I think a lot of the UK 'top' guys have been very honourable in their conduct when changing sponsors, I think this is for a few reasons
Mostly, they are the 'top' sponsored guys for a reason, and that reason is not just their driving skills, its the way they conduct theirselves in the public eye as a representative of the products that they race.
Secondly, I think the companies that sponsor people are genuinely very good to their drivers. and most of the reasons for change are personal and as Tom said, just to try something new.
I think these kind of things should be looked at very closely by people that are looking to become supported/sponsored as very good examples of how to conduct theirselves.
Good Luck with the new venture Yard!
