Ferrari and Marlboro

f1 has stopped advertising smoking in 2005 but why have they let ferrari carry on sponsering smoking?-just wanted to know-thats all:cool:

I believe that that's the EU that banned it - it's not banned in most of the non-European races so they run it there.

I don't mind, although I imagine a Ferrari Coca Cola paint scheme would look quite good :p

The F1 tobacco sponsors signed a pact to pull out by the end of 2006 - all of them obeyed except Marlboro

There is an old thread on this: http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=95706&highlight=marlboro

And a rather less sensible one started yesterday: http://www.ten-tenths.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100808

As this is a sensitive subject it seems (and we have threads anyways) we'll close this! :beer:
