Formula 1 sponsorship announcement.

The F1's have a new sponsor in 2007: ING So I popped down to the pitlane at Albert Park for a gander and to report for 3AW.

Tim Bamford from the GP corp did the intros, with Ron Walker making the official announcement, then introducing ING CEO Paul Bedbrook. I had to duck off and do a live cross to Neil Mitchell's show so I missed the part about how many billions of dollars ING are worth. *sigh*

Any hoo, here are the pics.

A wire model F1. The delightful Ms Emma Tierney of the GP corp is there too. Oh and some tall guy with red hair.

The ING Mascot earns his keep.

ING naming rights sponsor for the next 3 years.

The ING lion. Note creative use of gaffa tape to hold his paws on..
