F1 Drivers in TV adverts
Posted by admin in f1 tv adverts on July 12, 2011

So now we are on the subject here are the best and worst we could remember and or find:
First up Mercedes maxing out the opportunity in Germany with Shumacher and Rosberg (with special guest)…

Shumacher did some good ones whilst with Ferrari:
Kimi Räikkönen – probably best not to get him talking if you want to keep the viewer interested!
Alonso’s other ad spots:
Get ready to cringe as Jenson Button sells out big time:

Lewis Hamilton races Heikki Kovalainen
Before Hamilton and Alonso started fighting (and look who pops up again!):
Mika Hakkinen did some of his own:
So Coulthard went and did an exact copy!
Hamilton does loads to pay the bills, and here is one of them:
What has to be the best F1 based advert ever!…
and yes there were outtakes…(done to celebrate Damon winning world championship)
But the last one has to go to Senna – and a Shell Japan ad that is just, well, odd…
