Spyker in talks with title sponsor?
(GMM) 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 rumored that Dutch beer brewer Heineken may also become involved with Spyker this year, but almost certainly not as title sponsor.
