It got me thinking, for some fun what driver's would market in the good old days or any days really.

Here's a few:
Graham Hill, women's lingerie, Jackie Stewart said he used to cross dress to functions etc
Andrea De Cesaris: Go Compare.
James Hunt, obviously Durex, Marlboro is so cliched...
Button, Head and Shoulders....lmao oh dear..." so bracing!!!"
Vettel, Farleys Rusks.

Well you get the idea, see how warped some of you are.
Oh as an aside, I was trying to think of what Jochen Mass would have advertised but couldn't think of anything...

Both good suggestions.
I was thinking more along the lines of him being ideal for Red Bull. In the car he was electric & exciting, out of it he was booring & monotonous...

I can definitely see Felipe Massa's face on cans of Gerber baby food (and I say that as quite the fan of his, in fact, I suspect I'm the only fan of his)!

Poor Adrian Sutil may want to do some advertising for any Chinese defense attorney who will let him. Anything helps...

And then there's Jacques Villeneuve, another old favorite of mine. Those "I've fallen and I can't get up" advertisements for medical-alert devices for the elderly would certainly be reflective of the path his career took. "Hi, I'm Jacques Villeneuve. When I fell and broke my ego in 2006, I was thankful to have LifeAlert. With the push of a button, I alerted all the nearest NASCAR Camping World Truck Series teams, and was back on my feet in no time...and then back on my arse a few months later. But I swear I can still do F1, Stefano, if you can hear me, if you see this, we should do din---"

Another way of "alleviating constipation" was to have Senna closing in on your gearbox.
