Mercedes could be on the receiving end of losing another sponsor ahead of the new 2022 season after a long-term deal with Epson came to an end. Japanese electronics and printer company, Epson, will not continue their sponsorship of the eight-time world champions this year.
However, RacingNews365.com also reports Bose could be the next big sponsorship deal not to be renewed after they no longer appear on the Mercedes list of partners on their website.
The website does report that talks between the audio tech giants and Mercedes are ongoing, with the team still in a strong position commercially, despite missing out on the Drivers’ world title.
It means the car, set to be driven by Lewis Hamilton and his new team-mate George Russell, could look significantly different next season, if the reports are also true the team is reverting back to the silver livery.
Unveiling their 2021 challenger at the start of the year, the team opted to retain its striking black livery as a continued sign of their commitment to improving diversity and inclusion within Mercedes, and the sport as a whole.
