...The first pictures of the kick-off of the new season we usually get is from some unusual activity of drivers for their sponsors.. like RBR drivers today playing some cricket in front of a bunch of photographers.... or the Vodafone boys (a few years back) taking pictures of eachother on the beach... or Sauber kids riding tuk-tuks in Malaysia.

Sometimes amusing to see, sometimes fabricated promo scenes put together by corporate marketing people..

Let's make a collection of such moments (brilliant and embarrassing bloopers) by posting pictures with text.

In my mind, he's still there...it's imprinted. You can't forget that, everytime I look at him, I remember.

Please keep to the topic, keep it tasteful and within the rules. This is not the photoshop thread.

I saw this thread and started looking for that photo. Nothing beats flying Hamilton though.

For some reason that get-up really seems to suit Frentzen. :lol:

Amazing

Hopp Schwiiz :kiss:

The Kimi Roman Red Bull Legionary is also quite a sight.

On the other hand that traditional dress really suits Frentzen.

For some reason Fisichella fits in in every picture. But that suit... Well, I guess I'll have two Pasta Carbonara and a coke please!

I had almost forgotten about the Superman cape on Monaco podium, that was pretty embarrassing. The Lewis flying thing was pretty bad, but at least it wasn't seen on Live TV by millions of people.
