About Adam
Expertise
I`m a big F1 fan and have been since the early 80s. I read weekly European specialist F1 press and keep on top of what`s happening in F1, such as results and testing, team politics, what drivers are saying etc. I`m especially a follower of the French Prost (formally Ligier) team and am also involved in karting and sports car racing in England.

Experience
Writing accounts of the performance of the (then)Ligier team during Grand Prix meetings. Organinsing karting competitions for 300+ drivers and of course being an Allexperts Formula One expert

Answer
Hello Giuseppe, thanks for the question. I am not sure if I fully understand what it is you are asking.

Each F1 team has a number of sponsors, the drivers too. The spsonsor companies and/or their brands are painted (or high quality stickers are often used) on the cars of each of the 10 teams, of course nearly all are different to each other but some companies' decals are presented on more than 1 team (e.g. shared component suppliers such as for tyres, spark plugs etc). Also Red Bull sponsor 2 teams (=4 cars).

You cannot buy most of these stickers commercially as they are specially made for/by the F1 teams to fit onto the cars' bodywork, however for the smaller stickers, these are available from several merchandising stores, I will provide details below. Regarding paintwork, of course you are able to do this yourself, or have someone else do it to your car, there are many sources for pictures of F1 cars that you can copy (magazines, inline etc), but you may need to be aware of trademark/copyright if you are doing this sort of thing.

Also, you can write to the sponsors and ask for stickers, some will be more than happy to oblige you.

I hope this helps,
Good luck,
Adam
