Unknown Soldier

The Jaguar Racing team may be nicknamed 'Big Cat' but according to the team's mechanics, it's more an ass than a cat.
Jaguar's mechanics displayed their thoughts quite evidently, albeit humoursly, when they introduced a donkey into the team's set-up at the Belgian GP. The donkey, a toy version of Donkey from the hit Shrek movies, was even spotted behind the wheel of this year's R5 at the Spa event.
Jaguar's executives, though, failed to see the humour behind Donkey and ordered the team to get rid of him. According to The Sun, they felt that having Donkey hanging around the Jaguar garage was lowering the tone.
However, the mechanics refused to listen to their bosses as by then Ford had already announced that they were pulling out of F1.
"It's just a bit of fun and a way to stick two fingers up at the bosses," an insider said.
So while Formula One may be losing the Big Cat, the Donkey will forever live on.
