" There have been all sorts of reactions to the
publicity stunt by Greenpeace at the Belgian Grand Prix.First of all top marks
to who ever came up with the idea. If you protest-peacefully - you should
do it where you get the maximum publicity. It is a tribute to the
popularity of Grand Prix racing that Greenpeace should have chosen one of
the most prestigious of all races-the one at Spa. They made their point
without hurting anyone. Whether Shell should or shouldn't drill in
the Arctic is not for me to decide, this protest simply highlighted the need
once more to have serious discussions on a subject relevant to all
of us.
As for the race, well, there wasn't any. It isn't
Vettel's fault that on circuits with long sweeping corners the Red Bull has no
rivals, as Fernando Alonso said the other day he is not just fighting
Vettel but Adrien Newey as well. Interestingly enough Jenson Button reckons
that Ferrari will take the fight to Red Bull as some circuits such as Monza
will suit the home team. I hope so as right now it looks like a one horse race.
A number of people have asked me about my forthcoming book,
all I can say is that we've had to increase the number of pages from 160 to 176
as there were simply too many stories that would have been left out.Halle
Berry? A Rolls Royce to replace a sheepdog? A bob sledding Prince? A McLaren at
the Top Gear Test track? And of course lots and lots of Ferraris. It may sound
like a sales pitch but 499 copies all told won't go very far bearing in mind
that FORZA alone has several thousand subscribers.
