In the eye's of the FIA-
Scantily clad women and Tobacco advertisement/ endorsement.
No more Grid girls and frowning on Tobacco money sponsorships.


Haha, good catch on the heels!

IMO the world was a better place when people weren't offended by boobs and smokes.

Plenty of scantily clad women at every event we have attended. Guess I had no idea that they had a problem with it. Tobacco is pretty much passe' and doubt they could afford that much space on a F1 car in 2022.......lol! CrytoCurrency and high tech companies is all you see at the races.

Tobacco companies were banned years ago by FIA. But they definitely could still afford it, insert Europe and Asia where all the big smokes have moved their business and people smoke like chimneys. Heck Mission Winnow was a made up company to allow Phillip Morris to stay involved in Scuderia Ferrari. They have some BS mission statement but it was crafted out of thin air to skate FIA’s no tobacco rules. I’ll be interested if they will allow weed companies to sponsor when it’s legalized broad scale. Bitcoin and crypto….[emoji1785]

True dat!!!! North America has moved away but Asia and lots of Europe are definitely puffing away. Medical marijuana will probably be the first to make the jump.

South East Asians are dang near as big as Italians on their cigs. I was talking with some GT3 guys and the running joke was that Ferrari’s team principal (Binotto) was paid partly in cigarettes. Apparently there is at least some truth in the old Marlboro days.

I was going off what I read last year when trying to figure out where the World GP umbrella girls went. The articles I came across mentioned World GP was following F-1's lead.

Moto America still uses them, world GP does not- because some Karen was offended or something.
Took good paying jobs from some lookers because ....feelings.

Here's a few articles I Ducked up to validate the thought-

Who knows, maybe the ban didn't stick?

F1 Addict........my apologizes as I did not see you had already started a 2022 F1 thread. Hopefully a moderator can combine the two threads as lots of good discussions on what the season is going to look like. oh, and thanks for kicking it off as the last month for me has been super crazy.

No worries! Glad to see you back posting!

11 days left until the first pre-season testing.

The few launches / reveals so far have been interesting. The McLaren MCL36 is beautiful!!

And very glad to see Lando extended out to 2025.
