Ferrari launches new F1 logo after barcode controversy
Ferrari on Thursday unveiled a new logo for its formula one team.
The current logo features the infamous 'barcode' that was recently removed from the F10 car, following suggestions it subliminally advertised Marlboro cigarettes.
But the new logo, to be used from 2011, remains red and white and is more angular than before, moving some observers to surmise that it reminds them even more of main sponsor Philip Morris' product.
And team boss Stefano Domenicali told reporters at Silverstone: "I can confirm that next year the team name will be the same -- Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro."

I've never heard Ferrari being called "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro" before. I thought it was just Scuderia Ferrari. That barcode reminded me more of the Iceland supermarket chain than it did cigarettes.

I agree - I am not sure what Marlboro is really getting for all their millions.
