Renault gets new Vodka sponsor
Frankly, I can’t believe the other F1B posters passed on this one. Come on, this is just begging for your best Kimi Raikkonen or FakePetrov joke possible.
The team formerly piggy-backing on the Raikkonen name has signed a new sponsor, Russian Flagman brand Vodka, to a four race deal starting this weekend in Japan*. And while the Kimister is know to hug a few dolphins after a bender of vodka, it looks like the Russian Vitaly Petrov is just one bottle closer to keeping his ride. Apparently, “consistent point scorer” is code for “can bring in more money to the team.” Note: I didn’t say it was a secret code, just that it was a code.

But seriously, this is good news for the team and hopefully they can keep them going into 2011. If they keep up this performance Flagman would be crazy not to stick with them.
The Flagman Vodka logo will appear on the nose tip and pod vanes of the car and on Petrov’s overalls.

*I wonder if they get a race of their choosing in 2011 if Korea doesn’t happen?
