Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
Jenson, what is your impression of the public response to Honda’s environmental message?
JB: I think it has been pretty good, as it should be. I think it is a fantastic idea and I fully back it.
(Mike Doodson) In that light, have any of you guys made any changes to your personal lives, as Jenson has done by getting himself a very expensive Honda hybrid car to travel from his yacht to his jet?
JB: If you actually checked, I haven’t actually got a yacht or a jet... Very funny!
HK: My car is a Renault and it is environmentally sound.
LH: In terms of car, I haven’t changed my car but I think it is fuel-efficient. I am quite concerned about the environment and we all need to notice this and take action. Whatever that is, I am not really sure, but once we know we all need to put our hands together.
JB: I think it perfectly puts forward the reason behind it – awareness. As you can see, I don’t think a lot of people are aware of the big issues. I think it is a great idea. We get through to hundreds of millions of people and I wasn’t aware of the issues six months ago and now I am and I have changed my life in little ways. It might not be big ways, but it makes a difference, if we are capable of making these changes, which I think we are.
MW: Yeah…
Changed your life?
MW: Less baked beans… (laughter). … You know it is important. It is the way the world is going. We all know that. I think the big countries – China, India, the places with the really massive populations and the big cities where there is a mass of population…. Not just a few cars here and there… It is how they run these places that is a pretty big deal as well. I like the outdoors. I like being out there and hopefully in 100 or 200 years guys like myself who like going outside can still do it.
Kimi, any changes in your life?
KR: No.
