Perhaps a rather special livery for Monaco?

Oh wow, that would be very special. They usually release merch with the special livery too- I grabbed some of the Gulf merch specials after Monaco a couple of years back!

This really would be marvellous!

"...things came alive, the conditions cooled down, the wind calmed down and both of these things, I think, played into our hands a little bit more.”

Norris said there were specific points on the circuit where the MCL38 performed better than they predicted.

“The places we expected to struggle a lot more, we didn’t struggle as much in. These longer corners, like turn one, have always been a big weakness for us, and part of turn one was probably better than we were expecting. The second part was probably as we were expecting.

“So it’s just that we’re still learning about the car. It’s as simple as that."
He also mentions the tarmac treatment.

It's ridiculous how oversized the cars are currently.

Wow, that's pretty.

Still get the feeling that Piasrtri and his lack of race pace puts him under pressure from Alonso and the Mercs on raceday imo.

In the short term yes, but this kid will only get better. He may also become an absolute animal if F1 ever employs a proper tyre manufacturer.

Also Lando driving to a very high standard on his good days- incredibly tough measuring stick.

Piastri stacking up well vs Ricciardo currently although we know Dan wasnt ever at his best at McL.

Excited to see how the upgrades go, albeit a tricky track to really understand them in full.

Would be HUGE if we can land a RB or Ferrari like title sponsor, but where is the space on the car?

The orange logo fits the livery though unlike Ferrari-HP

With the cost cap I feel the need for massive sponsors is no longer as relevant. Zak is doing a great job as is and he has plenty of sponsors. I doubt the cash is an issue.

But sure - better financial stability/profitability for the team is never a bad thing.

Drivers and 3 key personnel members are outside of budget cap, and there's also profitability to look at. Sponsorships always make a lot of sense.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Zak avoids big and title sponsors because... if they leave, it is difficult for the team to make up for financial losses and find an equivalent replacement for them.
