That Taxi's probably faster than the current McLaren.

Apart from F1 drivers making poor actors :hehe:

Seriously, they're great adverts. Just like the Alonso and Hamilton Hotel one in 2007. Just good fun. Not trying to be serious or cool, and making the advert painful to watch.

Also, Barry from eastenders FTW :thumbup:

That was pretty cool. I like the one with Lewis and Alonso better, simply because I thought it was funnier. Now had Heikki and Lewis piled up one of those taxis....say Lewis stuffed him into a guard rail or better yet vice versa....that would have been excellent. Or maybe they were racing neck and neck down the last straight with the client at the end...and they accidentally ran him over. Yeah, that would do it! Or Heikki could have crashed his first several trips out to get clients! Not his fault of course, just bad taxi luck.

Apparently they weren't even actually driving the taxi's :eek:

They just sat both guys inside the taxi's, and took a couple of camera shoots, and edited it all together.

It's all a lie! :irked:

Awww...that completely ruins it for me. They had stunt double drivers for formula one stars? Actors are doing their own stunts these days:

Very funny. It reminded me of Schumacher's little racing incident in a cab last year. :hehe:
