At first I was going to ask why he had Stefan Bellof's helmet on his lap, but it's not actually Bellof's helmet - Bellof has the yellow strip on top of the red one. So whose helmet is it? It's not Michael's.

Heinz-Harald Frentzen's?

Or perhaps it's one of Vettel's many one-off designs that we don't care about and have conveniently forgotten and which nobody talks about any more!

At first I also thought (by default) that it must be Bellof's helmet, but good point, it's not. Then I realised whose it is. It belongs to none other than the one, the only, the great ...

Great spot. I see it's also de Villota's Lotus 78 from his 1979 British Formula One season. Presumably they either had a de Villota waxwork, presumably since melted down to make a Fisichella waxwork or a candle, which is why they have the helmet and car, and then lumped them together with their Schumacher waxwork because F1.

Its a little known fact that, despite dying in 1991, legendary Queen front man Freddie Mercury was once a Mclaren driver in the noughties as this stunning picture bears witness...

Say what? Juan-Pablo who?

Well, Good ol' Freddie is akin to a demi-god so it's entirely possible :lol:

Type in "terrible f1 art" into Google image search, and behold what this thread has wrought, for the images posted here now comprise the majority of the first two rows of results. Great work to all of you I say, for now it's even easier to find that which is the horrendous art bestowed upon the F1 world.

Not just in the Image results but the general Search too, it lists the images first, and a link to this thread second. Presumably we have a niche discussion here...

I do now feel a bit guilty about mocking the artist's efforts though ...

Maybe we should retitle the thread to something like "I appreciate your artistic efforts but maybe a bit more attention to detail would not go amiss next time - F1 ART"

Its been a team effort we should all be proud of and dont let Michael Andrettis indifference take that away.

Unless this was meant to be the moment Ron Dennis told him to do one, would it have been too much effort to make Michael look at least vaguely happy to be alive?

This probably doesn't belong on this thread but has anyone in the UK seen the 'Senna' tablets in Sainsbury's? :lol:

Senna pods are a 'herbal remedy traditionally used for the relief or preservation of occasional constipation'.
They can be found with other remedies in the supermarket, but I don't know where.
