Formula One Stars Line Up For Make Roads SafeFormula One’s racing drivers have added their names to the Make Roads Safe campaign.  The FIA and all the Formula One drivers also demonstrated their support for the campaign, as well as the first United Nations Global Road Safety Week, due to take place in April 2007, by displaying a campaign message in the official FIA 2007 season photo before the Australian Grand Prix. Formula One tyre supplier Bridgestone will be promoting the campaign at every race during the 2007 season. World Champion Fernando Alonso said: “We all know how important safety is and how many people are killed on the roads, so it is very important to support this campaign. If all the fans can go to www.makeroadssafe.org and sign there it will be a help”. Max Mosley, President of the FIA, said: “The FIA is giving strong support to the Make Roads Safe campaign. The safety lessons learned from Formula One have already helped to make our roads safer through crashworthiness programmes such as Euro NCAP. Now we can use the global platform that Formula One provides to give support to this important effort to improve road safety in some of the poorest countries of the world.” |
