Watch out Bernie!

Bernie Ecclestone is going to get a lot of mail in the next few days. A Canadian marketing company has printed 108,000 postcards pre-addressed to the Formula 1 boss with a photograph of a lit cigarette and the words "25 years of loyalty gone up in smoke" in two languages. The postcards accuse the Formula 1 industry of being addicted to tobacco. The cards are expected to be sold in Montreal.

It is not clear how the Canadians think this will improve the current situation but obviously somebody somewhere is going to feel better for having done it and somebody thinks that they are going to make a few dollars...
