Coca-Cola to enter F1????

Post by Shunter »

Well will we see this happen next year? Will the money go to McLaren? Could this be the new money to the sport as we end up with the Drink Battles as we head into the 2013 and beyond????

I remember they were heavily rumoured to come in with Toyota back in '02. Hope they do, could be a good livery.

Coca-Cola to F1 is a rumour that crops up every few years (first time I remember hearing it was around 1991, when they were supposed to be responding to 7-Up sponsoring Jordan), but there seems to be perhaps a bit more weight to this one. The Coke house colours would be a good fit at McLaren too...

Coke would fit better colourwise and Logowise at Ferrari, I'm not just saying that because I support Ferrari... But logically, Red & White come on :roll: :roll:

Any car in a black Coca Cola Zero livery would be stunning!

I read something a few weeks ago (can't remember where now) that linked Coke to Mercedes, particularly given Hamilton's connections with the USA via his girlfriend, Nicole Shitsinger.

I can't bash her too much--she's from my hometown! That's why she's good looking, don't you know... ;)
