First Carlos Slim F1 sponsor shows on McLaren MP4-28
McLaren MP4-28 back wing with Claro video sponsoring
Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecommunications billionaire, has already arrived as a sponsor at British team McLaren.
When Mexican Sergio Pérez was signed for 2013 and beyond, speculation swirled that Slim's Telmex empire would replace departing McLaren title sponsor Vodafone in 2014.
The future has already arrived. On the rear wing of the McLaren MP4-28 in Barcelona last weekend were the words 'Claro Video'.
Claro, currently also a sponsor of Perez's former team, Sauber, alongside Telmex, is a Mexican mobile phone operator in the Slim stable.
And according to Mexican reports dated Monday, May 13, Slim's son Carlos Slim Domit has announced that Claro will also be a McLaren sponsor in 2014.
The German news agency DPA said Slim Jr made the announcement at last weekend's Spanish F1 grand prix.
