Too soon on the second banner; antenna-bending guy should have left the platform before it went up.

When is someone going to fly banners behind some of those drones?

@2 - "Belinda will you marry me? If not I will destroy your village"

Best thing I've seen all week.

Excellent!

Well played, Greenpeace.

Yes! :)

This is so much more effective, awesome, and un-shitty than ELF and their terrorism.

Outstanding!

Love it!

I am not a Greenpeace fan but this is one of the most clever things they've ever done. The second sign, that was the kicker. I can't believe I'm typing this, but: Well done, Greenpeace.

So damn cute. I've got a monthly contribution to them I'm too shy to call and cancel, and this makes me glad I've been putting it off.

Absolutely fantastic. As a former Greenpeacer, and continuous donor, very happy to see my time, money and efforts paying off like this.

That is HILARIOUS. I am an avid Formula 1 geek and I have to say that I never saw that. The TV coverage never showed that. I wondered why Seb Vettel was looking down, but I presumed he was looking at the crowd. Until this footage I never knew. I loathe Shell (as well as Exxon, BP), but until now I didn't know this happened. Thanks Dan. I doubt most of the world saw this though. There was a MCO (maximum close up) on Seb during the national anthems.

As @13 says, the TV crew would have no reason to show this, so it would have been seen only by the "studio audience" at Spa-Francorchamps. Here's an eye-witness YouTube video stating it didn't go out on TV.

So, unfortunately, the impact is essentially limited to secondary media coverage, like this post, not the live TV audience.

Also, that is in no way the "Grand Prix finals." It's just the awards ceremony for that day's race at Spa. The finals, if that term is ever appropriate, is at the last race of the season in November in Brazil. I'ma gonna have to call "dingbat" on that writer.

Probably could have waited for 2nd sign but then again maybe they suspected that the man would notice the gizmo for the 2nd sign before they could raise it.

I'm always iffy with Greenpeace, they seem to fall prey to pseudo-science quite a bit, but this was golden.
