In days of old (in other words pre Photoshop) totalitarian states valued skilled artists who were able to manipulate photographs, airbrushing discredited officials out of history. With the exception of North Korea and a few celebrity magazines, tinkering with pictures is a forgotten art.

Step forward Stefan GP, the wannabe Serbian Formula One outfit. In January, its website featured a picture of its four key men. The picture is still there but has been digitally altered, with Mike Coughlan, the former Spygate star initially hired as chief designer, removed and Zoran Stefanovic shifted forward to fill the void. Stalin would be proud.
