    please say it isn't true...
    but, a buddy called me last night from europe (he's picking up his 430!!) we were talking about his first drive and
    what route he should take and he said he heard A LOT of rumors about an apparent tiff going on between Ferrari and Shell oil.
    so much that they ARE, not rumor, but are going to end there sponsorship beginning 2012.

    PLEASE, does anyone know anything??

    Would that equate to cheaper oil changes at service time ?

    Why would Shell pull their sponsorship from the greatest team of the modern day F1 era? Stupid business move imo if there is any truth to the rumour?
