The tobacco people Philip Morris have cancelled the Ducati/Ferrari snow event next year, citing the current economic conditions. Lets hope they don't decide to pull out all together.
Yup, they can't openly advertise their products and neither Ducati or Ferrari are really delivering at the moment
Maybe its time for a new sponsor anyway, Marlboro have done both companies proud especially as its been pointed out they cant technically advertise the product any longer and its only people 'in the know' that associate the brands. A bit pointless in todays climate.
The problem for them is they can't advertise anywhere else either as its the TV rules that dictate what can and cannot be advertised and not the racing rules. I suspect they realise that were they to leave racing they have effectively ended all opportunities for advertising in sport.
