* ''[[Top Gear]]'' has had various F1 drivers as their 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car'. Unlike most of the stars, they have their own leader board due to their skill superiority. {{spoiler|Rubens Barrichello currently leads the leader board, beating [[Badass Driver|The Stig's]] time by a tenth of a second.}}
** {{spoiler|Consequently, the Stig has developed an [[Berserk Button|irrational hatred]] for him.}}
** Both Jackie Stewart and Mika Häkkinen have been featured in segments where they teach presenter James May (aka 'Captain Slow') how to drive like a racer.
** Series 13 had {{spoiler|1=Stig reveal himself...as Michael Schumacher. It wasn't, as he was later revealed to be Perry McCarthy.}}
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
** As mentioned below, the original Stig was {{spoiler|1=the talented but unlucky Perry McCarthy.}} He outed himself in his biography, and was subsequently fired due to a clause in his contract saying that if his identity was revealed, he must be fired.
** The second Stig, who was with the show from series 3 through series 15, was revealed to be {{spoiler|[[wikipedia:Ben Collins (racing driver)|Ben Collins]]}}. They are now on their third Stig.
** Season 14 had the presenters attempt to make art out of cars. David Coulthard helped Jeremy out with his art, using a 2005 Red Bull car. Specifically, using paintballs fired from the exhaust pipe of the Red Bull car. Onto a canvas Clarkson was holding in front of him. [[Groin Attack|It didn't go well.]]
{{quote|'''Coulthard:''' [''as Clarkson lies in a fetal curl on the ground''] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|I'm not giving him mouth to mouth.]]}}
** Season 15 Episode 5 had an absolutely ''beautiful'' tribute to Ayrton Senna, to commemorate what would have been his fiftieth birthday earlier that year (2010).

* [[This Is Your Life]] also featured a few drivers as the subject of it's show. Notably Murray Walker, Damon Hill and Nigel Mansell. Several other racing drivers acted as guests.
* ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]'' featured a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNrS9RHMc-I sketch] where [[Hugh Laurie]] played an F1 driver who constantly moans about his "many problems" even though he won the race. The interviewer ([[Stephen Fry]]), after berating him "You do a job that half of mankind would kill be able to do, and you can have sex with the other half as often as you like!", "Are you ARSING WELL HAPPY you dismal moaning French twat?" finally punches him out. A ''real'' punch as well, hence Stephen's slightly guilty expression.
* ''[[The Mary Whitehouse Experience]]'' had a sketch trying to prove that elderly drivers are the most dangerous. Part of which was Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost being held up at the British GP by 'Granddad'. The constuctors championship being won by McLaren, with Ferrari second, and "Austin 1100" third.
* Jasper Carrott talked about fellow [[The Midlands|brummie]] Nigel Mansell on his show: "''Potentially'', he is the most exciting man on the Earth..." (beat) "...until he speaks". "He's got all those exciting endorsements on his tunic; Havoline, Texaco, Labatts...it's so ''incongruous'' isn't it?. It should be Horlicks, or Solihull Public Library" He even mentioned Nigel's Indycar switch: "[[Paul Newman]], and Nigel Mansell! Butch Cassidy and The Sanatogen Kid!"
* Machalcon from ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' is an [[A Mech by Any Other Name|Eng]][[Engine Sentai Go-onger|ine]] based on a Formula 1 car.
