A team having its drivers snap a selfie using their telephone sponsor’s product has been in fashion since cameraphones first appeared – as Lewis Hamilton will remember from his first Formula One season eight years ago.

Post your caption for this picture in the comments and a selection of the best will appear in a future edition of the F1 Fanatic round-up.
