Interesting development, I wonder if it will impact McLaren's deal with Moet & Chandon announced last year after their Tag Heur's departure. I guess ultimately it's whatever is deemed more "visible" from an ROI standpoint.

Motorweek -Moet et Chandon appears poised to replace Mumm for Formula One celebrations

Mumm is no longer the word when it comes to the podium champagne sponsor in Formula One.

Owner Pernod Ricard is believed to pay more than $5 million per year for the privilege of Mumm champagne being sprayed on the podiums of the world, but the deal has been deemed "insufficient" by F1 management, according to thedrinksbusiness.com.

"In our mission to continually innovate, excite and push the boundaries, we have chosen to explore a new opportunity -- Formula E, electric motor racing -- as it is truly groundbreaking, has a strong fit with our brand values and is a natural evolution in motor racing," Ricard said.

It is believed Moet et Chandon will be F1's new champagne supplier.

It could be good for McLaern if they have that deal signed because moet et Chandon will be more visible at the circuits and will be on their car.

Interesting financial news today that I thought to share since I belive it's the reason PDVSA was unwilling to pony up for Maldonado's pay seat. It turns out that because of the low cost of crude, it's cheaper for Venezuela to import and mix with their heavier grade than to refine their own. PDVSA is specifically mentioned.

I wonder if McLaren had such a lavish party for Sensodyne Toothpaste.

McLaren continues to hemorrhage sponsors. I guess next year they'll replace ExxonMobil with Jaffa Cakes as a new sponsor and call it a wash.

GPUpdate – Red Bull has announced ExxonMobil as its new fuel, lubricant and motor oil partner for the 2017 season, replacing Total, which supplied the team over the past eight campaigns.

As Red Bull's dedicated partner, ExxonMobil "will deliver engineering support to develop next-generation lubricants designed to improve race car engine and gearbox performance".

Mobil 1 and Esso logos will also feature on Red Bull's cars, driver overalls and helmets.

"Mobil 1 and Red Bull Racing are two global brands that share a passion for racing, performance and innovation," said Red Bull team boss Christian Horner, after confirmation of the deal.

"Mobil 1 has been an iconic brand in Formula 1 for more than 30 years and our new partnership provides us with a unique opportunity to tap into ExxonMobil's world class expertise."

Mobil 1 has been involved in Formula 1 for 38 years, providing fuel and lubricants to over 100 Grand Prix-winning cars, and most recently supplied McLaren from 1995 to 2016.

Horner also paid tribute to Red Bull's outgoing fuel partner for its efforts.

"I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the technical team at Total, who have made a valuable contribution to our success in Formula 1 during our partnership," he said.

Red Bull will continue to use TAG Heuer-badged Renault engines in 2017.
