Mercedes TV spot with Nico Rosberg, Michael Schumacher & Mika Hkkinen

Mercedes-Benz is kicking off the 2011 Formula One season with a new Silver Arrow and also with a new TV spot. Based around the motto “Racing is a state of mind“, the short film entitled “Compliments“ depicts the passion of Mercedes-Benz for motorsport and competition. With a touch of humour and self-deprecation, Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher play on their internal rivalry within MERCEDES GP PETRONAS team. Former world champion Mika Häkkinen - an iconic figure who has appeared numerous times in humorous Mercedes-Benz TV spots over the past 15 years - highlights, with the aid of an energy drink, on which team the rivalry should be focused at the start of the season.
