It may be a month until the next F1 race but we’ve got Olympic fever here at WTF1. We were wondering which F1 drivers could compete in the Olympics and what events they’d do. You gave us some absolutely brilliant suggestions, from long distance running to boxing.
So who would compete in these events? Find out below, with some bonus photoshops.
