Bernie wants to give Buddha pole position in London

Plans to bring peace and serenity to the people of London by installing a giant Buddha have won the backing of that renowned advocate of contemplative silence Bernie Ecclestone. The Formula One tycoon is supporting sculptor Laura Lian, who wants to put a 6ft statue in a convenient park or square. "I've got Laura Lian's Buddha in my office", says Ecclestone. "When I have all these other aggravations I look at it and it brings me peace. Put in the right place, it will be really nice and will give out the right message."Atticus - Roland White in the Timesonline - Sunday Times, April 1, 2007
