What do you do when you are being talked about obsessively by the press because you haven't said a word ?
What do you do if you like being talked about ?
What if not talking was pleasing your employers because they knew they were not only not at risk in the situation , but getting the same amount of obsessive speculative headlines as you ?
What if you were to seemingly use your new theoretical spare time to start some other projects , to encourage possible "moving on to life after F1" speculation ?
What if you could use the moment to grab a "feel good" , starting some program for a cause , to push that "moving on" speculation ?
What if you could let the press in on the ruse , for a small fee ?
