    To be fair, similar things could be said of other F1 sponsors.

    Very true Arrows, but RBS don't sponsor Ferrari so are let off the hook in the minds of some. Pathetic though it is.

    Here, here. The Govt and the taxpayer has enough to deal with at the minute without bailing out companies who apparently still have enough cash sloshing around to enter F1 sponsorship.

    I can only assume you don't know about the Jag /Land Rover fiasco going on.

    Labour Govt lets LR and Jag go.

    Tata eventually buy this white elephant.

    British government give money to Tata.

    British taxpayer takes it up the ter as per normal.

    Although the latest update is that Tata will be putting some extra money in. Which seems only fair. Is Ratan Tata the only motor industry mogul to be named after a drumbeat?
