Actually, why hasn't someone stepped onto the F1-boy design scene? My favorite feature on ITV is Paddock Boys. Hey! Y'all get grid girls and don't pretend you don't actually pay attention to those trivialities- and we get-what? Bernie in grey pants and a white shirt, tie optional?! Is this fair? JV had the in-crowd-equivalent of grunge going on--albeit a decade late, but he tried and bucking the establishment is no mean achievement --too bad he can't say the same about his own er, recordings. It just doesn't make sense that the cars are gorgeous and the boys are dowdy. Team owners through team personnel and there is an increasing number of women within those ranks who no doubt shudder and smile when they don the obigatory poly-twill-colour-challenged pillowcase... Why be the pinnacle of sport if you can't splash it about a bit? Case in point? Does anyone remember Peugeot? I'd kill for one of those gorgeous grey sweatshirts they sported in Montreal in '98. Trust the French for looking--and sounding--good. I always loved that throaty Peugeot engine sound...too bad about the rest of it. Dolce et Gabanna are their only hope.

But they're never going to look decent with 20 logos all over the place. These guys are like walking billboards. I agree they’re ugly – always have been.

Massa's racing suit in Brazil last year was fantastic wasn't it? :) I think it's the teams that have the final say though.. Great idea Gigi.

Think of Massa at the last Brazilian GP! There would be more colors and everone's self-expression would be displayed...
