and? Teams have had names like that for ages, West McLaren Mercedes, Mild Seven (Benetton) Renault. It's common principal for the title sponsor of a team to be in part of the team name.

have honda continued with the lucky strike BAR honda thing without the BAR bit? if they have, then yeah they're as bad as ferrari.

but mclaren have dropped the west, williams dropped tobacco years ago, and most of the other teams don't use tobacoo, why should ferrari and BAR/Honda/whoever be stopping healthy companies from entering f1?! madness.

it does make sense for Vodafone to review their investments

Ferrari,Honda,Marlboro et al have little to do with it

it does, coca cola have said they're not prepared to enter a sport in which tobacco is a rival sponsor. it also stops clean sponsors such as drugs (not those sort) that... or what about nicotine patches if they wanted to sponsor!!! that would be pretty funny seeing a car with mild seven and nicorette on the same car.

i wouldn't exactly class Coca Cola as a 'healthy' company either.

it should be called "Rot-your-teeth in a can"

as if they can take the moral highground, with their 8 spoons of sugar in every can.

lmao. Coca Cole were in NASCARs top series many years when it was known as the Winston Cup. The sport was primarly funded by Tobacco and Coca Cola had no problems entering that MANY times over. No chance in hell Coca Cola have said they wont enter a sport with tobacco sponsorship - they do so on a regular basis.

and redbull is banned in france and its not good for u either.

Nor is salad in large doses. Does it make it bad? Course not. Red Bull was banned in countries because some twat drunk far far too many cans and died (most likely from caffine overdoes). The same thing can happen if you drink too much Coca Cola, Pepsi, coffee, hot chocolate, tea, or anything else which contains caffine. RB just has more of it than normal.
