When we first saw a link to this video a day or two back we were attracted by the promise of Nico Rosberg and Mika Hakkinen driving the Monaco Grand Prix circuit in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster. A couple of F1 stars on one of motorsport’s most famous tracks; sounds like it could be okay, right?
So you can imagine our distaste when we saw what can only be described as the total shite dished up in this production. We challenge you to watch all 3 minutes and 27 seconds of it.
Worse, is the fact that Mercedes-Benz has been pushing this clip on media portals around the globe. Has anyone associated with Benz they actually watched it? Surely not, they’d be too embarrassed to admit to its existence if they had.
The only positive we can take from the footage is that the Monaco GP is on this weekend. Oh yeah!

What a total waste of time. They seem like gay lovers in the video.
i think i was able to stand watching 2G1C for longer…
Wow, that was…. yeah pffft?!?
I tried, but I only got to the two minute mark. After the super slo-mo of Hakkinnen putting on his aviators, I could feel my breakfast welling in my throat…
what a load o shite
Sadly this is somewhat better than the coverage of F1 on Channel 10 of late 😐
Ooh, that’s harsh! 😛
Needed more unicycle action.
[…] arrival of the MP4-12C in Dubai, or more accurately the opening of its new dealership. We’ve already seen this week how promos can go wrong, but we reckon McLaren has done a better than half decent job with this […]
Mike Hakkinen? 😛
Oops! Thanks Micky.
they should start up a boy band.
sort of summed up how monaco was when we were there……all this glam and hype and not much more if you not able to use thin bullion sheets as toilet paper.
