I found this rather funny cartoon in the French racing mag "Auto hebdo". I hope you can see them side by side. A few translations: volants = steering wheels (seats we'd call it) reclamations = customer service/complaints surgeles = frozen section soldes = on sale caisse rapide = quick check out caisse ferme = cashier closed contrat = contract marmelade de mur Indy = wall of Indy jam Lots of good things packed into this one. One of my favourites is the woman getting smacked by the Williams tusk. I bet that's the ex-Ferrari designer who went over to Williams. Another clever one is Panis with a French baguette: Panis is Latin for bread. BTW: The magazine had the entire season as cartoons. Each race with funny and clever drawings like this.

Some great images here. I love Juan Pablo angrily returning his "defective" elephant-tusk front wing; Todt waiting to check out Michael's basketful of trophies; Rubens quite pleased with his smaller stash; and of course Bernie greedily counting his green stuff.
Yeah I know. Which is why I'm gonna keep this mag in the collection. I knew Imperial would get a kick out of Sato's collection of melted Hondas.
That gave me a good laugh! Ha! Thanks for that. Edit: Just noticed the Sauber cleaing machine. Sauber does mean "clean" in german after all.
that is hillarious, Plz tell me you got more! or somewhere to look at more f1 cartoons (hopefully in english too) Cheers George
Ahh, there you go! I should have figured that one out myself. And I think it is also no coincidence that it is a hand held Zambowi machine since Curling is one of Switzerland's winter past times. Eric, I got more of the individual races, but I don't want to post all 17 pages (aside from the effort, copyright becomes an issue). Maybe I'll just pick a few more good examples.
Here are a few more, forgive my somewhat simple/sloppy translations: Sepang: Don't cry Bernie, the track is wide, somebody is going to pass me on my victory lap. Bahrain: There is fuel in there, let's get it out! Reminds me of the golf war. Look a new oasis! No, that's the iceman who melted. Imola: Damned! And I didn't even do anything! Monaco: Ok, I'm gonna show you how the Ralf and Alonso crashed. First he hit him like this... Ok, enough of this reconstructions, let's go back. Nuerburgring: And after yet another demonstration of Mercedes meltdown. Take me down, I'm calm now. I won't hurt nobody, I swear it! Indy: After the stewarts waited 90 minutes to black flag JPM. You show him the flag! No, are you crazy! I don't want to get myself murdered! Shht, not so loud, he's gonna hear us! France: Let me through please, I have to deliver Champagne for the podium! Oh please, go ahead we need that in 2 minutes on the podium. Britain: And just like that this race ended like so many others in front of the few people still interested in F1. Bravo Holmes, but how did you figure out, that it was Schumacher who killed F1? Basic my dear Watson, his name is on the murder weapon. Hockenheim: Hello honey, I'm back from work, what's for dinner? Oh the usual, Champagne soup. Monza After the pitstops JPM finds himself back in 5th position: Why didn't you come back? I miss you. At least compared to you I looked fast. Japan With all his strengths and reflexes back, Ralf is in 2nd position: Perfect, you got all your reflexes 100% back. Minus my 20% of course. Interlagos: Hey, come back, it's me, your Rubinho, Rubinho, Rubinho! Ah, him again. We can go home, he'll never win.

Barrichello et Trulli RBardon Monsieur Trulli! Je viens livrer le champagne. JT:Allez-y Passez! Grouillez-vous! on va en avoir besoin dans 2 minutes. LOL!! Because of that , it was the beginning of the end of JT and Renault. Poor Trulli...
Pitpass has some great F1 cartoons too ... My fave is the Imola one http://www.pitpass.com/fes_php/pitpass_cartoons.php
