that was hilarious!!

I laughed so much it made me cry...

You gotta hand it to Mercedes Benz though; they've taken the media stirring publicity over the rivalry and they're now milking it for all it's worth!!

Appears to have been inspired by the rubbish spouted by many about their rivalry having become an unsavoury one. This seems a funny response in the form of a memorable advert.

Nice one. Adverts should be fun.

If I must be subjected to mind control, let it be amusing.

Well, why not? Still the times aren't a lie. Besides it'll be nice to see it in a decent quality. Although in the days of mp3 and youtube quality seems to be an old fashioned thing.

Oh, quality has not gone anywhere. The standard of that quality may have changed, though...or, more accurately, perceptions of what pertains to what standards of quality may have changed.

The times might be a lie. Somebody will need to sit with teletext on transparent mode in order to check the accuracy of the times.

Anyway, enough of being an awkward bleeper.

But how did Mercedes get Kimi in the ad? Even before the current cold war I'm surprised Ferrari allowed him to do it!!

When the 2 fell over in the corridor they genuinely looked like they were having fun.

Not sure what Ron would make of Mika's tattoo though

Magic!

Although it is an ad, and it should be taken with a pinch of salt, etc., I think it does go quite some way to showing that all this media speculation about an intense rivalry is a bit premature. After all, could you imagine Prost and Senna doing such an advertisement together?

And bravo for having Mika deliver his typical cool style at the end. As an aside, I found this amusing little clip linked to from that video - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4-NVm-AtI1M

Mika never seemed the same after his accident in Australia.

He seemed "less jokey", good to see he's a good sport too.
