This is slightly off-topic!

Here in the UK we have about 8 cableTV channels that show nothing but pop music videos (MTV is probably the most famous), and whilst surfing through them this morning I came across what I at first thought was Frankenheimer's Grand Prix movie.

It turned out to be the last 30 seconds or so of a new pop video by British popster Robbie Williams. It featured lots of colour footage from the late 1960's / early 1970's of F1 racing, and several scenes of "Bob" Williams and Jackie Stewart together (done with Forrest Gump style special effects). I also noticed Henri Pescarolo, Jean-Pierre Beltoise and other drivers too.

I'm assuming that Stewart gave his okay for his image to be used in this video, because at the end it mentions that he went on to win 27 GP's.

Look out for it, I think that viewers of the Nostalgia Forum will be very interested.
