The oldest and most famous team in F1 has
changed its name this weekend, but not
many people have noticed, as the news has
not been officially announced.
For Silverstone and beyond, Scuderia
Ferrari Marlboro has reverted to its
traditional moniker of Scuderia Ferrari. It
doesn’t make any difference to the logos
on the cars, but the new name will appear
on the official FIA entry list, and things like
signboards over the pit garage.
The move has been made in light of
ongoing pressure from anti-tobacco
interests around the world, although the
team maintains that it didn’t have to
change.
“It’s our decision,” a team spokesman told
SPEED.com. “We already comply with all the
rules in the UK and everywhere else.”
