Knowing Liberty (and Bernie before them) the way we do, do any of us doubt the the vintners pay heavily to be "the official bubbly of F1" & have their name & logo all over the podium?  ;)

It would be interesting to find out how that contract works around the middle eastern races that don't allow alcohol and substitute sparkling fruit juice.

Celebrating his win at the 1978 Canadian Grand Prix Gilles sprayed beer on the podium.
