DHL close to Spyker title sponsorship for 2007 - Heineken also linked
DHL obviously no F1 stranger and seemingly looking for a way back in?
Although any deal with Heineken is expected to be a secondary sponsorship, I think Heineken as a brand addition to F1 would be great - a great global brand
Plus, dont DHL run a young driver scheme, the DHL Speed Academy or something? Is that still operating in the lower formulae??

Spyker in talks with title sponsor?
DHL and Heineken linked to Spyker F1
08/02/07 10:13
The Dutch-owned F1 team Spyker could be on the verge of signing a title sponsor.
According to reports from the scene of the new F8-VII's maiden test at Silverstone this week, the German cargo company 'DHL' is apparently close to penning a deal for 2007.
Via the Bonn-based brand and also parent company Deutsche Post World Net, DHL was previously involved in F1 with the team's former guise, Jordan.
According to a member of the Dutch media, DHL already has an air and sea freight contract with Spyker for the export of its road cars.
There was no DHL signage on Spyker's 2007 car when it was launched at Silverstone, however.
It is also rumoured that Dutch beer brewer Heineken may also become involved with Spyker this year, but almost certainly not as title sponsor.

If this news is accurate, it's good news for F1. The smaller teams need all the help they can get against the might of the front-runners. I like Spyker's style - direct, aggressive, slightly unconventional. Good luck to them.

DHL sponsort Spyker
bron: Formule 1 RaceReport
Koeriersbedrijf DHL wordt een van de sponsoren van Spyker F1. Zoveel is wel duidelijk nadat vandaag in Silverstone een reclamespot voor DHL werd opgenomen waarin het Nederlandse Formule 1-team een hoofdrol vervult.
Op dinsdagochtend werd bij de hoofdingang van Silverstone al druk gebouwd aan een filmset, waarin twee Spykers werden geflankeerd door een bataljon aan DHL-vrachtwagens.
Een dag later schoof de filmploeg een paar honderd meter op, naar de paddock van het Britse circuit. Doel: het maken van een reclamespot waarin Spyker de hoofdrol speelt. De hagelnieuwe F8-VII, die maandag werd onthuld, kreeg gezelschap van een drietal dummy-racewagens: Formule Volkswagens met een Formule 1-achtig bodywork. Gedurende de hele dag werden opnamen gemaakt. Overigens is de naam van DHL vreemd genoeg nog niet op de auto te zien.
Of DHL hoofdsponsor wordt van Spyker is onduidelijk. Michiel Mol, grootaandeelhouder van Spyker, vertelde op maandag aan FORMULE 1 RaceReport dat zijn team met twee bedrijven in onderhandeling is. Bierbrouwer Heineken, die eerder genoemd werd als mogelijke hoofdsponsor, is volgens Mol niet in beeld voor die positie. ,,Maar we gaan waarschijnlijk wel iets doen met Heineken.”
Vandaag was Mol niet bereikbaar voor commentaar, maar op basis van zijn opmerking een dag eerder is het niet waarschijnlijk dat DHL hoofdsponsor wordt. ,,Ik reken er niet op dat we voor Melbourne een hoofdsponsor hebben”, verklaarde de ondernemer vlak na de presentatie van de nieuwe Spyker.

If DHL hoofdsponsor become of Spyker are unclear. Michiel mole, shareholder of Spyker, told on Monday to FORMULA 1 RaceReport that its team with two companies in negotiation is. Bierbrouwer Heineken, who was called earlier as

it say's that this german one seater racer won't be powered by Ford but possibly by Volkswagen.
on the motorshow in essen there were Ford stickers on the dallara but they were suddenly removed a day later, aking volkswagen boss Kris Nissen he said they were still negotiating with raceclass for the talents.
it's the only thing i could find but maybe it's a start for Volkswagen in formule classe
