could still happen though, but from revisiting Zak's comments in various (recent) interviews, i picked out the most important ones;

Also to add to my last comment Kimoa could be like the GURU clothing like the old days at Renault in 2005 and 2006 that their logo it was a white flowerRedragon wrote: ↑17 Jan 2018, 18:40Movistar is Telefonica mobile brand.
