It is a reasonably well known fact that rubber-faced comic Rowan Atkinson is a bit of a petrolhead, and has spent a considerable portion of the vast wads of cash he rightly earned from Blackadder on such things as an Aston Martin DB8, Honda NSX and a much-abused McLaren F1.
What is less well known is that he also seems to have had a long and varied career in Formula 1, driving under the name Michele Alboreto, with Tyrell, Ferrarsi, Tyrell again, Larousse, Arrows, Footwork, Scuderia Italia and Minardi, roughly equating in performance terms to Not The Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Mr Bean, Mr Bean, Mr Bean, Mr Bean, Mr Bean and Johnny English. |
