    This thread is inspired somewhat by the other discussion on who on the gird we would make a film about if we could. It’s pretty straight-forward: imagine that Hollywood producers have seen a great year of racing and so have decided to make a film about Formula 1. A proper film, not something like Stallone’s DRIVEL (even Stallone himself said he regretted making that one). You’ll need to copy the list of drivers below and paste it into your reply. Be sure to add an actor to play the part of said driver, with an explanation as to why you chose them. You may only fill in ONE suggestion every TWENTY-FOUR HOURS (so everyone can have a go).

    I’ve nominated Adrien Brody to star in the film, because he is quite possibly the only man in Hollywood who can play Robert Kubica’s nose.

    Well neither Bernie nor Burns are real are they?
    Am I blind or is Mark Webber missing from the list?

    Added Webber in. Somehow, a cuple of names got dropped; I’ve added it back in. Once a name has been put on the list, it can’t be removed (to stop people from changing others’ ideas with a “better” suggestion). Alex Bkk, you may take your vote again – but it MUST be a real person.

    Remember guys, you have to copy and paste the UPDATED list. Not the original one.

    There is a lovely gritty edge that Hawke has in common with Webber. He could pull it off.

    James Cromwell for Sir Frank. Somewhat old, distinguished and a fantastic actor, especially in serious roles, I suspect he’d fill Ol’ Frank’s shoes well.

    And Verne Troyer for Bernie, man that was genius!
