The Ferrari F2004 is probably the greatest Ferrari racecar of ALL-TIME. And one of the best & most SUCCESSFUL racecar in Formula 1!0

Alongside
The McLaren MP4/4 by Senna/Prost 馃憤 (15 Wins of 16 Races, 1988) and
the Mercedes F1 Hybrid W07 馃槑 by Rosberg/Hamilton (19 Wins of 21 Races, 2016)

I think that TAG Heuer logo on there is wishful thinking.

Yes, I also think the TAG Heuer logo will remain in the Red Bull Racing car... and if their main sponsor for 2021 is still BWT, the Force-India-Racing-Point-Aston-Martin-powered by Mercedes will probably be pink 馃槈

I dunno. Would you really want a pink Aston Martin? I think that is problematic for Lawrence. Plus the 'pink' colour now has negative connotations (pink Mercedes), I think it will be gone.

I guess it depends on how much money BWT is paying to the team next year, but BTW sponsored cars (also Porsche Supercup, DTM...) are full pink 馃槜

Absolutely, if they are paying a lot of money (which they must be) then does that outweigh the 'discomfort' of having a pink car? Maybe Aston Martin would like to shake off their slightly 'stuffy' English image? I visited the AM factory last year and I asked them if they had any limits to customisation and they said no, they would stitch pink unicorns into the seats if that's what you want!

Also... keeping the car pink will somewhat undermine the 'rebrand' don't you think?

Yes, of course... but I don鈥檛 think Aston Martin is able to pay alone all the budget of the F1 team, so they should find another main sponsor if they want to remove BWT and the pink color

馃榿 They spend too much in James Bond movies and space expeditions... there鈥檚 no more budget to also invest in motorsports 馃槈

Anything else, in the past maybe?
馃榿 Yes, of course, but they belong to older marketing budgets 馃槈

What an amazing video to randomly pop up on my YouTube feed...
For anyone who enjoyed the vintage footage of Monaco that I posted a while back, have a look at this 1966 footage from Spa. Check out the car dangling on the edge at 2:39 in particular! 馃槻
