Security goes bananas

After the attack on Toyota personnel on Friday evening security in Sao Paulo was beefed up by the locals, embarrassed by the attack and reports of it in newspapers around the world. Come Sunday, however, this new awareness got a little out of control when Flavio Briatore arrived at the track with a bodyguard. When he tried to get into the circuit he was stopped by a guard and the result was that the two guards ended up in a fist fight with a bemused Briatore standing by, wondering what is going on in the world.
