What a shame everyone in Europe went on a very politically correct anti-tobacco witch hunt a few years back, not allowing advertising. Shame really as they are still doing very well and have the money to invest to safeguard teams futures. Ferrari still have Marlboro backing but they use the clever white barcode design, but we still know it's Marlboro so it makes a mockery of the ban anyway. Dump the banks, embrace the cigarette. :)

Am not surprised as they changed their CEO a couple of months ago and he has no interest in motorsport. It'll be interesting whether Renault feel F1 is still worth the hassle, guess it'll all depend on whether Alonso wins a few GP's this year.

What does RBS boss Fred Goodwin know, he's the one who bought ABN AMRO and brought RBS to its knees. Fred Goodwin is so far up JYS' bottom he can't see daylight. He shouldn't be allowed to comment on anything, what an absolute prickj.
