Alcohol and Tobacco-related Sponsors
In the North American and all European versions besides Great Britain the alcohol sponsors are censored, but in all versions the tobacco sponsors are censored also:
- On the Benetton cars, "Mild Seven" is replaced by "Benetton".
- On the McLaren cars, "Marlboro" is replaced by "McLaren".
- On the Williams cars, "Rothmans" is replaced by "Racing".
- In some versions, "Foster's" is replaced with a stylised barcode.
- In all versions, "Marlboro" is replaced by an image of an F1 car under the Marlboro logo (as in real life).
- In the North American PlayStation version of the game, at Monte Carlo coming out of the tunnel one of the "Marlboro" advertisements was left largely uncensored. It is missing an 'o'. It is noticeable if the player is in the view mode directly behind the car and slows down immediately coming out of the tunnel and looks up to the right of the screen. It is a very large banner that is the largest "Marlboro" banner at Monte Carlo. This is the only tobacco advertisement in the game that closely resembles its original form.
- In all versions of the opening, "Kremlyovskaya Vodka" is noticeable on the Jordan in the opening.
- In the English version of the game, the tobacco sponsors are not censored on the Car Select screen for some reason.

Famous quotes containing the word alcohol:
“Men can intoxicate themselves with ideas as effectually as with alcohol or with bang and produce, be dint of serious thinking, mental conditions hardly distinguishable from monomania.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
