Who will step out of the economic shadows to sponsor Brawn F1?

[ivanalesi]

It's called depression, when teen girls got their hearts broken, they think there's no more reason to live and they will die. The same happens with business people from time to time, the result is that the economy goes down and when they see the pretty boy, the man of their dreams - the economy goes up

Btw, I think Williams had links with Arthur Andersen in the 90's and all of their employees now work for the other agencies
Actually, Brawn should be acting fast, because they've got their budget ready for this season and they will be at least front runners, if not championship contenders, so they can catch an awesome deal like - we provide you space on the car this year for free and you sign up with us for 3 more years and start paying up from next year! May be they are waiting to win at Melbourne and then act...

In all my years working in the financial and economic areas, I never heard of such weird interpretation of an economic scenario... or maybe I missed something prior to my post... or hell, what my post has to do with it ?????

I don't think a lack of blue is going to be a problem?

Well you're right but I was thinking like the Prost's of the early 00's with just blue

It's a bit cynic :P I was talking about Petrobras being depressed and scared, so they pulled out of F1.

[Oldtony]

What happened to the Pepsico rumour.
And wouldn't that add spice to the Red Bull protest over diffusers.

By the way with FIA quoting them as a "new entry" thus cutting them off from the Eu22 million that Honda was due from last year they had better come up with some big money fairly fast. I guess that's another cheque that Bernie can refuse to write. I hope for everyones sake FOM/CVC has that money owed to the teams in a secure place (if such a thing exists these days) or the whole of F1 could collapse in a sea of debt and litigation.

Brawn GP is pleased to confirm its first new commercial partnership of the 2009 Formula One season with the announcement of an agreement with British clothing manufacturer Henri Lloyd as Official Supplier of Clothing and Footwear Technology.

In addition to providing Brawn GP’s team and travel clothing plus the team’s official merchandise range, the Henri Lloyd brand will appear on the BGP 001 car throughout the 2009 Formula One season.

Also to be sponsored by Virgin.

I feel a merge coming on.

Oh my, here we go again.

I would think even in the current climate, with the amount of exposure the Brawn squad is getting, big deals must be sat on a many a blue chip desk waiting to be signed.

If the car produces in Melbourne I would imagine there won't be enough sticker space on the car !

With Richard Branson expressing an interest for the future, this could be a good way to test the water rather than buying outright?

Brawn Virgin GP ?

Sorry to quote myself, But my glass ball is working wonders at the moment

[adstubbs]

Given all the discussion about the Double Decker diffuser, the most obvious title sponsor is surely Cadbury's. Pity they aren't running KERS, otherwise you could also have Cadbury's Boost.

[Marbot]

Nelson Piquet was going to have the 'Picnic' chocolate bar logo plastered all over his car,seeing as how he spends so much time on the grass.

[429CJ]

But it would be great if...

Just imagine, powder blue car with orange stripes and oil company logos.

One could dream

[Cougar]

Could Branson be our next Bernie?

[Tourer]

Media conference just held in Melbourne.

Virgin confirmed as major Brawn sponsor.

Good news for Button.

Deloitte is run by people smart enough to not sponsor Formula One.

There's something about Richard Branson being involved with F1 that I don't like, although that could just be because he's been ripping me off for a dodgy broadband service for a few months. That said, it's good for Brawn that they've been able to attract a major sponsor - it's not exactly a good time for a business to be doing frivolous things like writing cheques for F1 teams.

[Burnsie]

I see the red Virgin logos are now on the Brawn cars. Pity, I liked the look of the cars pre-stickers; but money talks! Great news for Ross and co.

[chillibowl]

if im not mistaken no logos on the race overalls or hats yet.

i wonder how many phone calls the team will get tonight from potential sponsors.

[Marbot]

This is interesting!
