The Jenson Button advert

Next to that hideous TGF commercial, the funniest F1 driver advert I have seen was one starring Jacques, advertising a Honda that was parked in front of his place in Monaco, I think it was a Honda -- some little suburban box of a car that his smirking expression assured you he wouldn't drive as a getaway car.

OTOH, a friend of mine has a tape of Jean Alesi advertising shampoo, in which he steps out of the shower clad only in a towel. She watches this often.

Not seen either of those. But they would have to go some to beat the Jean Todt/Eddie Irvine/Ferrari Tic Tac special.

Remember TGF's dubbed shampoo advert

He ended up sounding more like Arnold Schwartzeneger.

Poor Jenson. It really is one of the most painful adverts I've ever seen. Cheesy, cringeworthy, awful script and soooooooo wooden!

Still, he'll have taken a fair old wad for it so you can't really blame him. I think people will soon forgive him when the season starts...

I do particularly like the way they identify him right at the beginning of the advert - so that the other 99.99% of the population actually know who it is!

Well personally I like Jenson. I would blame the BBC for 1 for making he say such pap. Also his manager for letting do such a painful advert.

Lets just hope that when Jenson wins the world title in a Williams (hint-hint Frank) that we all forget this blip on his radar.
