Whoever made this ad knew exactly what he/she was doing.

Those Ferraris of the past are simply gorgeous; it's amazing to see them running through the streets.

The run through Hong Kong was the best.

Just watched it for the 10th time.
That bit on the freeway when the tyre nurfs the barrier. Fab.
Great stuff.

You know, this is a bit of scoop. I can't find it anywhere else on the web.
Well done!

I just downloaded it... watched it 4 times.. and everytime I get goosebumps. I love formula 1 today, but can it even be compared to what it used to be in the 50's-early 70's? Shell did an amazing job with this one.

Its beautiful, even the modern ones, I think they chose just the right cars for it too. trinlico, they didn't show these cars because they were a dark era for Ferrari, between Mansell winning in the early 90s and MS starting to win in '96/7. None of these cars were succesful.
