Report: Ferrari eyes 'healthy cigarette' sponsor
Dec.11 - Ferrari could be about to announce a 'new' major sponsor for 2018.
Recently, the Spanish bank Santander announced that it is leaving Ferrari and F1.
The Spanish newspaper ABC now reports that the signage on the rear wing could be replaced for 2018 with a brand called IQOS.
According to 'invisible' Ferrari sponsor Philip Morris, Iqos is a high-tech technology device that heats rather than burns tobacco, releasing a 'nicotine-containing vapour' for the user.
"Ferrari is finalising the agreement with Iqos about replacing the agreement with Santander," ABC claimed.
It is not clear if Iqos would contravene F1's strict ban on tobacco advertising.

If the tobacco industry are allowed back in to F1 sponsor ship under any guise,I for one will never
watch it again. have been a F1 fan for 55 years having never missed a race either on tv or at the the European or uk events.I am already struggling with some of the proposed changes and the continuous interference with so called new regulations ie wide tyres ,narrow tyres and do not even get me started on assisted passing.
