    What would you say to the Vodafone Board tonight if it was your decision to pull out of sponsoring Ferrari and move your 07 Dollars to Mclaren?

    I believe he's implying how foolish it must feel to those who's decision it was to sponsor McMerc over Ferrar.

    I would proudly say to the board...

    "WE have gotten more exposure this year than we could have ever hoped for! Our investment has kept our name alive better than ever hoped! Lucky we ditched Ferrari and jumped on board with WINNERS instead" :)

    Does the scandal really have any ill effects to Vodafone?

    I don't think anyone thinks they had anything to do with this and their name is out there.

    Decision Maker: Arun Sarin, Vodafone CEO

    Grounds for decision: McLaren 2007 sponsorship nearly 50% CHEAPER than Ferrari.

    Other considerations: None


    P.S. I was there

    Next March this will all be forgotten (unless Ferrari make another cr@p car and need to stir the **** to try and win ;)) and McLaren and one of their drivers will have the WDC.

    Sponsoring sport always has these risks ... but all they really care about is exposure and winning, not how. This is why sponsorship is not good for motorsport IMO.
