That is a quite disturbing likeness. And you will never see Niki without the hat. It's like Mezario with his ten gallon hat.

I'm surprised nobody has pointed this one out yet:

World Champion he may be, but it'll never compensate for being the spitting image of Justin Bieber. And, in case any of you were wondering, I only noticed when there was an advert on Dave for Justin Bieber's new album (thus reaching nobody who would actually want to buy it) and realised they'd got the same hair. And the same face. Only the eyes are different.

Rumours that Mark Webber will be keeping a copy of this post in his car throughout the coming season are unconfirmed.

You've missed the point completely, friend. HWNSNBM is FAR, FAR superior to Chuck Norris, even FAR superior than The Stig.

For a second I thought you said Piers Morgan and I was worried for a second that I might have had to kill you for comparing Firman to him. But you didn't so all is well :mrgreen:

Romain Grosjean looks like the red-haired Fraggle, but I can't find a picture where the Fraggle looks as stupid as Romain with his "Afro"....

The times set by the celebs in the Kia so far this series of TG have shown a marked improvement - to the point where Clarkson's commented on how The New Stig must be a better instructor than the old one. Maybe HWNSNBM is The New Stig? Can we capture John Bishop, Boris Becker and Jonathan Ross, give them the Spanish Inquisition and get them to tell us if The New Stig has a Hungarian accent?

Is that Hitler specifically, or Nazism/fascism in general? Either way we're treading a thin line. Personally, I'm OK with that.

I think that varies - sometimes just referring to the Nazi party is sufficient, but others take it as a reference to Hitler. Either way, whilst I find Godwin's law a rather irritating internet meme, it is right in the sense that an argument that has reduced to the point where you are making a comparison to Nazism or Hitler in a facile has probably got out of hand.

After all, there are instances where you could bring up the Nazis and still be raising a cogent discussion point - if we were discussing the development of Grand Prix racing in the late 1930's, it would be hard to ignore the effect of the Nazis in the development of national automotive champions - which were, after all, responsible for constructing some of the most famous racing cars of the 20th century.

Recently I have been reading up on WW2, including the Nazi's effect on the development of Grand Prix racing in the late 1930's & it is pretty facisanting. Basically, the Nazi's used GP racing as a proganada tool. However my favourite story from that era is when Dick Seaman (a Brit), made fun of the Nazi Salute, behind the back of an arden Nazi offical, during his podium finish at the Nurburgring in (i think) 1937 or 1938.

Also if you haven't read it, I would strongly recommend a book called GP Sabtours by Joe Saward, its a great read about 3 F1 drivers (W.Williams -winner of the 1st ever Monaco GP, Robert Bentoist -great driver in the 30's & J.P. Wimille - unoffical W.C of 1948) who joined the French Resistance as spies during WW2. Really facisanting stuff.

How the hell does he manage to fit his helmet on? Well at least he has extra padding when he crashes out & hits his head (like at Jerez a few weeks ago.)

Saw it on an Autosport thread the other day. That said, I reckon Grrrrjjjjnnn's hair isn't quite as huge as Sideshow Bob's; he's closer to Cecil.
