Come on guys, security won't be a problem. Just because they're in the Middle East doesn't mean it's a target.
Oh yeah, and the F1 teams and fans will be guests in Bahrain. Security will be taken care of.
Now, if they were trying to pull an armored derby again, like they did last year, security would be something else.

European countries are adopting strict laws against tobacco advertising. As a result, F1 is moving races out of Europe and into less restrictive countries. I just hope some ***head doesn't run onto the grid with a bomb strapped to his back.

Yes, because when I see "Marlboro" on the rear aerofoil of Mikey's F-car, I think "Hmm... maybe now would be a good time to start smoking."

PC policy = One step forward, two steps back.

Seriously ,do you think that the Marlboro paint on the car is only for decorative purpose ?

I'm glad to see tobacco moving out of sports. I always equated sports with family events, and kids are the key component to a family.

Yeap, I agree. We just need more sponsors for racing like Budwieser, Miller, and Coors. Alcohol and driving, whatta a combo!!!

I think Hitech Creations should become the main sponsor an F1 team. Perhaps they could take over Minardi or Sauber.

No offense to the crew, but Im pretty sure HTC couldnt afford tires for a season, let alone a team.

Advertising does not equal brainwashing.

Are you suggesting that its the duty of a government or other regulatory agency to dictate what I should and should not be able to see? Do you expect simple minded humans to stammer out of the house, run to the nearest tobacco shop and start chewing on raw leaves in a frenzied manner when they see an advertisement?

Come on saur..its just a few billion. You then devide that by the number of players and all the players get their name on the cars. If you want the good spots on the car you just pay abit more every month to HTC

er yes it does...I work for a big Swiss based pharmaceutical manufacturer, every 2-3 years they throw about £2 million at advertising multivitamins for a space of 6 weeks - demand triples or quadruples for 6 weeks then tails off over the next 24 months before the next cash injection.

Advertising works each and every time - sell rubbish, just make sure your ad spend is HUGE!!

Dunno for the USA but here it's the whole population that support the smoker and their not so cheap agony.

Call that nanny or whatever name ,but the governement when interdicting ads for toxic products will perhaps take less of my money for people who don't care of their future.

I've nothing against smoker or drinker I'm myself occasional smoker/drinker.

But if instead of agonising during month (and costing thousand of € the socity) we suggest to the addicted to suicide at the 1st symptom I'll ask to remove the ban for advertisement.
