Do keep up at the back

Most F1 websites are today covering a story that says BAR have signed a sponsorship deal with Epson. Great news, except that we covered it a full five days ago.

We exclusively revealed the deal here at BAR-Talk.com back on 30 September, and even managed to display a picture of the BAR006 complete with Epson logo.

Back on 25 August, we revealed that BAR would be rebranding for the Chinese Grand Prix, running with a 555 livery as opposed to the normal Lucky Strike scheme. A day after our story, BAR issued a denial stating that "there are no plans at present to radically change the current livery of the team's race cars for the China Grand Prix."

What company's logo was all over the car's in Shanghai? That's right - 555.

Remember, keep it BAR-Talk.com.
