Why would it change after they've announced it as the RB1?

I could be eating my words very soon.

I'm hoping they realise its a retarded move from a PR perspective.

Why are Merc doing a livery launch and a car launch separate? Whats the point? And F1 talks about cost saving....

Doesn't matter how small either is, still not as cheap as doing 1

:arrow: Alonso's promotional drive in F60
Ferrari's 2010 car will be launched on January 28, but Fernando Alonso has already driven a 2009 car with the team's new Santander-sponsored livery for filming purposes. He drove the car at the Paul Ricard circuit in France but did not drive at race speed. The car featured white front and rear wings with prominent Santander sponsorship.
any pics/videos available pls?

It's all about the sponsors. They pay a lot of money to have their names on the cars, so if it means doubling up it will sure as hell keep them happy.
