Anybody know what the F1 drivers' daily ride is?
I also wonder if Toyota drivers are limited to driving Toyota's in the public. That'd be painful, IMO.

PErhaps Toyota guys can drive Lexus cars, as those are also Toyota's. I doubt that Spyker guys drive Spykers. I also don't think that Massa And Kimi drive Ferraris, perhaps Fiats, that is the badge on their cars after all.

I remember ITV did a feature on this this time last year.

The Ferrari drivers had Maseratis, Toyota drivers drove Lexus, Mark Webber still kept his BMW 7 series after Williams changed engine suppliers and Nico Rosberg started off last year driving a......












Proton!

Obviously Nico now earns more pocket money than he did in F3/GP2. I have no idea what he drives now.

I think Schnell mentioned Ant was given a Honda CTR when he became their test driver.

I do know for a fact that one of Renaults' presents given to Fernando Alonso in 2003 was a Renault 5 Turbo ;)

I remember seeing an intervew on SPEED Channel last year at Indy where Alonso was asked what he drives every day and he made a point of saying that his favorite car was his "big Mercedes".

I think it's floating around Youtube somewhere.

last time i heard webber was driving a BMW M5 cos its "big, fast and has a V10 so why not?"

i understand micheal schumacher owns a number of ferrari's but how many he actually bought and how many he was given as a present from the factory is unknown. One of those ferrari's happens to be an enzo, of which jean todt also owns
