That'll compensate a little, but this is hardly a title sponsor, and as of currently McLaren is in dire need for one of those, especially since they wont get the usual sum of prize money and is not a historic team.

They need much more sponsorship before ending as a small private team at the back of the grid!

If I was Ron I would be putting big pressure on Honda to get them a Jap sponsor, since it's Honda which is causing this crisis, it's crazy Honda hasn't already done this with their unmatchable contacts in Japan. .......Toyota pulled in Panasonic, Denso and more so why can't Honda with the clout they have with suppliers... If I was Ron I'd be on the blower every day to Honda's CEO saying get us out of this hole, as you got us into it!!!!

I think they tried to bring in Sony but failed so far.

LOL, another booze sponsor :)
Now what if Vandoorne could bring in Ab Inbev sponsorship in the form of Jupiler or Stella ;)
But why is there a Merc vid with this article?
