That would basically be their 2015-16 dark grey/rocket red livery. Which I liked a lot!

Didn't Ron try a few years back to make a huge deal over the coke bottle design of the rear end

Not to mention their ‘Size ZERO’ rear end philosophy!

I really hope something big comes out of it, these companies normally don't sign these rather small deals, so there might be something more to it.

Good chance the Coca Cola sponsoring for the American GP’s is primarily to have some big customers over for a very special jet set threatment. Expect some big retail owners with McLaren badges in the paddock this weekend.

I think there's a verbal agreement for next year, maybe with Monster, based on performance of the car.

Unlikely to be Monster given their links to Hamilton who has his own personal flavour of Monster along with Valentino Rossi. Rockstar perhaps?

Personally I think a Coca Cola/McLaren tie-up could be excellent for both parties; both have the history, pedigree, brand awareness and broad demographic that most of their rivals don’t. Coca Cola can also tailor their advertising to whichever of their 500 brands they want to advertise on a given weekend like the Vodafone/Verizon or Lucozade/Maximuscle strategy that McLaren sponsors ran in years previously.

I think Ron has just chucked up in his mouth at the sight of so much colour on a McLaren

As far as I know Coca-Cola only has a small share in Monster.

Coca Cola is the major shareholder of Monster.

Extreme might be slightly too harsh it's a high calorie beverage it's not actually particularly bad for you unlike say vodka
