Yesterday I left work early and headed off into town to try to watch the Formula 1 display along Regent Street. Yeah, some chance! By the time I got there at about 5:30 the crowds were a good 10-deep along most of the street, and even the large screen that was erected in Hanover Square was so crowded that there wasn't much to be seen. Apparently the organisers had expected something like 100,000 - 150,000 people to turn up -- according to police the figures were closer to half a million.
Still, there's been talk about trying to set up a full-on street circuit in London for future British Grands Prix which could be pretty interesting. Although this route looks like the most fantastic idea ever -- shame there's no chance of it becoming reality!
