A big success in London

The Formula 1 comes to Regent Street event in London was a huge success with newspapers and TV stations estimating the crowd to have been in the region of 500,000 people, standing many deep on the pavements or watching from windows and rooftops. The event featured the top F1 teams each running a car up and down a circuit on Regent Street with British stars Jenson Button, David Coulthard, Martin Brundle and Nigel Mansell all making appearances along with Ferrari's Luca Badoer, Juan Pablo Montoya, Toyota's Cristiano da Matta and Zsolt Baumgartner. Various team bosses were in attendance and the event was judged to have been a great success.
