Kaciaj 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 The world's most famous soft-drink company, Coca-Cola, is planning to drive onto the F1 grid. The British 'Daily Telegraph' newspaper even claimed that Coke, like fizzy rival Red Bull, could buy a grand prix team -- but the more likely option is a title sponsorship. F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone 'confirmed' that Coca-Cola had shown some interest in the sport, the newspaper wrote. "F1 has become an exceptional shop window for everybody," the 74-year-old said. The report doubted that Coca-Cola had yet held talks with any team, but an executive 'with links' to the company revealed: "The growing popularity of F1 in several key Asian markets is something that is of interest." Probably at the front of the queue for Coca-Cola's business is Williams, the front line Grove based team that is determined to recover from the recent loss of works BMW power and title sponsor HP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Williams get Coca-Cola as a major sponsor, they are a great team who deserve to be competitive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Another good thing - if you open a 2litre bottle of coke, hold it on its side (with your thumb in the end so it doesnt pour out), then just drop it on its side from a height of about 1.5 metres. Once it hits the ground, it will then shoot into the sky like a rocket - its absolutely hilarious and you'll be surprised how far it goes!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2005 Coke is only good for mixing with spirits! I must also state that Coca-cola is a most excellent toilet cleaner! Seriously! Anyway I am not so keen on another soft drink's company entering F1! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No takeover!! I agree, but i think Coke just wants to be Williams main sponsor, i dont think they are interested in buying a F1 team at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
