Very interesting indeed! Low nose car under the veil, I'm tempted to say McLaren. But McLaren has had a long relationship with Akzo Nobel.

For those who don't know, Julia Wurz was the press officer for Benetton and Alex Wurz tried to start an F1 team that was funded by SuperFund. So this is I guess a fictionalized account of that with her as the heroine. Has anyone read it? Is DuPont supposed to be Flavio?SuperEgo by Julia Wurz
Price: $0.99 USD. 113040 words. Published on March 12, 2013. Fiction.
Stylish, successful, and king of the soundbite, Vincent Dupont is Formula 1’s team boss extraordinaire. For Kate Ellison, landing the job as press officer for a top F1 team is career gold. But in a world of colossal egos, Machiavellian politics, and a well-informed and omnipresent media, is Vincent's cold-blooded approach her only recourse?

Alexander Wurz (born 15 February 1974 in Waidhofen an der Thaya, Lower Austria) is an Austrian racing driver, driver training expert and businessman. He competed in Formula One from 1997 until 2007, and is also a two-time winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Teams : Benetton, McLaren, Williams
Well would you look at that.
Okay so the people involved with this joke/potentially real team is an ex-F1 Driver/businessman, his wife and her agency. It is also to be noted that Wurz in the past has been linked to trying to save F1 teams such as HRT (which was denied). Also if a US based team is started, he might be one of the people working in it which has been rumored before.
The likelihood of this being true would normally be 25% however tomorrow is April fools days so it drops down to 10% real and 90% fake.
Good day gentleman.
