THE WORLD RIHANNA Having a ball

Singer – crowned woman of the year

by Glamour – felt ‘humiliation’ when a police photo of her face bruised

by R&B star Brown went public A F P , Los Angeles

P

op star Rihanna has broken her silence over her assault by former boyfriend Chris Brown, describing the “humiliation” she felt when a police photo of her battered face was leaked to the media.

In an interview in the December issue of Glamour magazine – which crowned the Barbadian singer its woman of the year for 2009 – Rihanna said she was shocked by the aftermath of the attack on the eve of this year’s Grammy Awards.

R&B star Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community labour in August after pleading guilty to charges stemming from his brutal latenight attack on Rihanna.

Rihanna told Glamour she now wants to act as an unofficial spokesperson for victims of domestic violence.

The 21-year-old “Umbrella” singer said she was dismayed that a photo taken by police showing her facial injuries ended up being leaked to the media. “It was humiliating;

that is not a photo you would show to anybody,” she said. “I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life.”

Rihanna said she was also unprepared for the media frenzy which followed the February incident.

“I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears,” she said.

“That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day.”

A court in China sentenced the “godmother” of an organised crime gang to 18 years in jail after a sensational trial which gripped the nation with lurid tales of sex and corruption.

The ruling by a municipal court in Chongqing was the latest in a series of trials stemming from a huge crackdown on the underworld in the southwestern city of more than 30 million.

“Godmother” Xie Caiping, 46, allegedly ran 20 illegal gambling dens in hotels, nightclubs and tea houses, was involved in illegal drug activity, and bribed police to turn a blind eye to her crimes, earlier press reports said.

16 young men for sexual services Xie, who reportedly drove a Mercedes-Benz, owned several luxury villas and kept a stable of 16 young men to provide her with sexual services.

Xie is the sister-in-law of the former head of Chongqing’s judiciary, Wen Qiang, who is at the centre of the crackdown. She was also fined 1.02 million yuan (Bt5 million), said the verdict, posted on the court’s website.

The former vice director of a Chongqing public security precinct, Guo Sheng, and policeman Gan Yong were sentenced to 13 and 12 years in prison respectively for accepting bribes and offering Xie protection.

Xie’s brother-in-law Wen served as a top Chongqing police official for 16 years before taking over the city’s judiciary. He is the highest-ranking official ensnared in the crackdown that has led to the arrest of more than 1,500 suspects. Wen is accused of protecting an intricate web of businessmen, officials and mobsters. – A F P

Jim Carrey and other Hollywood stars switched on the Christmas lights in London as part of festivities that included an attempt to stage the world’s biggest carol sing-along.

Carrey turned on the lights along Oxford Street while Colin Firth performed the honours at Regent Street, two of London’s main shopping strips.

British actor Bob Hoskins did the honours at St Paul’s Cathedral.

Said Carrey: “It feels great to be a part of all this tradition.”

After the lights were flicked on, tenor Andrea Bocelli at Leicester Square and the St Paul’s Cathedral choir on the steps of the historic church led crowds in an attempt to stage the world’s biggest carol singing event.

Man sent to prison for laser attack A California man who aimed a handheld laser at two passenger jets arriving at John Wayne Airport south of Los Angeles has been jailed for two-anda-half years.

A pilot of the United flight was struck in the eye by Welch’s green laser beam and suffered “flash blindness”.

One of the pilots of the Alaska Airlines plane was forced to duck under a glare shield after the beam was shone into the cockpit. – AFP

BIRDS OF A FEATHER A young filmmaker explains why she’s chosen to bring the problems of the disabled to the fore in her first feature

t first glance, “Jao Nok Krajok” (“Mundane History”), the first feature film from young director Anocha “Mai” Suwichakornpong, would appear to be a family drama, the story of the relationship between a father and his disabled son, the victim of an accident that has left him paralysed from the waist down.

A loosely experimental film with a timeline that jumps back and forth, the story also involves a male nurse hired to take care of the young man and attend to his daily needs.

Family tensions are addressed, but so too are social issues, class, history and even the universe. Anocha says the idea for breaking up the structure of the storyline developed when she started editing the footage with pal and collaborator Lee Chatametikool.

