Just a question for those in Europe or Asia. Are there a lot of commercials on TV using F1 drivers? I've seen commercials on YouTube before, but don't remember seeing any such ads during race broadcasts or other programs here in the US.

During Nascar broadcasts there are many, many commercials featuring drivers and some during the IRL broadcasts as well.

Just read an article about Juan Pablo being on QVC which is a television shopping channel. Apparently they have a racing products segment every week and often have a Nascar driver in the studio to sell his products directly. I've never seen the show, but apparently Montoya sold out of the replica cars he was hawking at $70 per model. Montoya is a funny, personable guy and I wondered what other F1 driver would do that sort of thing.
