However, prominent paddock figures have rubbished the complaints, arguing that the new deal brings a lot to the sport.

Red Bull racing team principal Christian Horner agreed, saying: "I think it's a positive thing. There are some great brands involved in Formula One now and hopefully we can put on a good show for them."
