    This is going to set some fire in F1 for sure. Ferrari isn't going to like this at all. I wonder who will sponser them from 2007 then...

    Yes (not in name but their logos were always together) and Yes (because tobacco sponsorship is illegal)

    I thought they were going to do like before, put the logo but not the name. Oh well.

    I wonder if McLarens will be red as well. It will be funny how the tiffosi will react.

    I think McLaren will keep their colours silver and black since their engine supplier is Mercedes and silver and black is Mercedes' racing colours

    We'll see who's throwing the most MONEY in the pot.
    Vodafone are red. All the teams they support round the world play in red IIRC

    Exactly. Ferrari will probably tell Bernie that McLaren is infringing on their copyright or some bullshit.

    this is how pure speculation on the future colour of another car is used to say something nasty about Ferrari..... Williams had a red car at the end of the nineties too...

    Interesting to look back and notice that McLaren's team was slightly more red and slightly less black ast year...

    I wonder if they'll redecorate the factory.
    Thanks for all the fish

    I'm hoping McLaren goes redish. It was a pain to differentiate them from the saubers and minardis, specially when there was a crash at the first corner.

    If Williams goes dark blue it would be even worse...
