Media circus around Beckhams visit

England midfielder David Beckham and his wife Victoria triggered a media scrum on Sunday as the couple visited the British Grand Prix as guests of Honda.

Police were needed to keep reporters and TV cameras at bay as the pair squeezed their way through the tumult in the paddock to visit Honda's trackside facilities.

"I would love a go in one of these cars but I don't think I could get insured," the former England captain later told ITV in an interview.

The trip comes in the wake of Beckham's Primera Liga triumph with Real Madrid but before his family take up their new life in the United States when he moves to LA Galaxy.

Honda team principal Nick Fry told Reuters: "We got them to stand on the grid when the cars went off for the parade lap and they were completely blown away by these cars going at 150 km/h past their toes.

"It made me worried about the insurance of David Beckham's legs - but they had a great time."
