    A thread inspired by a post from F1 Fanatic Live this morning – F1 drivers in TV adverts.

    Sometimes they’re funny, some they’re weird, sometimes they’re bafflingly pretentious. Let’s see what we can turn up.

    To get started here’s Fernando Alonso wrestling a horse in an attempt to flog watches, which was posted on F1 Fanatic Live this morning (sorry, I forgot who by!):

    My favourite:

    Because I love the terrible, almost racist attempt at a Spanish accent, and how completely unnecessary it is. Why squander a celebrity endorsement by removing their voice?!

    I almost enjoy it even more than…

    “wow, it’s bracing”
    “WINNING”
    perfection
