After spotting the post, three-time race winner Heinz-Harald Frentzen shared his surprise at the hilarious sticker which featured his name.

The German enjoyed a successful spell in F1 during between 1994-2003, achieving 18 podium finishes in addition to his race victories.

The former Williams driver also finished second behind Jacques Villenueve in the 1997 drivers' championship, receiving a promotion from third spot after Michael Schumacher was disqualified following an incident between himself and the Frenchman.

After making the move to Jordan in 1999, Frentzen would finish secure a third-place finish in the drivers' standings, comfortably outperforming team-mate Damon Hill.

The 56-year-old's legacy in the sport evidently lives on given the recent tribute which has surfaced in Spa, expressing his 'surprise' after seeing the image.
