Spritle has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Last year Ferrari's Group Sales were up 17% and Operating Profits up 36%, not too shabby. Hopefully this link will take you to an article from Daily F1 from May 15:

As far as the tobacco ban, (what a load of ****), hopefully all of motorsport will be able to benefit from the divestitures that tobacco companies have made into 'politically correct" businesses. I don't know if the ban includes ALL tobacco company owned businesses or just the butt business.

For example, Phillip Morrris owns Kraft Foods, Nabisco, and Oscar Meyer among others. That's alot of money that may be able to be used for sponsorships without getting somebody upset over the health risks of Oreo cookies or Velveeta cheese. Who knows, maybe we will have an F1 version of a Oscar Meyer Weinermobile?
