What about Mansell-mania? There was even lots of Damon Hill merchandise around when I went back in 1994, my sister bought a Union Jack with "Hill" on it. Even today fans in Williams gear is a very common sight when you're walking around Silverstone.

I don't really think Mansellmania can be compared to the popularity of McLaren, Ferrari, Senna and Schumacher. It was neither over a sustained period nor universal to all Formula One fans. Moreover, Senna was a global icon when Mansell was driving for Williams.

The McLaren merch sales surely can't be helped by the fact that some of their stuff is tacky as hell...!

Yeah, the quality of the gear is not bad, but not brilliant. Certainly not what you would expect when you're paying £30 or so for, say, a a t-shirt. My biggest gripe has always been the styling, though. I think McLaren's gear looks awful.

Plus Ferrari has the mystique of their road cars as well. In the US, the only name people know of F1 is Ferrari (but only because they know the brand from their road cars) - a good way to pique their interest in F1: Oh, Ferrari races in F1? Ah!
