Frosted: With F1 this is the exception rather than the rule. The car above is run by a team currently called Brawn GP. It's the result of a management buyout which was only announced a few weeks ago of the outgoing Honda F1 team. Honda decided they couldn't afford to compete anymore, thus the management bought the team & are now running it.

It's not plastered with corporate logos (and indeed until Saturday didn't even have the Virgin logo on it) because in organising the buyout, they simply haven't had time to attract sponsors, as until late Feb nobody even knew if the team would survive to race this year.

That said, the cars in F1 are typically fairly subdued with their advertising, as opposed to the Australian domestic racing championship, the V8 Supercars series, where every car is absolutely plastered with ads.
