http://www.patronisef1.co(...)ersial-pmi-agreementquote:The Ferrari Formula One team have extended their 'collaboration' with the Philip Morris International tobacco company through to the end of the 2015 championship season, the Italian team confirmed in a brief statement on Tuesday.
The low-key confirmation of the deal reflected the somewhat contentious background of the partnership, with Ferrari still ostensibly carrying title sponsorship from a tobacco company.
The sport eradicated tobacco sponsorship throughout the middle of the last decade, reflecting the dwindling number of markets where tobacco logos were still allowed to be legally advertised.
But Ferrari were the one team to persist with their tobacco backing, even after it became impossible for them to actively display the brand on their cars.
The announcement means that the arrangement between the two companies will continue until at least the end of 2015, despite the fact that Ferrari have not been allowed to carry the brand name on their cars since 2007.
The confirmation on Ferrari's official website stated simply: "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro announces that it has extended its collaboration agreement with Philip Morris International to the end of 2015."
No further details of the new deal were forthcoming, however the current deal, signed back in 2005, was reported to be worth as much as $1 billion for Ferrari in terms of revenue from PMI.
The agreement between the companies hit the headlines last year, when Ferrari were accused of carrying 'subliminal advertising' on their cars in the form of the 'barcode' design used in lieu of Marlboro writing.
The team denied that this was the case, but nevertheless dropped the barcodes from their car design shortly afterwards.
Individual national laws around the world do still allow for Ferrari's F1 team to be used to advertise Marlboro, most notably at this season's Monaco Grand Prix, when Marlboro posters carrying photos of Ferrari cars were displayed near the Portier corner.
Ferrari has carried Marlboro backing on their Formula One cars for every season since 1984.
The Italian team will continue to be officially entered for Formula One world championships as 'Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro' on the FIA's entry list.
Dit is gewoon zo. Tegenovergestelde van Italianen.quote:Op woensdag 15 juni 2011 09:47 schreef Weltschmerz het volgende:

Misschien heb ik me niet duidelijk uitgedrukt, maar ik kom wel eens in Oost-Europa en telkens valt het me weer op hoe onverzorgd de mannen er daar erbij lopen, trainingspakken, slippers, bleek, ongeschoren. Ze zijn niet erg metro zeg maar, het zal wel een soort machocultuur zijn om je vooral niet in te spannen om er maar enigzins aantrekkelijk voor vrouwen uit te zien, terwijl de vrouwen daar zich nogal uitsloven voor hun uiterlijk. Je ziet daar aldoor van dat soort stelletjes, vandaar dat ik totaal niet schrik van hoe slecht hij er uit ziet. Als Rosberg of een Italiaan er na een ongeluk zo bijloopt is het een ander verhaal.
Ehmmm ... 5 (gok) miljoen sponsor-geld zegt van wel.quote:

Als Kubica de laatste race van het jaar rijdt is dat een promotionele voltreffer.
Dat lijkt me ook weer een beetje overdrevenquote:Op donderdag 16 juni 2011 17:51 schreef THEFXR het volgende:

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/92374quote:Formula 1's ban on the off-throttle use of blown diffusers will definitely come into force at the British Grand Prix, AUTOSPORT can reveal, after the details were finalised by technical chiefs and the FIA on Thursday.
Just days after FIA technical delegate Charlie Whiting wrote to the teams to make it clear that he was determined to push through the ban, the matter was discussed in detail by F1 thinktank - the Technical Working Group
Although no official statement has been made about the outcome of the meeting, sources have revealed to AUTOSPORT that the FIA saw no reason to postpone its intended ban any further than Silverstone, having delayed its original start date of the Spanish Grand Prix because of what it feared would be 'unintended consequences' for teams.
This will effectively limit teams to using just 10% of engine over-run when the driver is off the accelerator - which will prevent the clever mapping systems that have pumped almost full throttle exhaust flow through engines when the driver was not on the power.
As well as the change for this year's regulations, the teams and the FIA agreed a bigger revision to the 2012 rules that will make it impossible for teams to run any form of blown diffuser.
Rather than limiting the location of exhausts to a box near the centreline of the cars, as originally suggested in Whiting's latter last weekend, the TWG agreed that the rules should instead force teams to run top-exit exhausts - which were common in F1 several years ago.
This change was made because some teams believed that even having exhausts exiting at the rear of the car above the diffuser meant there was still a chance of them being able to influence the car's aerodynamics.
The changes for the British GP are expected to affect almost every team on the grid - although how much it has an impact on the competitive order is unclear.
Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali suggested in Canada last weekend that the revisions could lead to a completely different picture for the second half of the championship.
"We need to see in Silverstone, what is the real effect of this change in the regulations with regard to the effect of the exhaust," he explained.
"Then, we will see really where is the second championship in terms of the level of performance above all in higher downforce tracks."