“It’s a non-linear way of story telling. We don’t start from one and go up to 10 but tell the story the way we want,” says the 33-year-old Mai, whose 2006 thesis film “Graceland”, made while she was still at Columbia University, was the first Thai short to be selected for the Cinéfondation programme at the Cannes Film Festival.

“I try to portray it in a realistic way and not dramatise it,” she stresses. “It should be discussed because it’s a real-life issue.”

But Anocha knows that many disabled people are still kept hidden away from larger Thai society, unlike in the West where they lead an open life and are able to get around easi-

“They are like nok krajok [sparrows], a common bird found everywhere in Thailand.

We catch these birds then release them to make merit, yet we think of them as insignificant even though they are everywhere. That’s why I chose this name for the film.”

“Mundane History” premiered last month at the Pusan film festival. It will screen next year at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, and there will hopefully be a limited release in Thai cinemas.

Hip-hop promoter Future Fusion Entertainment is off to a flying start DANCE MANIA by Timez topped three other teams last Friday to win Best Dance Crew, Thailand’s first international dancing competition.

Awarding the points were judges Clifford McGhee and Marquita Washington, who are dancers with American pop and R&B singer Ne Yo. Dance Mania and the other teams – B-Savages, NProject and Dance 2 Da Hop – interpreted Ne Yo’s song “Miss Independent”.

McGhee hailed the champs as “very good and so clean”.

They received Bt50,000, but one of the team’s five members insisted, “We dance for happiness, not for reward.”

“It is unbelievable to see Thais so proficient at dancing,” said Anuphum Khanijoun, a senior partner at Future Fusion Entertainment, which sponsored the competition as its first effort in making Bangkok a hub for international hiphop concerts and other events.

Future Fusion expects to have Ne Yo as its first foreign artist at a concert in January.

“I think Thailand needs many more concert promoters bringing something new to Thailand,” said Anuphum.

n the 50 years since the first butoh performance premiered in Japan, the art form characterised by white body makeup and muscularly meditative motions has spread around the world, including Bangkok, where the fifth International Butoh Festival will be held next month.

Performances and workshops will be at Democrazy Theatre while a photo exhibition and the closing ceremony will be at the Pridi Banomyong Institute on Thonglor.

The fest opens with a performance by Spain’s Rocio Fernandez, Japan’s Keiko Yamaghuchi, Nyoba Kan of Malaysia and the Butoh Co-Op Thailand on December 12 and 13 at 7.30. On

December 19 and 20 at 7.30, Joao Roberto de Souza from Brazil, Thailand’s B-Floor Company and Michael Sakamoto from the US will perform.

Workshops get under way on December 11 at 6 with de Souza’s “The Body in Time and Space”.

American-Japanese Sakamoto explains the concepts of Zen in “Mind/Body/Time” on December 12 from 11 to 2. On December 13 at 1, Yamaghuchi introduce the main element in dancing butoh through different exercises in “Moved Beings”.

The final workshop on December 14 at 6 will focus on “Body Manipulation”, with Terry Hatfield focusing on channelling energy through qi gong and shiatsu massage.

The crew and his studio, M Pictures, are being very understanding and, anyway, the hold-up has been a double blessing in disguise.

More than 1,000 fans are “following” the film’s Facebook page – that suspense will pay off at the box office – and leading man Guy Lamphun (son of Marsha Watanapanich and Umpon) is canoodling with his co-star, Rujiparb “May” Korkiatparb.

Yankee ingenuity Individual ideas about liberty go on show in Baltimore

Adam Morales’ ‘Star Spangled Banner’,

fashioned from scraps of painted driftwood, is as good an emblem as any of the theme in the show.

By Michael O'Sullivan THE WASHINGTON POST

L

ife, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” covers a lot of ground.

Among the rights-themed subjects touched on by the American Visionary Art Museum’s timely new megaexhibition are the following: Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib; gay rights; immigration; Afghanistan and Iraq; freedom of speech; racial and religious prejudice; economic inequity; and the US penal system. It’s as if it was curated by a lawyer from the ACLU.

Practically the only thing missing? Health-care reform.

That’s because the debate over whether universal medical coverage is a fundamental human right — or yet another example of intrusive Big Government — is too recent to have been digested into art yet. Michael Moore aside, the country needs time to process, according to Roger Manley, the show’s actual curator, who recently returned to the US from France.

