That Ferrari pride must be new, as they had Marlboro as part of the entrant name for a long time, and still had a sponsor as part of the entrant name as recently as 2021 - Mission Winnow, which was still just Philip Morris anyway.
The point being that Ferrari, as with all teams, will drop their 'pride' for a price.
