According to racefans.net https://www.racefans.net/2019/03/03/ferrari-quietl...

Ferrari have dropped the PMI "Mission Winnow" bks from their name.

Hadn't realised McLaren had picked up sponsorship from BAT - A Better Tomorrow (subtle? Not).

The things people will do to subvert tobacco sponsorship rules and sell cigarettes to third world countries, eh?

A bit more background: https://sponsorship.sportbusiness.com/news/mclaren...

So while PMI were pretending to be working to better the human race under Mission Winnow ("Mission Winnow has a simple goal: drive change by constantly searching for better ways of doing things."), at least BAT are slightly more honest - “It gives us a truly global platform with which to drive greater resonance of our potentially reduced risk products, including our Vype, Vuse and glo brands.”

...so promoting vaping instead.

Mission Winnow was still on the Ducati MotoGP bikes this weekend.
Saw that & thought "that's a bit odd" - I mean, they're red & Italian, but owned by VAG, who couldn't be further from Ferrari if they tried.

Still, plenty of airtime from Dovizioso.
