The team’s official name will become ‘McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team’ from next season.

Boo!

A heritage team like McLaren or Ferrari should not do title sponsorships IMO.

I agree, but there is no room for romance in capitalism. If there is over $100m on the table they're not turning it down. Especially since the combination of the budget cap and the exploding popularity post-DTS has turned F1 from a marketing money sink into a for-profit venture.

Ferrari was Marlboro-Ferrari for years. As soon as Enzo died, they painted the cars Marlboro red and named it rosso corsa.
