Norman Wisdom. No ifs, no buts.
Robert Powell as Jesus Christ (Blessed Lewis – Blessed)
Mack Sennett,
In the Keystone Cops movies, wheels falling off, engines blowing up and cars crashing into hay bales was entertaining. Better than F1 now.
Brian Blessed. There would be no need for a microphone. He would have to don the Flash Gordon Prince Vultan outfit for additional comedic effect though.
Can you imagine him booming at Lewis Hamilton or Vettel before cackling at high volume at their answer…
Sid James to keep his hands on the podium girls as he asks the questions.
Humphrey Bogart: “Of all the tracks in all the woods in all the world, you won on mine.”
Brian Blessed.
For obvious reasons.
Being as the grand prix is in China, I feel it would be fitting for Mr Miyagi to do the podium interviews.
Your mum
Charlie Chaplin – the interviews must be carried out purely through piano music.
Barbara Windsor, won’t have a clue what to ask – but what’s new?
Lassie.
Benedict Cucumber-patch, just so he could sneer at the Germans!
Can I have two?
Kenneth Williams & Hattie Jacques.
Oooh Matron!
Jimmy Krankie, so there’d be some driver confusion on whether Bernie Ecclestone himself was carrying out the interviews. (See also, Warwick Davis, Kenny Baker, David Rappaport, etc.)
Since its China, Prince Philip, hilarity is sure to ensue!
Jeremy Clarkson. Too soon?
Clint Eastwood, but he has to do the grid walk before hand and ask the pole sitter if he feels lucky first…
How about Chewbacca?
Or Yoda
“Hmm, Pit to early, you did!”
Daniel Bruhl as Niki Lauda. With the actual Niki Lauda providing comic relief in the form of excessive swearing.
William Shatner. Bad news for the one in red.
I want to see a donkey in trousers
The Elephant Man. He’d be the most normal looking individual present.
Lewis, seriously mate, lose the earrings. They make you look like you have daytime running lights.
David Niven. Via a Ouija board.
Why? Why not more like.
Ann Widdicombe
Michael Schumacher or Jules Bianchi. No comedic angle on this, just a get well soon guys, would be great to see you at a race!
Sex it up a bit.
Sylvia Kristel.
Paul Newman might be best, there’s an irony in Grace Kelly, or there’s always Margaret Rutherford or Bela Lugosi
George Cole aka Arthur Daley. Most of F1 is a bit dodgy…Arthur Daley would be at home doing the podium interviews. As an aside could we have Gemma Arterton doing the grid walk? I reckon the drivers would be queuing up to be interviewed instead of sprinting to the khasi when they see Brundle approaching!
Brian Blessed, but only if he gets to call the winner “EdMUND!”
Peter Sellers to Verstappen “Do you have a licence to drive a car”?
Vin Diesel – he could ask Rosberg why he didn’t overtake Hamilton simply by changing down a gear a la ‘Fast & Furious 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/etc’
Tom Cruise. He’d make Felipe Massa look a normal size.
The Hawaiian Tropic girls.
I’ve just answered a small ad on the front page and become their manager.
Jaques Villeneuve,
To remind the world that he is still a massive cock both behind the wheel and with a microphone in his hand.
Oliver Reed. Basically anyone drunk.
The family duo of Edward G. and Anne Robinson.
Peter Stringfellow.
The whole point of being a successful race car driver was to be able to get your hands on a succession of seriously stunning, long legged girls.
Ask Sterling Moss and just look at James Hunts career!!
Vin Diesel
I’d want him to ask the top three drivers why their cars are so slow, why the wheels are so small, and why they don’t have guns, or nitrous.
And then watch the faces of the media-trained darling drivers trying to process questions they really weren’t expecting.
“Er, for sure Nico was pushing me hard… But we can’t shoot people… Er, nitrous is banned… Tyre wear was critical in the final phase… 21″ rims wouldn’t fit.. Where the hell is Eddie Jordan when you need him?”
Michael Caine – asking specifically about the doors and the lack of them being blown off.
Benny Hill in character as Mr Chow Mein.
I like Fred Flintstone’s idea of Benny Hill as Mr Chow Mein. How about Kenny Everitt as Sid Snot? They are not really movie stars, though. And being dead might make getting a visa a bit harder. Robin Williams would have been awesome but I was thinking of Mike Meyers as Austin Powers. If we could just convince him that Bernie Eccleston was Dr Evil in disguise, plotting to take all the fun out of F1 and turn it into a mindless procession of cars while making billions in the process….hang on a minute!
Borat – just the guy for the podium in Russia, or Azerbaijan next year, or anywhere really.
Marcel Marceau. Interviews to be carried out through the medium of mime
Rowan Atkinson. In character as Mr Bean. (it’d be just like having Maldonado on the podium!)
Ron Jeremy, for those wishing for a reminder of 2014…
What was wee Jimmy Krankie doing on the podium this week?
The superstar Jenson Button as he doesn’t have much else to do.
I don’t like today’s article on your website.
How about Basil Fawlty for the next one?
Sir Laurence Olivier as Joseph Mengele in ‘Marathon Man’. Now that Kimi’s back on the podium, Larry’d be sure to get something out of him…
Gene Kelly, seeing as Nico makes such a song and dance about everything it would be the perfect chap to interview him… about his second place.
Ron Jeremy.
Helmut Marko. To make himself look an even bigger twat to a wider audience. (Much like Eddie Jordan)
I like it when they have someone who knows nothing about F1 with a massive me,me,me ego…. Eddie Jordan for example.
I know he’s not a movie start but Shaky Hand Man….
Another Project Cars-troll calling this blog terrible and not worth spending time while spending one hour to write a book- long hate-post against it. And then not even having the balls to use the WMD-profile name but just hiding behind Anonymous. Idiot. You act as if this blog would just create conspiracies while it is also one of the few that shows enough material to support words instead of just writing empty words. People should know the true quality of the game and the lead behind the studio who is all but not professional in dealing with customers. This studio has build up a false fassade of empty promisses to suck money from people’s pockets.

Good luck getting Google to discount Godaddy’s inbound spam links. A couple of years ago they teamed up together. I learned this through one of Godaddy’s phone support techs.
