Fraid so… especially when you remember near neighbour to Australia, NZ, was smashed with an Earthquake too recently.

Although a tragedy, the Christchurch earthquake isn’t even remotely comparable to the Japan disaster. There were nearly 100x as many fatalaties, a nuclear mess and dozens of settlements completely wiped off the map.

I’m glad that minute happened. Good to show that a sport as self-centric as F1 can look outwards.

To say it was a PR exercise is pathetic…F1 is massive in japan, I say so with experience I lived there for years and my wife is japanese.
The stickers didn’t say “donate to japan” they said pray for japan, no doubt a number of those japanese who lost their lives/homes/familys would have been F1 fans.

Hearts out to N.Z. too, with no offence but in comparison the japanese quake was significantly worse..

With F1′s global audience of millions, its a great way to display humanitarian compassion.
