The Premier League, England's top-tier football championship, is considered the world's most spectacular one to watch despite not producing the best teams in Europe (that honor has been split between Spain and Germany lately).
It is highly competitive with almost every game open to any result, thus making it very exciting to watch. It's nothing like Formula One, then, which has been through arguably its worst patch in decades with only just now showing signs of recovery.
Be that as it may, the two still represent the top two competitions in each of the two sporting disciplines, so mixing them would make some sense. But how could you do that? Play football with single-seaters like Top Gear did with the Toyota Aygo? That could be too expensive even for these two very rich sports. Put football players behind the wheel of a Formula One car? Are you kidding? They are famous for their awful driving skills, meaning it could be a very dangerous activity. What then?
Well, Sean Bull Design had a much better idea. He figured both sports use visual identity to separate one team from another, so he devised a series of twenty renderings depicting a Formula One car dressed up in decals specific to each of the Premier League teams battling it out this season.
He didn't just take the club's colors and its sponsor, threw them together and hoped for the best. No, Sean's work shows very careful planning. He even bothered to include the driver's name for the more famous teams, which is how we got the POG inscription on the red Manchester United car (for Paul Pogba) or the AGU on the blue Manchester City one (for Sergio Aguero).
There's no real utility to Sean's effort, but it should be quite a captivating experience for fans of either (or both) of the two disciplines. It also makes for a few gorgeous liveries. It's hard to pick a favorite, especially if you happen to be supporting one of the teams that didn't get such a great makeover.
