According to PlanetF1 the "Mission Winnow" branding will be back in Bahrain. It seems to be an issue with Australian advertising rules...oh well.

90 years? I'm a Ferrari fan to the core but when did they decide that the company was founded in 1929?
The Scuderia Ferrari team was founded by Enzo Ferrari on 16th November 1929 and became the official racing team for Alfa Romeo. It's like Williams running another manufacturer's chassis which they did with March and of course the likes of DeTomaso, ISO and Brabham when it was Frank Williams Racing before building their own some years later.No Mission Winnow for Canada and France, back to the 90 Years graphics https://www.crash.net/f1/news/921231/1/ferrari-dro...

france has strict tobacco advertising rules.
The issue here is that vaping and similar products don't yet fall into any pre-existing retail category. They're not a tobacco product. They're not confectionary nor medicinal. It's a rare case of a completely brand new category of product emerging into an unregulated territory of retail which is why in terms of distribution, chip-board walled, grubby, low-rent shops tend to prevail although supermarkets are now cottoning on to the potential.At the moment, it's a self-regulating thing which is why some country's view the product with suspicion and treat it the same way they would fags and others less so.
The fag companies are throwing billions at vaping. Philip Morris' IQOS product is sold through shops that look more like Apple Stores in a carefully managed distribution network. In other sense, you would expect to see that brand on the side of an F1 car as you sued to do with Marlborough and Rothmans - but IQOS is effectively a cigarette that uses heat to roast the tobacco rather than a flame to burn it.
Once the EU and others agree on the categorisation and regulations, then assuming they agree to the medical reports on levels if health impact (currently being as little different to coffee) then I would imagine we'll see more and more sponsorship emerging into the sport.

this is making a mockery of the tobacco ban, everyone knows what it is
It's not though. I understand why this thought prevails but vaping is a completely different 'thing'.Companies that sell tobacco are developing and sell vaping related product and some (not all) of the juices contain nicotine. But as I said above, it's a completely 'new' product category.
