    Shell Commercial

    Okay. They are Ferraris but they are cool Ferraris. If it's vintage and goes fast I love it.

    Wow, that was great! I think that's the best commercial that I've ever seen.

    Now I want to see the "making of the commercial" video.... I see Ickx in Hong Kong and Schumacher in Rio/Rome/Monaco, I wonder who the other drivers were?? Was that John Surtees in NYC? The crowd and dog reactions are classic.

    Brilliant! Love that top view shot of the jet-coated pipes... and the progression of F1 sounds. Makes me wonder what they will sound like in 20 years.

    Hmmm, I don't think that it's Amon as the stripes appear to be black.

    Looking at it again, I don't think that it's Surtees either though, as his helmet had just one black stripe and the driver's helmet in the commercial has a strip of white dividing the black stripe. It may be that they just made a helmet evocative of the era, as was done in the movie Grand Prix, where they reversed the blue and red tabs of Amon's helmet for James Garner.

    I'm sure at some point it will come out who all of the drivers were.
