    I like it – no matter how corny they can look. F1 drivers these days are always considered too “sterile” with their comments- rightly so?? NO- we have all seen the hot PR girls taping every comment that they make pre-post-during quali- race etc- they are not just to see if the media misquote, but to keep their drivers in check- BAD stuff. Thats why they have become boring.

    These ads show these guys still have personallity – yes they get paid well- but they are having fun…………………………… I still wish I never saw the webber milk commercial though……………. :)

    Japanese commercials rock. I saw this on my F1 stream just now, and I HAD to find the YouTube video for it. Good thing I found it! Good ol’ Mika with Shell. Didn’t know gas stations washed dogs too. ;)

    Haha just been sitting here for the past hour or so watching all of these ads! Best one by far is the Raikkonen/ Montoya photocopier ad!

    Raikkonen’s been busy, here he is in a new Renault Megane ad which is rather good:

    A small cameo by Sam Michael and Jenson Button in a brilliant ad for Mobil 1

    @Zantkiller Also Jonathan Neale (managing director) stirring the beans!

    Cracking ad, unusual to see members of the technical team making an appearance.

    Not sure i really like the ad, although its miles better than just a driver popping out from behind the door to sell you banking. This might actually be REALLY interesting to have at home :-)

    I kept seeing this one one Malay TV while on holiday recently. Nothing overtly amusing about it, but it cracked me up every time I saw it.
