The Gadafi family attempted to sponsor McLaren

The Gadafi family proposed to sponsor McLaren Formula 1 team in early 2010, said yesterday the Daily Mail on its website, in a report that confirmed the team itself soon after.

According to the Daily Mail, Alex Waters, former Formula 3, served as intermediary between the Office of Tourism in Libya, led by Saif Gaddafi, son of the leader of Libya, and McLaren, in a sponsorship project would have reached the 25 million pounds (about 28 million euros).

McLaren said there was "no meeting " between its employees and representatives of the Libyan consortium and the deal never got past the "preparatory phase. "

I thought SPEED handled it well up front (talked about what was going on), then they had to cut to Buxton who then tried to claim all was good and F1 could unify a country...

I'm perfectly OK with them letting the news be covered by the news organizations/journalists, but don't provide the hand fed propaganda if you're going to stay out of it.
