Alex Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 apparently they have lost over £15 million in sposorship by giving up the space. but the fact that the project is sponsered by google (using google earth) and the reaction they will get, means that its worth a lot more. not to mention how much bridgestone must have paid to have the only name on the car (front nose cone). shrewd move id say. shame it wont win them any races.... my moneys on schrome and orange as the winning colours this year.... Actually I'd say the Bridgestone one was one they couldn't get out of due to them supplying the whole F1 field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Actually I'd say the Bridgestone one was one they couldn't get out of due to them supplying the whole F1 field. im guessing that they have year long contracts and that once the year ends, they don't have to renew? that way they have decided to not renew any except the bridgestone one for the nose cone? i may be wrong though....

They have to get tyres from somewhere!! The FIA signed the deal with Bridgestone and all the team have to abide by that agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Dublin Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I thought there was a rule about paint schemes being symetrical. The FIA wouldn't let one of the teams run Lucky Strike and 555 on opposite sides of the car a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
