These companies are heavily pushing their product to children in developing counties. You call that filling a niche market?

Your standard pusher selling meth in the corner of the street is a more honest guy than these executives in cigarette companies. They both are filling the demand of deadly product. The difference is that the former isn't pushing his product aggressively to new markets.

Ok then, let's grab our torches and pitchforks and go after Mr. Arrivabene! LOL

So that's why they wanted Gutierrez then - not for his driving abilities ;)

Also worthy to note that only simulator work was mentioned for him...

I felt for him, in a bad way... Goes to show, it's all $ these days. Sigh!

I see nothing wrong with getting a bunch of new sponsors + a pretty decent driver to do the simulator work... that's a really good deal for Ferrari imo. :xmassmile:

More money to spend on development work and to take the lead in F1 next year.

Did you really just compare cigs to meth??? I love how everybody gets their underwear in a knot over tobacco sponsorship, yet no one bats an eye over alcohol sponsorship when alcohol is arguably more destructive than tobacco.

No diss, mate--just that the irony's pretty thick considering your username.
