The Malaysian Minister of Health announced that the country was set to ban all tobacco advertising from the beginning of next year.
However, sportevents that are highly dependent on tobacco advertising will be granted an exeption from the new law, although this is only temporarely. This means that the F1 Malaysian Grand Prix will be able to carry tobacco advertising for the foreseeable future.

Wow!
Does this mean that Ferrari will be able to paint the Marlboro logo on it?

Poor animal :( I thought deer don't smoke, but did Stefan Johansson smoke Marlboro? If not, then it's OT [-X
