When Anime & Formula 1 Collide...
So I was watching the series Rozen Maiden tonight, and while I'm unsure how I feel about it, I did notice something that set me to laughing.
It appears that the main character, Jun, is something of a F1 fan! For instance:
-Rozen Maiden, ep03
Please notice the poster directly above his bed. Here's a better look at it:
While you can't see it too clearly in either shot, the poster shows the year of the race as being 1994. So, I looked up the poster for the actual 1994 Grand Prix of Monaco:
Okay, sure, they changed the colors, probably for copyright reasons, but no question about it: that's the same poster. And, in case you're wondering, that's Ayrton Senna's 1993 McLaren MP4-8 featured. Unfortunately, Senna didn't drive in the 1994 Monaco GP, since he was killed in that terrible weekend in San Marino... the race before Monaco.

Your first pic also has ANOTHER Monaco poster over the computer. ;p
I went back through the Yakitate Ja-pan manga over the weekend, and F1 is actually involved in the plot for that one. The Chin even makes an appearance...

Yakitate Ja-pan? Never heard of it, but I'll be looking now.
The other poster is for "1930", and it's not anywhere near being a match for the official Monaco GP poster. It's closer to 1934 or 1960, but isn't really close to either.

It's a bread-baking shonen anime. Tremendously bad puns. Highly recommended, despite the topic. (F1 only shows up because they spend some time in Monaco for a bread tournament... but they included The Chin.)
