AirBnB Becomes Manor-Marussia Sponsor
Because they were going so slow, you may have noticed a distinct lack of sponsor decals on the pristine Manor-Marussia team cars in the first seven races of the 2015 Formula One season – that has all changed as seven-year-old accommodations rental agency, AirBnB, was somehow convinced that displaying their logo on the Manor-Marussia cars would somehow improve their business. Manor-Marussia cars as well as driver suits of Roberto Merhi and Will Stevens will be festooned with the AirBnB logo for the remaining 12 races of the season.
Manor-Marussia is the smallest F1 team with the smallest budget [approximately $95 million].
The 2015 Formula One season continues with the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg at 5 a.m. [PDT] on NBCSN on June 21, 2015.