To the extent that the show expresses an opinion, it’s this: Let your freak flag fly.

LAT-WP

Duncan Laurie’s ‘Purr Generator’, part of the exhibit ‘Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness’ at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore.

Adam Morales’ “Star Spangled Banner” will do.

Fashioned from scraps of painted driftwood, the tattered facsimile of Old Glory that flies over the folk artist’s “Statue of Liberty” on the museum’s second floor is as good an emblem as any of the show’s central theme of E pluribus unum. Manley puts it this way: “We tend to forget that it’s individuals that make this country what it is, not classes of people.”

In that regard, “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” is less about specific civil rights than it is about a more generalised ex-

hortation to follow your bliss.

To be sure, there are works that cite famous rights cases.

Take “Scottsboro Boys”, by the late Dick Lubinsky, an artist from the Bronx. The 1963 mixed-media work on paper depicts the defendants in a landmark 1931 case in which nine black men were accused of rape. It ultimately went to the Supreme Court, leading to the decision that all defendants are entitled to effective counsel and that juries may not be selected based on race.

Renaldo Kuhler’s art is more typical. A scientific il-

lustrator by profession, Kuhler invented a mythological country called Rocaterrania when he was a teenager, living with his authoritarian German-immigrant parents in remote Colorado. His contribution to “Life” consists of several pictures documenting the inhabitants, history and culture of this non-existent — albeit meticulously documented — world.

And what do they have to do with human rights?

Superficially, not much.

Except perhaps as an expression of our inalienable right to escape into a fantasy. On closer consideration, there’s a bit more going on. Rocaterrania, it seems, began as a fascist monarchy. Over time, however, as the artist outgrew his feelings of isolation and constraint, the imaginary land (located somewhere between Upstate New York and Canada) has evolved into a democracy.

No government, it seems, can guarantee happiness.

Only the right to chase — or, in some cases, invent — it.

surgery alters the secretion of hormones that affect appetite and help process sugar.

As much as 86 per cent of obese people with Type 2 diabetes find their diabetes is gone or much easier to control within days of the surgery, according to 19 studies published earlier this year in the American Journal of Medicine.

But experts still aren’t sure why obesity surgery has this effect or how long it might last.

This much is clear: Patients who have weight-loss surgery begin to lose weight rapidly, which by itself improves Type 2 diabetes, allowing diabetics to more easily control their blood glucose levels.

But something else appears to be occurring as well.

There is strong evidence that surgery causes chemical changes in the intestine, says Dr Jonathan Purnell of Oregon Health & Science University. The small intestine is where digestion occurs, but researchers now suspect it has other functions related to metabolism.

Surgery somehow alters the secretion of hormones in the gut that play a role in appetite and help process sugar normally.

By Eugenia Last

Today’s Birthday: You can make some very crucial changes personally, financially and emotionally. You can settle old debts and end old conditions that don’t work for you any more. Accepting change will be half the battle. Look ahead, moving forward with your dreams, hopes and wishes for the future.

TAURUS *** April 20-May 20 Don’t lose hope. An opportunity you’ve been waiting for will take a new and exciting direction. You can meet your goals. Negotiate and set your standard high. You’ll meet your mark.

CANCER *** June 21-July 22 Keep things to yourself for now. If you share your thoughts before you have things signed, sealed and delivered you may have trouble completing what you set out to do.

SCORPIO *** Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Promises will be broken and tempers hot if you don’t have your facts and figures straight right from the beginning. It’s time to clear up loose ends and move past some of the deadweight.

SAGITTARIUS *** Nov. 22-Dec. 21 Partnerships, personal relationships and getting down to the bottom of things will all take place if you show your determination and willingness to meet someone you care about halfway.

‘China will become golf powerhouse’

The Dallas Mavericks were looking for a late spark, and Dirk Nowitzki caught fire.

Nowitzki erupted for a franchise record 29 of his 40 points in the decisive fourth quarter, and the Mavericks overcame a 16-point deficit to drop the visiting Utah Jazz, 96-85. – DPA

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have both tipped China to become a golfing powerhouse, saying it was only a matter of time with the game’s popularity exploding.

The development of golf in China has been nothing short of amazing. The country only opened its first course – the Chung Shan Hot Springs Golf Club some 80 kilometres across the Pearl River Estuary from Hong Kong – in 1984.

