Given the Credit Crunch, F1 has a shaky future. I would suggest that SMI 
sponsor/advertise in something more ecologically friendly and cheaper. I 
would suggest that the burgeoning area (certainly in the Far East) of 
snooker be seriously considered. There are thousands of Din Junhui's out 
there, and billions of avid watchers around the world.
