2013 FIA Formula 1 World Championship

not even the last race has finished and here we are!

to start things off, Lotus announced that Coca-Cola will be sponsoring the team via the Burn Energy Drink brand.

for us North Americans who are all thinking "wtf is Burn energy?" here is what it looks like:

I forsee black and red car next year!

Never heard of it.

I assumed it was an American drink as I have never seen it before over here.

lol

I went to the website, and there isn't an American or Canadian site. only GB, DEN, NED, GER, FRA. I think there were a few more, but I only glanced at them.

Nope, never heard of it.

Perhaps some team will snap up Nae Danger?

''An energy drink like nae other''

well maybe thats why they are sponsoring the car! LMAO

Why not just Coca Cola, even if it is Lotus you could sneek some sort of Gold related company on the side, hey presto Gold Leaf replica instead of JPS.

Stupid marketing, and Stupid Coca Cola....

That's exactly why they'd use it as a sponsor, why waste money on advertising the most recognised drink on the planet, when you can promote your new drink??

Mopar you are the king of thread opening!

That's why Red Bull have 'Infiniti' engines via the Renault brand, so they can market something new.

Burn is [Censored] awesome. Way better than any energy I ever had, you guys are missing out

Lidl own brand Apple flavoured energy drink - I don't know how many shifts that stuff has got me through.

Burn helped me do multiple 18+ hour shifts when I was in Afghanistan

i think this thread should be called the 'i haven't heard of that energy drink' thread

lol, ok lets get back on topic then shall we?

IS Perez actually gonna do well in 2013?

i recon he will, webber may start going further down, or turn his luck around and do better.
Hamilton will be main focus first few rounds, see how the switch goes n see if he made a big mistake

no question he already has unless Brawn as kept secret plans for him, in which case Schumacher will demand a 3rd try lol

who? webber or hamilton?

Mentioned in the '12 thread, but Charles Pic has jumped ship from Marussia to Caterham. I hope Kovalainen gets a seat with a car that reflects his pace. Force India? He's too good for Caterham
