Activity Ferrari is taking place in almost all member states. They are the works team - a team of a company that has car dealerships all over EU. Being present in F1, being present in the media trough sporting activity (partially thanks to money acquired from tobacco company) enables them to use it for advertising of their brand in several member sates.
London Ferrari store interior - same barcode.
Get the point? If you hook up kids on logo, barcode and they learn that once there was Marlboro directly written, once they get in a position to try smoking, guess which pack will they go for? They are sending clear subliminal message to youngsters and adults - if it was on our car than it is good.
Reminded me on that satirical graffiti "All the best things in the world are red - Coca Cola, Ferrari, Marlboro, Communism..."

Private sponsorship is prohibited too (private as invisible, without public knowledge (no statements or logos but purely financially - in the background).
