F1 Title Sponsorship - Lets hope not
It could be a money spinner for Bernie but look what "champ cars" has become:

CART has been struggling for survival, Formula 1 hasn't....yet
Bernie has too much money too allow this to happen imo, however, once he goes, who knows! (Don't forget that the "poorest" team in F1 - Minardi's budget could keep half the teams in Cart going for a season!) |

It is a bit of a mouthful. For CART it is good news to be associated with a couple of names.
To F1. I'd never really thought about it, but yes F1 doesn't have a title sponsorship. In some ways it surprises me. However, it is quite good that it doesn't have one. What would you call it? The Ferrari F1 Championship? Personally I think it would be nice if it was sponsored by a German bank Seriously, it is good it hasn't got one. If you look at all the FIA championship, I think, they are all title sponsor free. The GT and touring cars come together for LG super racing in association with Eurosport (or some such), but the individual series are title sponsor free. Interesting. |

I'm sure I remember Bernie once saying he'd never have a title sponsor.
And I think it is FIA policy to not have the FIA name in sponsored series. |
