Why no "Marlboro" branding on the F60 at Monaco?

I thought that this was one of the races where the tobacco ban was not in effect?

Anyone know?

Its because they said they wont be running the tobacco livery anymore, so the barcode is everywhere, marlboro is still sponsoring, but their names aint on it anymore, pretty complicated

Morning everyone.

watching the practice now and Hamilton is bumping the P1 again and again. :P
Looks like button cannot manage the chicane (10-11) after the tunnel, his hands are too slow.
He has trouble in 16 too.
For Sure!!

Hamilton spins out!

BMW and Toyota fail to heat their tyres and go out with Hamilton in Q1.

Nico sets a very nice time.

Keke said that not even snow fall can help BMW Toyota and Hamilton.

Great battle. Ferrari 2nd and 5th, with Kers, Button might be careful tomorrow.