Twenty-five years later and, by some estimates, it now has around 500 courses and the world’s top players see huge growth to come. Woods said that Chinese sportsmen had excelled at most sports that had government backing, and once that came for golf there would be no limits. “It will be interesting to see what happens if they make a push towards that,”– AFP

NO REAL REVENGE Madrid draw with Milan to edge closer to knockout round AFP, Milan, Italy

A

C Milan and Real Madrid took a small step towards qualification for the Champions League knock-out rounds following a 1-1 draw at the San Siro on Tuesday.

Ronaldinho’s conversion of a dubiously-awarded penalty cancelled out Karim Benzema’s opener for the visitors as the stalemate left both teams a point clear of Marseille, who thrashed FC Zurich 6-1, at the top of Group C. There was no revenge for Madrid for their 3-2 defeat to the Italians at the Bernabeu two weeks ago but they were the better side, particularly before the break.

It was all Real at the start of the first half as the visitors dominated, much like they did in the early stages of the home match, leaving coach Manuel Pellegrini believing they should have won.

“I don’t talk about the referee’s decisions, we played well in the first half and showed the right attitude,” he said, declining to talk about the penalty.

“We had 16 shots [in the first half] and only one Milan player, [Alexandre] Pato, made life difficult for us. We were in control.

“The second half was more difficult in terms of possession but we did all right and at the end we had two chances that could have brought us the three points we deserved.”

Milan’s Brazilian coach Leonardo said a draw was probably the right result. “If we look only at the first half, Real played very well, they had many chances but in the second I was a bit disappointed because we deserved to win,” he said.

“We had good possession, we created many chances and we had the possibilty to win.

“Honestly I think yes, they had many chances in the first and it was more difficult for us, we didn’t cover the pitch well but in the second half we had many more chances, even [substitute Filippo] Inzaghi had a good chance.

“It was very even, in the first half they had chances but they weren’t clear-cut chances so think it was very even.”

On six minutes a deflected Benzema shot was tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Dida

while Sergio Ramos fired just wide in the 13th minute.

Just after that Gonzalo Higuain made space for himself on the edge of the box but curled his effort over before Benzema held off Alessandro Nesta in the area after latching onto Marcelo’s pass in the 20th minute but fired wide of the far post.

Milan finally came to life in the 24th minute with a quick break as Clarence Seedorf fed Alexandre Pato, who cut inside Alvaro Arbeloa but Iker Casillas came out and spread himself well to block the Brazilian’s shot.

Real deservedly went in front in the 29th minute as former Milan star Kaka beat Seedorf on the edge of the area and fired in a fierce daisy-cutter that was too hot for Dida to handle, allowing Benzema to fire the rebound into the far corner for his first goal in seven matches.

But 10 minutes from the break Ronaldinho equalised from the spot after Pepe was harshly penalised for handball when he slid in rashly to block Zambrotta’s cross, the ball hitting his arm from barely a yard away.

ight teams, including two from The Netherlands, booked berths in the 32-team main draw of the US$190,000 Phuket Thailand Open at Karon Beach yesterday.

A total of 40 teams from 24 countries including Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, the USA, Japan, China and Thailand tested their mettle in the knock-out round yesterday.

The hosts had mixed fortunes in the first round with Aunchalee Yunsuwan and Orradee Phupanee crashing out but the young pairing of Kijja Khantharak and Ariya Laoseangsa advancing with a scintillating 21-7 21-8 victory over the taller Marina Pilpenko and Samalikova Bakhtygul from Kazakhstan.

However, the Thai youngsters lost the plot completely in the second round, going down tamely to the much stronger Dutch duo of Danielle Remmers and Sophie van Gestel 21-9 21-8 – which meant that only three Thai pairs could make it to today’s money round.

They comprise Jarunee Sannok/Usa Tenpaksee, Kamoltip Kulna/Yupa Phukrongploy and Julaluk Radanong/Maneerat Udomchavee.

The first two pairings came joint 13th last year.

The eight teams advancing to today’s main draw are the Netherlands’ Danielle Remmers/Sphie van Gestel and Madelein Meppelink/Marloes Wesselink, Great Britain’s Zara Dampney/Shauna Mullin, Anastasia Vasina/Ekaterina Khomyak-ova of Russia and Galyna Osheyko/Svilana Baburina of the Ukraine. Also advancing as expected are Spain’s Liliana Fernandez Steiner/Elsa Baquerizo, Marketa, Czech pair Slukova/Kristyna Kolocova , and France’s Eva Hamzaoui/ MathideGiordano.

