I think F1 should pay attention only those dead who were taking part in F1.
Luciano Pavarotti wasn't remembered

And F1 had a gesture for the pope and 9/11, why not pav?
And the suggestion that he was not loved and that modern italians shun the traditional image... please.
Amazing.
F1 didn't do anything for the pope, only Ferrari did.

Anita Roddick died this week. Do you think that the drivers are all going to use Body Shop products in their race preparation as a mark of respect?
Schumacher did advertising for their parent company after all

It's a moot point really, there was a remembrance, it was an italian thing about a huge (no pun intended) italian figure during the italian gp; I didn't have a problem with the pope/ferrari thing and certainly not with 9/11; nor is there any comparison. I'm just amazed at the negativity. You people just don't like opera 
And of course, I wished F1 paid more attention when F1 figures pass away. But not exclusivelly, F1 is supposed to be all-encompassing, After all it's viewed by 600 thousand billion people, according to Bernie

At 11am Sunday, on the drivers' parade, they stopped the interviews on the truck and played on the PA system Pavarotti's Nessum Dorna. And when he gives that famous high note in the aria's climax, the whole crowd wailed. It was actually very emotional.
We were at the Prima Variante and the place went completely nuts after this! Very unexpected and one of the best atmospheric events of the weekend
