Well world, it has been announced. Gene Haas has been granted an entry into F1 by the FIA, and America will now have to proudly represent itself on a global level. Every race is in another country. Considering the importance of this, it is crucial we show the world what we represent, and choose our sponsors accordingly. Here is my entry:

The National Guard/US Army - Not totally unheard of, but how great would it be to see an ACU F1 car conquering winning races across the globe. It'll be White Ship Diplomacy, but through racing!

So, what sponsors out there should we be pushing to represent America through this international sport? Just think, everyone from Bahrain to Malaysia to Britain to Austin, TX will be exposed to the might of America!

I'm thinking more non-traditional, like Pepsi or Google.

The Air Force sponsorships are cool sometimes, dark blue with the logo.

McDonald's and Coca-Cola are also great options.

Love it. Pepsi, Google, and......

Levis, Microsoft, Coke, Firearm manufacturer, Budweiser, Pickup Trucks (so GMC or RAM), and McDonald's

Merica, Fuck yeah!

Budweiser or Bank of America could be options. Coke would also be great!

I love the idea of a Firearm mfr as the sponsor. Almost every race will be somewhere that people can't even dream of owning their own.

That firearm manufacturer should be Bushmaster.

While I don't hate your choice of manufacturer, I think it should be Colt. (I may be biased as I am from Connecticut)

Ya i think it will be a young american driver like rossi or daly then a more experienced one who has already raced in f1 like heikki or maybe perez im not sure how long perez's contract is with force india

Colt also works. What about Armalite though? They invented the AR-15.

Wouldn't have the same name recognition, I would say Colt is more of a known company.

Peterbilt or MAC trucks or Jeep. Colt. Cummins. Google. The racing suit shouldlook like denim jeans and a plaid shirt with gun holsters.

The car will start every race unfinished and way over budget. It will some how get pole, but then lose every race.

Mountain Dew

Kinja'd!!!

Doritos, Monster, Microsoft, Rockstar, Nike, Hershey's, Bank of America, Caterpillar, Boeing etc. shit bro', there are many corporations in the corporation country who could pay for a few inches of space on an F1 car.

Well, Bernie is a good friend to brands like Jack and Playboy, but I doubt that FiA will accept them, F1 is not DTM.

Kinja'd!!!

Or V8 Supercars for that matter of fact.

Budweiser, since you know it's owned by the Belgians.

I think a Bud livery F1 car would be the perfect answer to all of the Martini love.

Wouldn't look half bad either! Obviously couldn't be a ferrari car, but if it looked this good, I'd be on board.

Is he not under Contract with Caterham?

Heikki, maybe, but why would Sergio leave fantastic car, at least so far, and at worst a middle team for what is almost assuredly going to be a back-marker?

Rossi is currently a reserve drive for Caterham, I don't know how long his contract is.

Im just throwing names out there, it would be stupid for perez to leave force india but who knows how much cash Haas has to throw around for drivers and if the force india will remain in the top part of the grid this season