GIANTS GET BIG SCARE Chelsea and United come from behind to clinch qualification

Real Madrid’s Kaka salutes the San Siro crowd.

Kaka makes emotional return to Milan

AFP, Paris

nglish giants Chelsea and Manchester United made hard work of it but ended up coming from behind to both qualify for the Champions League knockout stages on Tuesday.

French champions Bordeaux joined them as they earned an impressive 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in Munich, while Porto can also look forward to Champions League football in the spring after winning 1-0 at APOEL Nicosia.

However, things look stark for Bayern Munich and their Champions League-winning coach Louis van Gaal as his side trail second-placed Juventus by four points in Group A with two matches remaining.

Chelsea came from 1-0 down to draw 2-2 with Atletico Madrid – Didier Drogba scoring both goals on his return from a three-match Champions League suspension.

“It was a good game but frustrating because we didn’t win it,” said Drogba.

“I have played many Champions League games with Chelsea in the past and to be honest I am just happy to be back on the pitch.

“We have qualified which is great although it would have been nice to do it with a win.”

United had to come from even further behind as they trailed 3-1 late into the match against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford before two goals levelled matters and pushed them through.

Manchester United’ s Luis Antonio Valencia scores past CSKA Moscow’s Elvir Rahimic.

United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was relieved to have progressed but was left less than happy by the referee’s performance, especially over a penalty that was not awarded for a trip on Darren Fletcher – the Scottish midfielder being booked instead. “I can’t believe the decision. Its one of the worst I have seen in my lifetime,” fumed the irascible Scot.

Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc was immensely proud of his team’s achievement.

“All in all, I am very satisfied,” said Blanc, who is fast building a reputation as one of the best young coaches in European football.

Kaka was not at his best in the Group C match that finished 1-1 but he did make a decisive contribution, firing in the shot in the 29th minute that Dida couldn’t hold, allowing Karim Benzema to give the Spaniards the lead.

Several banners around the San Siro expressed the Milan faithful’s affection for their former player while he was afforded standing ovations before and after the game.

“It was an emotional night, I tried to control my emotions and play the match,” he said. “[The reception] was great, as I expected it to be. I was offered a warm welcome.

I had some great moments here and I want to thank the fans.”

Kaka also had kind words for his former team-mates.

“Milan’s group is very strong, they have to play many games and aren’t managing to develop any consistency.

“But in the Champions League in the big games, they always turn up.”

Bordeaux midfielders Alou Diarra, left, and Yoann Gourcuff celebrate with supporters.

ayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal admitted his side were simply not good enough after they were effectively knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday after suffering a 2-0 defeat at home to Bordeaux.

This was Bayern’s first home European defeat in five years as Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh took advantage of a

mistake in the home side’s defence to score a late goal after midfielder Yoann Gourcuff netted a first-half header.

“In such an important game, it is always important to score a goal, which we didn’t do,” said van Gaal. “We had no luck and we were not awarded a clear penalty after Bordeaux had a hand-ball.

“These are the small things which can turn a game.

“We just weren’t good enough.

“That wasn’t our best game, but we are not out yet and we still have another small chance.”

But with two games left – at Juventus and home to Maccabi Haifa – in the group stages, Bayern now need a miracle to qualify as the defeat leaves them third in the table six points behind leaders

Bordeaux and four behind Juventus.

Bayern captain Mark van Bommel admitted he was at fault when Gourcuff was left unmarked to score a simple header just before half-time.

“I should have been there for the first goal – it was my fault – then we weren’t given a clear penalty and [striker] Luca Toni missed two chances to score,” admitted van Bommel.

SHANGHAI COLLISION

iger Woods and Phil Mickelson sat across from each other in a mock game of Chinese checkers against the spectacular backdrop of Shanghai’s trendy Bund district. Later, they posed with the HSBC Champions trophy.

The world’s best two players have been taking part in plenty of photo opportunities together lately.

Only six weeks ago in Atlanta, they shared the spotlight at the Tour Championship when Mickelson won the tournament by three shots over Woods, and Woods hoisted the FedEx Cup trophy.

