First warm up lap for Schumacher, because in his first race he didn´ get as far as this corner.

After 49 years, PMI and Marlboro step down from sponsoring Ferrari (and 38 years since the first time Marlboro was part of the livery)

It's weird to think that the Ferrari wasn't exactly a fag packet on wheels until the late 90s. Until 1997 the logos on the engine cover and nose were actually fairly small:

In fact, the logos were only super prominent between 1997 - 2006. It's a bit surprising in context, given how linked the two companies are.

I had wondered the context the photo had been taken in as I thought exactly that!

I wish the sport could have the cigarette money without the cigarettes.

This. I understand the need to cut back the advertising, but it so unfairly hit motorsport that I've always been bitter about the anti smoking lobby.

I mean the world is a 100% better place due to the reduction in tobacco advertising (I don't even really know anyone who smokes any more, when I was younger it was about 50% of everyone I knew)
Public transport, cinemas, restaurants, nightclubs, you name it are so much better now this smoking thing isn't allowed there.
Smokers had the world to ransom for too long

I love F1 but if some of our millionares had to do a bit more work to find alternative sponsorship to allow that to happen?
Meh, I'll live.

And what changed in 1997? A certain other team changing to WEST? :whistling:

TBH I always thought McLaren had the primary Malboro sponsorship and Ferrari the secondary (because there was no way Ferrari were gonna run in malboro colours no matter how much they were paid lol)

But in 1996 I think they gave notice to Mclaren they were going full Ferrari and given them the Number 1 sponsorship because they wanted to be part of the Schumacher winning thing and Mclaren didn't look as good, and there you have it.

*edit* Fucked up the quote

For more money, F1 needs the masses. It should stop being an elite, falsely classy and glamorous sport. Masses bring money. That's why football attracts sponsors from all kinds of companies, with larger budgets than F1. You could run a decent F1 team with just one of the largest transfers, but it won't nearly bring as much money in ticket sales, viewership or merch as it does letting Neymar roll around on your local lawn pretending to be hurt

more like shady betting companies and infinite oil money haha

But I agree with you, today is more common to see kids wearing PSG jerseys here than those knock off Ferrari t-shirts they used to sell back in the day
