Bud. True
Ferrari were hoping that Budweiser were to take over their Marlboro sponsorship space, but it appears that Williams have pipped them to it.
According to today's Marketing Week the deal starts at Silverstone next week. At $10M a year, it is not title sponsorship, but it is a definite coup for Williams to snare a potential Ferrari backer. Bud. True! |

Irritating adverts, awful dry tasteless American 'beer'. At elast the logo will look quite nice on teh side of the car.

Actually McDonald's and Ferrari don't exactly go well together image-wise...so maybe not them...come to think of it for the same reason Ferrari and Bud don't exactly fit either

Why....Bud's been in racing for years and years!!! Is everyone really worried about what the Williams is gonna look like who cares? This could be a really good move for Williams. Thats alot of money!!! I say way to go. Thats a great move.

Sounds like a good idea to get away from tobaco sponsorship..... but BUD!!! I agree unless BUD have rebranded the logo could clash.
Ive alway thought French Connection UK would be a good one, that way you could put FCUK U!!! on your rear wing, or back to front on your nose cone so the chap in front can read it in his mirrors

I wonder how BMW feel about this since they have say on the Williams livery. Hence the cars are always Blue and white.
Bud red would clash with theyre corprate identity. |

I cant beleive you guys are arguing over how nice looking or how bad looking the Williams is gonna be. Who worries about a race car clashing? As long as it still goes fast and I'm sure it will who cares. I'm sure the "bud red" wont disturb the aerodynamics of the car!

I don't like the American bud I think it should go back into the horse :-))).
Anyway, I used to work for a motorsports marketing company and we nearly put Coke on the Ferrari in 2001. Coke backed out and then we put them on Nordic. After that there was a management change and Coke is just not interested any more in European single seater racing. So I would be surprised if I saw them on any car. |

Maybe KRAFT will sponsor Ferrari. It makes sense to me. Marlboro and KRAFT are owned by the same parent company.
"Ferrari. It's the cheesiest!" |

As billaboy said who cares? If it makes good business sense and they make more money I am sure they will get around the colors. Speed is way more important that having a unique color scheme.
As for beer, Bud is not beer. Its the stuff that we do a lot after drinking beer. Guinness aka. mothers milk, from a tap, is like Manna from heaven. The best American beer IMO is Sam Adams. Last edited by neilap; 3 Jul 2003 at 14:53. |

Remember Williams with Winfield livery? Bud won't be worse
What beer do you call good enough to be on Williams livery? Guiness might be Jordan sponsor... |
