F1 | McLaren, Petrobras new sponsor for 2018?

According to what was reported by Auto Motor Und Sport, McLaren may have signed an important sponsorship agreement in view of 2018. The poor performances of recent years have distanced several sponsors from the Woking team, most recently the Hugo Boss brand, but according to what was reported by the German , Zack Brown would have closed an important deal with Petrobras.

The Brazilian oilman, we remember, sponsored Williams in the last two seasons, supporting Felipe Massa's career at Grove. With the Brazilian's farewell, however, the commercial objectives of the Brazilian brand have changed, especially from an economic point of view. Precisely in this sense, Sette Camara could join the McLaren Academy in 2018. The Brazilian will race in F2 with Carlin in the next championship and will share the garage with Lando Norris, the leading talent of the Woking Scuderia.

A maxi commercial operation that could allow McLaren to manage resources much more calmly after a couple of rather complicated seasons in terms of sponsorships. When asked about the matter, Brawn confirmed the closure of two economic agreements for 2018, but did not reveal the names of the brands in question.

Here are the words of the English Manager: “We have signed two sponsors that we haven't announced yet, so I think people can expect more big brands on McLaren cars for 2018.”
