According to a story in Britain’s Daily Telegraph Formula 1’s McLaren may miss out on a $50 million sponsorship deal because computer chip maker Intel is reportedly furious with the FIA. The newspaper suggested that even Toyota could lose its small existing deal because the governing body is now too closely tied with Intel rival AMD.
A Monza announcement of the 2006 McLaren deal was apparently delayed after Max Mosley appeared in the Friday press conference with the FIA’s new “technology advisor”, AMD’s Henri Richard.
AMD and Intel are locked in a legal dispute regarding alleged anti-competitive behaviour.
