Not everyone enjoys a free MINI... 

You might have read over on Motoringfile, BMW/William gave the Ferrari F1 Team a MINI Cooper S, in honor of them winning the F1 Championship.

Well, Ferrari wasn't amused.
Ferrari was unimpressed when F1 carmaker rival BMW presented a yellow 'Mini Cooper' to the champion team at Monza.

The keys to the BMW-built car, with a Ferrari logo painted on the roof, were handed to Luca di Montezemolo by Burkhard Goeschel.

Ferrari president, Montezemolo, was later heard to suggest that the gesture had been 'rude' and just a 'cheeky' marketing ploy.

From Home of F1.
