If we want to save the planet we should;
stop buying tuna,
don't buy teak furniture from a warehouse,
use only rechargeable batteries,
recycle 99% of all packaging,
isolate our fuse boxes when we leave the house,
ride bicycles,
catch buses,
catch trains,
don't fly,
and it goes on and on.

F1 is making the Auto makers appear with halo's and that's a good thing, but the fact is we are all part of the problem.
If F1 fails then maybe we all should fail too, they became easy targets, but we should all come into question too.
F1 has been a marketing tool since Lotus first donned the gold and red livery of gold leaf tobacco. That genie won't go back into the bottle, but the whole thing certainly could be managed differently. If FOM wasn't so damned greedy, it wouldn't have to go to such lengths to justify its own existence.
