She was a supermodel.
Finally, everyone knows that Red Bull is a joke and Max Verstappen is overrated.

Turned down the chance to meet Vettel at Silverstone in 2007. He was a test driver at the time and I didn't think it was worth queuing!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Why not?
Force India and Brawn GP neither had any Mercedes branding on their cars. I think that the Mercedes branding on the McLaren is a contractual thing, they were major shareholders in the past.

Men’s Magazine Esquire to Appear on FW36 in Unique Partnership

In a media first for Esquire, the UK’s most stylish and sophisticated men’s magazine brand published by Hearst Magazines UK has partnered with WILLIAMS MARTINI RACING in a unique campaign that will see the British male lifestyle title appear on the team’s Formula One racing car.

The one year ground-breaking partnership comes at the start of an exciting new chapter in the history of Williams, with Esquire handing over its iconic logo to add an element of sartorial style to the brand new Williams Mercedes FW36 car. Throughout the entire Formula One season the Esquire brand will be featured on the rear wing endplate of both Williams’ cars.

The team’s hugely anticipated new car livery was unveiled yesterday in London at Williams’ 2014 official team launch.

Additional partnership activity will include the creation of curated content supplemented across Esquire’s multiple platforms, including print, tablet (Esquire Weekly), online (http://www.esquire.co.uk) and via social media including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The May issue of Esquire (on sale 3 April) will dedicate a double page spread to the technical excellence and design elegance of the new Williams car. In addition, over the season there will be in-depth diaries from both team drivers, Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas, following their progress over the 19 Grand Prix races which kicks off in Australia on 16 March, and includes races in the UK, Monaco, Brazil, China, Russia and the US.

To underline Hearst Magazines UK’s support for the campaign, promotional activity and bespoke editorial content will also run across selected print and digital properties as well as dedicated social media platforms.

Esquire Editor Alex Bilmes says, “Esquire has always championed British brands that contribute to and inspire our rich cultural landscape, which is why we’re delighted to partner with Williams, an iconic brand that has produced some of motor racing’s greatest ever drivers.”

Hearst Magazines UK Group Publishing Director Ella Dolphin says, “This unique partnership with Williams enables us to bring the Esquire brand to life for millions of readers, digital followers and consumers across the globe. The campaign demonstrates the collaborative approach we favour when working with our clients and we’re proud to be part of Williams’ team, to not only celebrate a new chapter in its racing history but also in the development and expansion of the Esquire brand.”

Sir Frank Williams, Founder and Team Principal of Williams, added, “Esquire is a premium brand with global reach and a strong history of excellence. This new partnership is very exciting for Williams as it will give us the opportunity to showcase our story in some of the world’s leading publications and work with Hearst Magazines UK’s respective editorial teams on exciting content for readers. For Hearst UK, Formula One is an ideal global marketing platform and we are looking forward to helping the Esquire brand reach new audiences this season.”

"Lucked into"? Jumped what queue?

Also, I guess you can update the thread title now - "Williams Martini Racing"? Or do we go by FIA entry names?
