  1. Robert Englund as Nikki Lauda, because of the Niki Lauda/Freddie Kreuger resemblance.

  2. a bunch of malnourished 12 year olds as “every single driver”

  3. Arnold Schwarzenegger as Toto Wulff. Because of the accent.

  4. There’s a guy doing Santander bank adverts that looks and sounds just like Jenson Button. He’d be good.

  5. And shouldn’t that be ‘whom’? 🙂

  6. Gollum as the aesthetically challenged Bernie Ecclestone. Gollum’s obsession with ‘the precious’ – at the detriment of everything and everyone – should enable him to play this role very convincingly…

    …oh, and Mr Bump as Pastor Maldonado (obviously)

  7. Someone has to add the obvious: Britney Spears as Nico Rosberg.

  8. Jack Nicholson as Daniel Ricciardo, for the smile obviously.

    Any 6-month old as Vettel, needs to be skilled at throwing toys out of the pram.

  9. Lewis Hamilton – Nicole Sherzinger
    Nico Rosberg – Leonardo DiCaprio (cos they are the same person)
    Fernando Alonso – The Puppet from the Dolmio adverts.
    Philipe Massa – Latka from Taxi.
    Kimji Raikonnen – Lyndsay Lohan
    Romain Grosjean – Alexander the Meerkat
    Dabiel Ricciardo – Mick Dundee
    Sebastian Vettel – Alan Carr
    Ron Denis – Stephen Hawking
    Toto Wolf – Daulph Lungdren
    Max Chilton – Todd Carty
    David Coulthard – Minnie Driver

  10. Frankie Boyle as the politically incorrect podium interviewer

  11. Ali G as Lewis Hamilton.

  12. Paddy Lowe – Mark Millar Irish bloke from DIY SOS

  13. Mr Magoo as Pastor Maldonado

  14. Jimmy Krankie as Bernie Ecclestone

  15. Ed Speleers as Nico Rosberg. Seriously, Google it. The geezer’s a dead ringer for Nico.

    Any young British rapper as Lewis Hamilton. He’d love that, as Lewis secretly wants to be a music industry bad boy anyway.

    The bottom of a saucepan that baked beans have been burnt in could play Pastor Maldonado, for obvious reasons.

    Daniel Ricciardo’s fellow countryman, Guy Pearce, could play the smiliest man in F1, subject to him cheering up a bit after his “no smiles” role in hit film The Rover.

    The son from the Dolmio adverts could play Fernando Alonso. Whilst I’m at it, the dad from the same advert could play Felipe Massa’s father.

    Kryten from Red Dwarf could play ex-F1 racer turned BBC pundit David Coulthard (the square head connection).

    Kimi Raikonnen could be played by any male actor from a Danish police drama. All brooding looks and not a lot of dialogue. Perfect.

    That’s probably enough from me now.

    Jeremy Clarkson as Nelson Piquet
    Richard Hammond as Christian Horner
    James May as Eddie Jordan
    Ashley Cole as Lewis Hamilton

  18. Damien Lewis (from Homeland) as Jenson Button
    Leonardo DiCaprio as Nico Rosberg
    Ian McKellen as Ron Dennis
    Benedict Cumberbatch as Graeme Lowdon
    Rob Beckett as Marcus Ericsson

    Macauley Culkin (in Home Alone) as Nico Rosberg

  23. Kate Beckinsale as Claire Williams

  24. The old 80s puppet Max Headroom as Marcus Erricsson

  25. Oh, and Donald Pleasence as Ron Dennis

  26. Ozzy Osbourne as Bernie Ecclestone……..why not?

  27. Ebeneezer Scrooge as Bernie
    Beaker (Muppets) as Kimi
    Come to think of it the entire cast of the Muppets as the whole of F1 with Waldorf and Stadler as Ron Dennis and Eddie Jordan

  28. I would simply have the entire cast of the hit musical ‘Cats'(The musical tells the story of a tribe of cats called the Jellicles and the night they make what is known as “the Jellicle choice” and decide which cat will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. Cats also introduced the song standard “Memory”. – i stole this bit from Wikipedia), it would be far more entertaining than the usual type of film about car racing (usually made in America and each vehicle seems to have a 35 speed gearbox), where people are always asking ‘lets see what this baby can do’. With my ‘Cats’ based F1 drama / musical film i do believe that F1 would be shown in its best light and would appeal to new audiences who would be ‘wowed’.

    1: Emperor Palpatine in the “Star Wars” franchise, that’s who.
    2: Off “Carrott’s Lib”
    3: Only F1 driver ever named after a south London police station

  31. Timothy Spall as everyone.

  32. Peter Ustinov as everyone. Oh, wait, that’s already been done.

  33. Maureen off Driving School as Pastor Maldonado
    Sonia Ghandi as Monisha Kaltenborn
    Humpty Dumpty as Niki Lauda
    Peter Andre as Nico Rosberg

    Arnie as Toto, of course
    Andy Serkis (via CGI) as Bernie

  35. Rob Brydon as Toto Wolff. Because of the accent.

  37. Fozzie Bear as Ross Brawn. No, wait, when was he sacked again?

  39. @ spd rdr Nice answer. Rumour, and high forehead with no hairline, has it, that a silver acrylic hair piece is playing Eddie Jordan’s hair.

  40. An F1 movie?

    I’d cast Eddie Jordan as a knowledgeable pundit.
    David Coulthard as an interesting commentator.

    Obviously this will be a comedy.

  41. Eddie Jordan as Eddie Jordan, seriously, who the f**k else could be such a gobshite?

  42. Daddy Pig as Ross Brawn.

  43. I love the suggestion of Alan Ford as Bernie Ecclestone!

    “I don’t care if he’s Muhammed I’m ‘ard Ali. You can’t change drivers!”
