Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' sponsors are well known for having exploited Lewis' marketing potential in TV ads over the past 2 years...

There was the 'STARS' campaign from Vodafone last year featuring a young Lewis daydreaming of growing up to be a racing driver......Mercedes Benz's 'ANYTHING YOU CAN DO' campaign from last year featuring Lewis, Alonso and Hakkinen and from this year, weve had Vodafone's new 'DECISIVE MOMENTS' camapign starring Lewis driving through the streets in his McLaren before morphing into 'the viewer' meeting a loved one of a train platform showing how 'every second counts'.

Well, the next 'big' VMM TV ad comes courtesy of Santander/Abbey to coincide with the British Grand Prix which the Spanish Banking Group sponsors, as well as the McLaren team.

The tv ad shows Lewis and his McLaren car as an 'Airfix Model Kit', being put together and painted by the model maker whilst simultaneously slowly coming to life.

The ad will run from June 16th to 10th August.


A special 'The Making of/Behind the Scenes' Video can be seen here:

I wonder whether there will be a technical fault and the Hamilton advert will run into the back of the preceding commercial, forcing it off the air...

to miss the best pass/dice/crash, or gaffe of the race live! :beer:

Is it the one where he lies then blames somebody else for making him lie, proving that not only is he untrustworthy but also a gutless back-stabber who brings shame and disgrace on his sponsors?

pointless. pathetic. absurd and unusually cretinous post tamb.

my reasons for my opinion are basically the same as above.

some people just milk things for too long................

In my defence, I didn't "dig out" the thread....it was on the front page of the F1 forum.

Don't know why, but sometimes this forum has some glitches.
