Compared to musicians actually on top of Buckingham Palace, the thought of Grand Prix cars speeding by in in some distance doesn't sound so outrageously bizarre anymore. However, there was some noise being made years ago about such a "scenic route" kind of race in Rome. And now 'possibly to be staged in <at least four years away>" has come, it's 2012, and perhaps people are glad the Italian GP will take place at its usual venue, instead. So I personally won't be holding my breath waiting for this to happen.
I found it very interesting the way some GP writers pointed out the possibility that the timing of this "But wouldn't it be enormously cool if we got to actually do this?" kind of press release might luckily coincide with some other, rather unfortunate news that such an item, if it generates some excitement, could potentially take attention away from.
Personally, I'm still taken enough by the pictures we got from Le Mans this year (night onboards! grainy track cameras to actually be able to figure out where that car that stopped in the night ended up and why! compare to the 24 hours in the Eiffel...) to not be interested in where F1 may or may not be driving some time between now and when our sun goes supernova.
