    Theres no sponsor bc of the tobacco advertising laws in europe, and the high mirror are so he can keep an eye on the rear tire wear on the right side according to speed channel.

    cool, last year he had the time to get the car parked, get out, check the wear on his 4 tires, get back in and still win the race, this year he has to settle with an offset mirror, who said being worldchamp is easy? ;)
    btw thanks for the explanation, hadn't even noticed myself..

    Mirror thing doesn't seem to make sense as on a predominately right hand circuit it will be the left rear that will wear more

    As "Joker" stated, it is to monitor the rear tire. This is nothing new as he's run a bunch of races with that mirror configuration. A Jordan ran practice with tobacco advertising - wonder what if any reprecussions will follow.

    He shouldn't concentrate that much on the rears, look at his front tires, smoking!
