Tobacco ads not welcome
Cars to run clear liveries in Italy

(GMM) A local Italian court has made it clear that tobacco advertising will not be permitted at the grand prix in Monza.

Judge Antonio Garzon said the recent European ban would force teams, like Maranello based Ferrari, to remove cigarette names and logos from their formula one racers.

''(It is not permitted) either on the cars or the official uniforms,'' Garzon added.

On track, an afternoon shower - but a warm 30 degrees - is expected at the 'Autodromo Nazionale' on Friday. A lovely Saturday and grand prix Sunday, however, are tipped.
