F1 themed TV commercials

Do you also ask them when?

Sadly I didn't. But I did ask them why.

I was promptly told to "[bleep] off you annoying little oik and stop asking stupid questions!"

That Shell Ferrari ad is fantastic.
The Honda "impossible dream" ad was pretty cool too, it included the 1965 RA272 and a BAR Honda:

(but actually my favourite bits in that ad are the monkey bike and the RC143.)

Brilliant. I remember that, although it isn't the ad I mentioned earlier.

I can't find a link to it at the moment, but there was a rather wonderful one on German TV a few years ago involving Heinz-Harald Frentzen advertising Deutsche Post. This was at a time when you couldn't watch TV in Germany without seeing F1 drivers promoting things — Schumi doing Tic-Tac, the Fiat Seicento and L'Oreal, and Häkkinen putting on one of the most wooden performances ever in a Vodafone ad.

I still refuse to consider him to be "worth it"

That new Schumi and Kimi Fiat ad is quite horrible, for some reason they didn't bother to make dub it in English and they've now began airing it in Finnish tv, Mit Deutsche spreche auf Kimi. sounds a bit too much like Die Kühe for my taste.

Here is my favourite

He certainly wasn't worth whatever they paid him to do the ad... Still, full marks to him for doing something so embarrassingly camp!
