12 men as in 3 men per wheel (one on, one off, and one to do the nut)
2 fuel men
2 jack men (one front, one rear)
1 man with a starter motor
1 man with lolly pop
2 men to clear air intakes
2 men to adjust the front wing

not many really

Front wing doesn't really need adjusting any more. Drivers can do it.

Limited adjustments. If those don't work then they still have to make manual adjustments. Actually this year because of the additional weight difference in fuel between the start of a race and the end, I'm guessing there will be quite a lot of wing adjustment going on.

This was what Red Bull use to do back in the day when they couldn't win races, they would try anything for luck!

I wonder why they stopped doing the movie promotions after 2005 and 2006?

Can you imagine if a team done a preview thing for AVATAR? Oh god, it'd be THE BLUE MAN GROUP racing around like Sonic The Hedgehog!

Does anybody remember when Tyrrell put Xena Warrior Princess back on their cars back at Silverstone in 1997?

Dark Knight sorry

You're like a dog chasing a car. You'll never catch it and you just wouldn't know what to do with it if you did
