    I think PM has paid them already, not much need to replace them as I am sure they have a contractural obligation to PM.

    No.

    The larger the area of solid red is, the better the car looks.

    Yes, while I'm not a hater of advertisement like some I think a clean red Ferrari F1 car is awesome

    I agree...The F10 is almost 80cm longer than cars 3 years ago. And the front end on pretty much all F1 cars now is just so ugly :(.

    The less sponsor decals and aero gadges the better. Less is more!

    The fact that we're at a point where the idea of MORE advertising is attractive to some speaks volumes.

    The big blank red spot with white wings is their sponsor.

    And they get paid millions.

    Strictly speaking is Marlboro a sponsor or part owner of the Scuderia?

    I love that colour!! I don't know why they didn't stick with it. Also thats probably my favourite Ferrari of the 2k's.

    And yes I do think they need a new sponsor something else with a red back ground like coca cola for example lol, although I do like the red and white of Santander.

    While we are on the subject of Santander, am I the only one that hates these Santander logo trophies they have been giving out? I thought there was a rule that said the trophies could not be corporate logos? I guess Santander paid BE to get that changed. Anyway they are ugly and uninspired...

    They are but IMHO that has more to do with the puny wings and poor proportions than it does with surface decoration.

    I had read sometime ago(5or 6 years ago) That PM had structured a deal with Ferrari that they would "buy" the entire space on the car for a pre determined amount.
    Shell space excluded as Shell has been a main sponsor for many years if not decades

    Any subsequent sponsor that did not clash with the Marlboro brand would in effect lease the space from PM although Ferrari would be the contracting party along with PM.

    At the time the deal had been rumoured at roughly $200m per year.


    Wether it was all hot air or not I cannot say therefore I stand to be corrected.

    The cars are purposely getting longer, in order to put more sponsors on them!

    :D

    Now, if Marlboro were to contact Rob so they could be a Sponsor here . . .

    FerrariChat would look slick on there.
