Planet Gore on National Review Online

...But things really got comical when Formula One rolled out two of its multi-millionaire stars, Lewis Hamilton of England and Felipe Massa of Brazil, for a press conference to explain how they contribute to “greener motoring.” The two drivers looked uncomfortable and stage-managed and for good reason: They both jet-set from race to race aboard their own private jets.

Massa explained with little conviction how he always checks the tire pressure on his car. Then Hamilton claimed that he tries to take public transport as much as possible.

That was too much for the assembled scribes, who needled Hamilton, asking: “The bus service in Geneva is pretty good is it, Lewis?” (Hamilton lives in Geneva for tax reasons). He was then asked — to more guffaws — if he used the bus in London. “No way,” admitted one of the planet’s most recognizable sports superstars (if you live outside the U.S. anyway). “It would be a disaster. I’d have to have a moustache and a hoodie.”

Next presidential debate, I say ditch Bob Schieffer and hire a British automotive journalist.