Then came a trophy they shared at the Presidents Cup, where both produced unbeaten records in San Francisco.

Halfway around the world, they are going at it again.

Seve drafts in Kaymer European captain Seve Ballesteros has further strengthened his already powerful Royal Trophy team by drafting in Europe’s most promising young player, Martin Kaymer.

The German star, who has rocketed to eleventh place in the world rankings, joins world No 7 Henrik Stenson and 2008 European No 1 Robert Karlsson in the line-up for the fourth edition, taking place at the Amata Spring Country Club from January 8-10.

Kaymer, 24, is seen as a natural successor to two-time US Masters champion Bernhard Langer as Germany’s flag-bearer.

After an illustrious amateur career, Kaymer was crowned the European Tour’s rookie of the year in 2007 and charged into the top 10 of the European Order of Merit the following year.

Despite a 78-man field from 23 countries at this World Golf Championship – the strongest field ever assembled in Asia – Woods and Mickelson remain the top attraction.

“I’m excited that Tiger and I are able to compete in the same event here in China,” Mickelson said yesterday on the eve of the HSBC Champions at Sheshan International Golf Club. “I think that it will provide some exposure to the game of golf throughout the country, and I’m hopeful that we compete head-to-head over the weekend, and are both in contention.”

The HSBC Champions might be the appropriate way to celebrate a phenomenal year for golf in Asia. “I’m looking forward to it. I think everyone is,” Woods said.

Woods is no stranger to playing overseas, having played at least one international tournament every year since his pro debut in 1996.

But while that familiar spinning globe – the World Golf Championship logo – is now found on the bright red signs around the course, there is no denying this tour-

nament has a different feel.

HSBC has expanded its promotional effort to the point that it had sand in the bunkers on the practice range painted red, its corporate colour.

It also had pictures of Woods, Mickelson, Harrington, Geoff Ogilvy and Paul Casey painted on elevator doors at the official hotel.

One Chinese boy no more than 10 was so excited to see Woods that he raced under the ropes with a camera draped around his neck to get a clear shot, only for a security guard to gently scoop him up and put him back in the gallery.

TOYOTA CRASHES OUT

Tadashi Yamashina, team principal of the Toyota F1 Racing, cries during a press conference.

Formula One was left reeling yesterday as Toyota became the latest carmaker to quit the glamour sport in response to the economic crisis, just days after tyre manufacturer Bridgestone pulled out.

Toyota said its decision to quit after this year’s season, which ended on Sunday in Abu Dhabi, reflected “the current severe economic realities”.

Honda and Germany’s BMW have already exited F1 to cope with the credit crunch. Toyota’s withdrawal leaves no Japanese carmaker left in the high-octane motorsport, raising fresh fears for its future. The company said no decision had been made on whether to sell or disband the team, which has not won a Grand Prix since its 2002 debut on the F1 circuit and finished this season ranked fifth in the constructors championship.

“It was a tough decision because we are betraying the expectations of fans,” Akio Toyoda, a racing enthusiast and grandson of the carmaker’s founder, told a news conference.

“I apologise to our fans from the bottom of my heart. I made the decision myself.”

He ruled out supplying engines to other teams, saying: “In terms of Formula One, we will make a complete withdrawal.”

Toyota is ready to ask rival teams to accept its F1 racers Kazuki Nakajima and Kamui Kobayashi, said team principal Tadashi Yamashina.

“If possible, I will let Nakajima and Kobayashi race in other teams as the two have reached such high levels,” Yamashina said, wiping tears from his eyes with a handkerchief while sitting next to a sullen Toyoda.

While F1 attracts millions of viewers, the amount of money it costs to run a team – estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars a year – means it has become an unaffordable luxury for cash-strapped Japanese manufacturers.

The sport has lurched from crisis to crisis in recent years, including financial troubles, a Renault race-fixing scandal and a threat by a clutch of teams earlier this year to form a breakaway series over a proposed budget cap.

Facing a collapse in worldwide car sales, Toyota had already pulled out of hosting the Japanese Grand Prix at its Fuji Speedway circuit from next year. “There was a big debate in our company on whether we should continue F1 or not,” said Toyoda.

“We have done what we can and the team worked very hard. But considering the future, we had to make this decision.”
