![]() | Re: Vodafone To Sponsor McLaren Mercedes F1 Team In DTM the vodafone mercedes team is silver with red vodafone logos, which looks pretty sweet actually, they will still keep some silver in them because of mercedes, West did red and white packets of cigarettes as well as silver and light blue, i think the silver was influenced more by mercedes.... |

![]() | Re: Vodafone To Sponsor McLaren Mercedes F1 Team Great, just what we need, more red and white on the grid. Now we'll have Toyota, Honda, Midland, Ferrari, and McLaren with red and white on their cars. Vodafone apparently thinks Ferrari is on the way out, and also they couldn't have title sponsorship with Ferrari as Marlboro had that right. |
