The other day I got to thinking about animals featured prominently on F1 cars, but not sure if I can remember them all...
Jordan had snake, hornet, & shark schemes prominently adorning their cars noses
Jaguar always had the outline of a pouncing jaguar taking up the whole engine cover
(Red) Bulls have been on Saubers, Torro Rossos, & of course, the Red Bull team
Camels were seen on Lotus, Benetton, & Williams cars
I was wondering if I missed any!?!?

Williams had a woody wood pecker style character near the nose in '99 I think. In '98 they had a kangaroo where the Winfield logo would be by the barge boards. So that's 2 more animals.
In 1993 Williams had sonic the hedgehog courtesy of Sega sponsorship.
In 1993 also, McLaren would have a picture of a squashed hedgehog by the cockpit whenever Senna & McLaren beat Williams.
That's all I can think of for now

While Parnelli might have been able to drive an F1 car, I think the pig was on the Agajanian Indy cars. I seem to recall that Agajanian had a garbage contract in LA and he fed it to his hogs. Seems he made enough money to go racing. We have seen some "dogs" at Indy over the years.

And for the penthouse car, you were right. It had the planets most dangerous animal. The human. Björn Specifically, the Female of the human species. ;D MJ |

There was a logo with an eagle's head on some really nice looking blue and white F1 cars...

Love the 70s stuff - that's a weak spot in my knowledge F1 history. That Polar Bear scheme is cool and let's face it - the wild wing setups are very cool and would look great in scale on a shelf or display case  Jordan |
