I've heard Anglo-Dutch company Corus may sponsor Spyker. If anyone remember that fantastic "better than Prost" driver 'Narain Karthikayan', he is sponsored by TATA. Apparantly they may be buying Corus, so they already have a pedigree in F1.

I hope Spyker will do well. Although they are Dutch, I think they have thought about the core Jordan fans and I hope they really won't decide to sell up and lie to us like Schneider did. It's nice by putting the British flag with the Dutch one, they also reference the teams British base, something apparantly Schneider and the Russian investors wern't happy about (which shows he had no love for his project as he sold up, or a brain to move it to Russia!)

Good point about the flags Moonraker. Like you allude to, they seem to be thinking about the British core of the team. A lot of Jordan personnel are still at the team and it would be plain daft to alienate or ignore that knowledge base and level of experience. Since Minardi disappeared into a Red Bull-shaped black (blue?) hole I haven't had an underdog to support that captured the imagination. Spyker could well fill that gap!

They do keep changing around. But the changes are not that hard to make.... :wink:

But they indeed have to stick at one livery once, because every race their livery has been different.

They're probably going to change it again if their Ebay search for sponsors will produce results, so by any chance, this isn't final... ;-)

Maybe they're doing this to check if carpainters are paying attention... :)

Indeed it's not that hard, but I don't think it's funny to change so often.

I want to make a modelcar as well and I'm glad it's not painted yet....
