it is funny... especially when you consider that the Williams FW-24 body kit on the defunct F-201 chassis had stickers of "Veltins" a known brand of German beer.
and on the older F-103, the Benetton B-195 had "Bitburger", another brand of German beer. and on the even older F-102, the Williams FW-14 had Canadian beer brand "Labatts"...
it's ironic, isn't it?
oh well... looks like we will have to resort to buying an aftermarket decal set for the new Mclaren kit...
