I am really looking forward to seeing their car next year!!!

the malborough bar code isn't an advert as there are no 200mph bar code readers about
how do you know it is malborough anyway ?

i'd love to fun that barcode through a supermarket scanner. I reckon it'd show $100,000,000. Or something.

so, to review the two championships that fernie won. if i recall, it was in the renault that deep into alonso's season to his second wdc, the fia ruled that renault was using an illegal dampener. this dampener was also present on the renault that fernie won his first wdc. so, after the dampener was removed, the renault drove like a dog and has never driven well since.

so...

'if' fernie' never had the renault with the illegal dampener...schumi would have easily won those two years...bringing his total wdc to 9. and 'if' ferrari didnt prematurely force him to retire to bring on kimi, i am very very very certain that schumi would have won the wdc that year as well. bringing his total wdc to possibly 10. but this is all speculation and in F1...anything can happen!

Well, ruling the mass dumper illegal was quite controversial, no? Also, 2005 was between Alonso and Kimmi really. MS was out of the game that year.

It stems from the days when only certain European countries had tobacco ads banned.

Persistent rumors contend that Marlboro paid for the whole car's rights and, with agreement from Ferrari, on-sells it to the other sponsors to re-coup its initial $1b investment. can't remember when the deal ends.. 2011?

Work in one, have done so and a Ferarri F60 currently costs £5.19. It does work, provided you get the right picture with the right perspective to it.

But another topic; could be have 2 new teams in 2010???

http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/n ... 0335.shtml

Stefan GP (Stefan-Toyota) and Sauber-Ferarri. As the fine for withdrawl in F1 is $150million, that Toyota wont want to throw away, meaning that USF1 could also have access to Toyota power eventually. Yes they pull out, but not a total pull out.

The legalitys are unclear at the moment. But id say that 14 teams is arguably too much, but god damn, it would be bloody fun, 28 cars on the grid barraling towards turn 1 at Monaco, i call carnage.

does that happen to be the same price as a pack of marls in that same store?

Yup. Or was at the time i did it last year. Now its about £5.60 or something close to that.

When BAR-Honda and Honda did something simmilar that had the EAN number on the car, whitch if you type that into any EPOS system that sells cigs, it comes up the price and product decription.

Because that bar code is in the spot that Marlboro bought the sponsorship for.

And common knowledge.

don't forget

Heres the list i have put together for the 2010 season so far.

I have included Sauber as the 14th team and i have included Stefan GP provisonally as the team formarly known as Toyota as well. Im not sure of the legalitys there. The team names are for what could be what the Renault outcome may be next week.

Drivers, i have included as many as i can, but with a few from the left field as well, ones that may/wouldnt normally be expected to be associated fot a F1 drive.

ESP, a couple errors on an otherwise fine summary of current affairs:

- Massa & Alonso the wrong way around
- Senna has #21, he's also not German!
- DC is no longer the reserve driver for Red Bull either, whilst Ricciardo is publicly being spoken about for the role, officially it is still Alguesuari. I'm guessing Hartley is the next in line due to him being reserve prior to the German GP.
- Glock is German

good work tho!
