BUDAPEST (Reuters) - French champagne, rather than sparkling wine, will again be sprayed on the Formula One podium after Carbon was announced as the sport's new official supplier at the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday.

In a fresh twist, the bottles presented to the top three drivers will have markers -- gold for the winner, silver for second and bronze for third.
