in time..all of the tobacco comercials will be removed but, yes, i don't see a reason for someone to do it earlier just to set an example.
The first 8 cars in points rule is good...though it's a big change.
And the one car per race is for now. it'll be one car per 4 races and more in future seasons...bummer.

In media class last year, we learned about this, and the theory that is WIDELY accepted, by scientists in this material, is that (if I remember correctly, otherwhise I should ask the midget again) you can filter out any ad you want, and judging products without getting guided by the ads.
How come some people don't smoke? Because if Marlboro spends millions on it, you would expact everyone has seen the ads and started smoking their brand
Don't be a fool; the idea is not that everyone who sees an advert will therefore buy the product! That is a ridiculous extreme.
But no matter what science you bring to the discussion, the POINT is that the tobacco companies advertise for a purpose. Name recognition or otherwise it is part of a trend that encourages smoking. Smoking advertising in Europe is banned in many ways already, and sponsorship has been a loophole around this- a loophole may authorities, rather reasonably, want closed.
