Singer/songwriter Tori Amos mentioned that she watches F1, and roots for McLaren. What other celebrities watch F1?

Per Gessle, the guy in Roxette does it. I think he roots for Ferrari.

I think sylvester stallone likes it.

You should see what happens here in australia when the Melbourn GP is on. All of a sudden all the local celebrities here turn into big F1 fans. They say that they like watching "Grand Pricks". Australian celebs are wankers.

"Celebs" are all wankers, they only go to these events because there publicist tells them their will be good chance they will have there picture taken for some stupid womans magazine and people will have another reason to talk about them.

Letterman watches F1...big fan of Senna.

Anthony Edwards has been at races.

I recall the following going to races, through the years:
Bon Jovi, singer.
Val Kilmer, actor.
Princess Diana; Prince's William and Harry have also been to races.
Dutchess of York (Fergie),
Jeff Goldblum - actor.
Kate Moss, Elle MacPherson, - supermodels.
Greg Norman (friend of Mansell).
Michael Douglas (visitor at France 1999 and Austria 1998, guest of McLaren).
Ronaldo - soccer star (Spain 1997, guest of Ferrari).

There have been plenty..

Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) 's a racer...loves his motorsport I believe.

Whether they like F1, who knows....

Nick Mason of Pink Floyd is a bi car fan and I believe he loves Jaguars, was there at the Jaguar launch alongwith many others including some girls from All Saints.
Val Kilmer has been to a few races, so has Natalie Imbruglia and that violinist.

That violinist...Vanessa Mae?

What the hell is the deal with that? - Just because she's a celebrity (questionable) then she gets a ride in the 2-seater McLaren. Now you can call me envious or whatever, but people like her have no idea about the sport, and then get a free ride...

Anyway, enough whining :).

that's why I still don't care. . . . most of them have nothing more than a superficial interest in the sport.
