Mercedes set to land former Williams sponsor Rokit

Former Williams sponsor Rokit is reportedly set to ally with Mercedes Formula 1 team after prematurely ending its association with Williams. According to RaceFans, the Rokit branding could adorn the Mercedes livery from the first race of the season in Austria. Williams and Rokit cancelled the partnership last month. “We’re absolutely shocked that a team with whom we have a long-standing relationship has signed Rokit, particularly as it is well known what happened,” a Williams source told RaceFans. The decision to partner with Mercedes is understood to have come about following talks between Rokit and three other teams- Haas, Racing Point, Ferrari. Source: grandrpix247
