The famous Internet brand Google could soon be seen on the painted carbon bodywork of a formula one car.
The company's co-founder Larry Page, one of the world's richest billionaires, was a guest of McLaren title sponsor Vodafone at last weekend's Monaco grand prix.
Interestingly, the 36-year-old American is a friend of Sir Richard Branson, the British billionaire who has been considering ramping up his Virgin backing of the dominant Brawn team .
Page was married on Branson's own Caribbean island, and the pair have also been linked in various business ventures.
Brawn is not the only team interested in Google sponsorship, however; every major outfit on the grid is believed to have put out the feelers as to how serious Page's interest is.
