    Hey,

    In addition to getting "Airbnb" (whoever they may be!) recently, they've just announced that "Flex-Box" is now also a sponsor.

    I know many here don't give a damn - calling them "moving chicanes" and so on, but personally I'll always give the minnows more than a look.

    I think their car looks really nice in the new paint;

    Cheers,
    Ian

    Stop the press! Someone got sponsorship in F1. Not a small feat these days.

    Airbnb is an internet service for renting your apartment or single rooms to travelers, for which they charge a fee. A nice way for finding holiday accomodation.

    The company also has a valuation of $25bn.

    Not a bad sponsor to get.

    So basically they have no money to pay hotels to stay in or to pay to ship their cars around the world and are promising free advertising in change instead. What next? A McDonald's logo?

    One of the cars just spun out and I noticed the sponsorships. First I'm seeing of the airbnb sponsorship. Pretty cool and the car looks good.

    Hey, that's something even the mighty McLaren can't seem to manage to do so props to them.

    That's welcomed news. Now if only wRONg Dennis would show as much hustle as Manor; to land a sponsor this season. :)

    McD's market cap (if I'm reading Google Finance correctly) is about 92 giga-bucks! I'd be tempted to tattoo golden arches on me for the right amount of sponsorship cash!

    The McD's arches where modeled after tits, something to do with the subconscious of kids associating tits with food. Adults associating tits with anything delicious was a happy accident I suppose.

    Wait. What where we on about?

    Airbnb has been there for a few races now, but Flex-Box and their blue is new.

    I like it a lot, and as Fpiloto noted, they've got Bob Bell involved now, so hopefully can make some headway.

    Get ahead of McSplutter maybe!?......

    Cheers,
    Ian

    You have to give them credit. They are doing a battle each race with one the topmost teams in F1-- being right there with them -- McLaren. :)

    Good for them...I'll be wishing them luck to get the new car on the track. Hopefully this helps.
