Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto spoke of the importance of retaining their partnership with Philip Morris International.

The association had looked in doubt during recent times, with Ferrari dropping the ‘Mission Winnow’ branding from their cars, title and sponsors list ahead of the 2022 season.

‘Mission Winnow’ is PMI’s initiative that served as the next evolution of their relationship with Ferrari, after Formula 1’s regulations surrounding tobacco advertising had brought an end to the long-standing Marlboro branding.

Binotto revealed though that the Ferrari-PMI partnership continues as Mission Winnow has returned as an official team partner under new terms.

“It’s important to know that it has been a long partnership with Philip Morris, and we are very proud of it, and very happy that it’s still lasting,” Binotto told Motorsport.com.

“That was the intention of the two parties, because after so many years, it was important to stay together.

“Yes, it has changed a bit in the way the partnership is set up, without going into too many details.

“But in the end, it’s more important to make sure that it was continued.”

Ferrari has made a very strong start to the 2022 season, taking full advantage of the regulatory shake-up to claim two victories in the opening four races, courtesy of Charles Leclerc.
