Something I noticed in the Sepang post-race...

Webber - When irritated, seems to 'stomp' his water/drinks bottle down. Noticed it three times now in different press conferences.

Got me thinking, how many other 'iconic trademarks / driver traits' can we commonly recognise and associate? Some of these traits making it quicker to identify a driver for whatever purpose... (if say, shown a clip or part of an image or if playing pictionary/doing an impression how easy could you identify them?)


Here's a few (obvious) that spring to mind...

Vettel - The Finger

Schumacher - The victory jump (arms and legs)


edit - removed loads on my list. Might be a nice little game, pictonary style. MS paint sketch, spend no more than 30 seconds. See if you can guess in the most crudest drawing...

Nice thread but

Jacques Villeneuve - The first 'for sure' speaker of them all

I'm pretty sure he wasn't the first - bien sûr ;)

Which (other) French speaking guy started this?
Alain Prost?

[BigCHrome]

Alonso used to do weird poses/dances on top of his car after wins, haven't paid attention whether he still does that in Ferrari.

[apexpredator]

Alonso does those puppet gestures with his hands as he crosses the line for a victory (he's been doing it his entire career, got it from a kids show he used to watch during his childhood or something).

[Wander]

Kimi always taking a gulp of champagne before spraying.

[Risil]

This has the potential to be a most excellent thread

[Wander]

And as for the pictures, here's a few guesses:

1) Keke Rosberg in his sunglasses?

3) Hill helmet?

4) Vettel's finger (obviously)

[Disgrace]

Well 5 is a trick question because it can be either Alesi or Verstappen.

[John Player]

2 Mansell

3 Hill

4 Vettel

5 Alesi

[LiJu914]

Well 5 is a trick question because it can be either Alesi or Verstappen.

Verstappen also? Didn´t know that.

[Disgrace]

Verstappen also? Didn´t know that.

Here you go.

[wepmob2000]

More guesses.....

2) Nigel Mansell (Red 5)

5)Jean Alesi (the red gloves give it away)

Alain Prost was defintely saying "for sure" a long time before Jacques Villeneuve, but Jacques always had race-suits several sizes too big, so it looked as though he'd shrunk in the wash.

Ukyo Katayama and his 'nodding dog' impression when driving......

Round 2 - Podium Edition

[TheUltimateWorrier]

LOL Those guesses make much more sense. I thought #5 was one person with jumbo legs and breasts . I feel ashamed

[Wander]

5. Hakkinen, Villeneuve, Coulthard.

Oh, could definitely be that too.

Quite possibly others as well.

2 could be a lot of people starting from Schumacher.

Still number 4 to be answered.... close but no cigar yet!

Here's a clue.... two of them are teammates! But not the most obvious guess...

Edited by danmills, 26 March 2013 - 10:54.

[ariel]

4. Wild guess but: Raikkonen, Massa and Alonso, Brazil 2007?

[Wander]

Could 4 be Berger, Senna and Patrese in Suzuka 1991?

[encircled]

Haha, number 3

[Murdoch]

Is 4

Sch, RB and Irvine (Guinness)?

[eddie66]

Mansell fainting

Barrichello dancing

Kimi's poker face

Barrichello was not a dance, it was a self deprecating joke that he was slipping on the podium in reference to when he won and race in the lower leagues and slipped and fell off the podium.

[John Player]

Barrichello was not a dance, it was a self deprecating joke that he was slipping on the podium in reference to when he won and race in the lower leagues and slipped and fell off the podium.

That may be right too but it was a dance called "samba".

[surbjits]

Great thread!

[danmills]

Is 4

Sch, RB and Irvine (Guinness)?

Close! The closest yet!

Round 3 - Lucky Dip

Number 4 remains on the board until guessed



Might be fun to see if you can find an image/shot from a video with your guesses


PS - is there a way to change the title to perhaps F1 Pictionary?
