hmmm? Wonders if it was a tad to early to stage the event or if Vettel would have drawn a bigger crowd?

It wasn't publicised, so the aim of the event wasn't to draw crowds. You'd have a hard job getting permission for a publicised event of this nature in central London on a weekday - even at 6am!

So Eddie Jordan pulled it off how? I think the year was 2004 and for Nigel the streets were adorned for him. Though I must confess I heard Piccadilly Circus was a busier place than Parliment Square.

If you are talking about the event that involved several teams and was publicised and organised by the FIA I think that you are comparing chalk and cheese. One was to give people an opportunity to get close to F1 cars in the centre of London - which I did attend and nobody was adorning the streets for Nigel - they wanted to see the more contemporary drivers! The event this morning was purely a photo opportunity for Red Bull.

Me is bad you are right. This photo op was like Mark driving across the Sydney Harbour Bridge for Williams.

Terrible in-lap, the pit stop was laboriously slow and his get-away reminded me of the 7:15 to Circular Quay departing!
No wonder he's losing championship spots every week!
