Show Notes
Formula 1 drivers are not actors, as these commercials will show. Though interviews and PR are generally part of their contract requirements, doing TV ad campaigns for products might not be the first thing you think of when it comes to seeing F1 drivers in the public eye. The good sports we discuss in this podcast - Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Giancarlo Fisichella, Kimi Raikkonen, and Mark Webber - are just a sampling of some of the racing drivers you can find pitching products. What are your favourite F1 driver ad spots?
