Williams gives best sponsor value
Formula Money spills the beans

Sep.2 (GMM) Ferrari is the most lucratively sponsored formula one team, but its backers do not get the best value for money.

The new 2008-2009 edition of Formula Money, the business-focused publication, reveals that at $200m per year, world champions Ferrari receive more private sponsorship than any other team.

But Allianz, a Williams sponsor, reportedly receives more mentions in the print media per million dollars spent.

Dutch bank ING, however, paying about $65m for its title sponsorship of the Renault team, got the most press mentions regarding F1 - in 883 separate articles - overall in 2007.

The next most-mentioned F1 sponsors were Vodafone, Fiat, Shell and Williams' title backer AT&T, Formula Money said.
