Foster's to sponsor Imola

The Foster's brewing company has stepped in to take the title sponsorship for the San Marino Grand Prix, beginning in 2003. Foster's is already the sponsor of the Australian GP and of the British GP.

The company has enjoyed a long association with F1, starting out in 1986 and today has trackside signage at 12 events and has exclusive "pouring rights" at most of the races throughout the year.

The company is keen to build up its market in Italy.
