The roll, in fact, is not real -- it is CGI, confirmed by folks up the street in the Marketing dpt. The first ad released with a no-name driver. Then Schumi joined the Mercedes F1 team, and they added him into the final ad.
Fun ad. MB has come a long way in marketting, IMHO.
Pretty car too - I've seen a few up close - the satin brown exterior finish is stunning.
