Default Williams F1 sponsored by UK taxpayer
In case you missed it, RBS is down 67% today in London trading. They are forecasting a loss of $41bn (biggest in UK history) and the UK gov't now owns 70% of the bank.

But who cares? Today Williams also introduced their 09 car....with RBS proudly displayed.

Now your tax money goes to banks that sponsor NASCRAP instead of F1.
