Sounds too good to be true, but the claim I heard was that Athelitics are more damaging to the environment than F1!

yeah sounds like marketing BULL***T to me. Do they really plant enough trees for the thousands of developement laps that the cars do each season, for the hundreds of helicopters that fly in and out during F1 week, for the fuel used to transport the cars, trailers, motorhomes, personel and spares around the world every two weeks......????

Funny, havent seen signs of a new rain forest springing up in Mexico on Google earth just recently.....

Many companies make big claims about saving the planet. Funny how its not evident.
