Sponsorship in jeopardy?

Venezuelan Congressman, Carlos Ramos:

"As you may be aware, according to Venezuela's legislation, expenditure of the sort has to be approved by Congress. You may also be aware that our Congress has granted no approval to the sponsorship contract between Williams F1 and PDVSA."

If nothing else, it will at least free up another seat.
Wonder of this is anything to do with Adam Parr announcing a sponsorship deal that was effectively already in place!! Bizarrely he is already a Director of the business in question! (see J. Saward's blog for more on this, I can't be bothered to do a link.)

Is the team trying to create ANY positive Commercial spin before the poo hits the wind tunnel!!!
