Ferrari drops Mission Winnow branding for Australian Grand Prix

Ferrari will race in Formula One's season-opening Australian Grand Prix next week without branding for Philip Morris's Mission Winnow initiative amid concern about tobacco advertising.

The team's official name has also changed from Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow to Scuderia Ferrari, according to an updated entry list published by the International Automobile Federation (FIA).

Italian media quoted Ferrari chief executive Louis Camilleri confirming the move at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday.
