It's very difficult to make out because the nature of the logo design. I was thinking it would be in place of either the sidepod or wing Vodafone. But it's just a small square on the side of the headrest.
Completely invisible while the car's on-track.
I spotted the logo on the bbc.co.uk website and posted it on Twitter. Some marketing websites have also noticed it.
