one of my absolute favourite pieces of f1 lore is how Ferrari and Marlboro tried to get around the EU ban on tobacco advertising/sponsorship by creating a 'barcode' logo that resembled the original cigarette pack design when viewed with motion blur

Ugh. Was so looking forward to having some pink on the grid, but alas, more exposed carbon fibre. FIA, how about a new rule about the entire car needing to be covered in paint? We want colorful cars!
