When we get to the pics of Lewis I'll be getting excited again.

Rich Energy to become Haas title sponsor

Found this surprising as they were spotted on the grid with Williams last week in Austin.

Black and gold livery next year perhaps?

Hopefully, if it is true, this paves way for Ocon/Russell/Kubica at Williams.
