He may not be in his prime, but he is a seven-time Formula 1 world champion and currently holds nearly every record there is in the sport.
Love him or hate him, Michael Schumacher had the guts to make a comeback after a three-year absence and at the age of 43, instead of basking in his glory and wealth, he’s fighting the young guns in tracks around the world.
Joining Mercedes GP was kind of like going back to his roots. In 1990, Schumacher, along with Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger, was a member of the Mercedes junior racing program at the World Sports Prototype Championship and drove the Sauber-Mercedes-Benz C291.
In F1, promotional events go with the territory and Schumi was the natural choice for Mercedes-Benz’s commercial for its top-of-the-range sports car [Ed. note: this ad was first released in 2010].
The model in question is the SLS AMG Coupe and Herr Schumacher is doing a loop in a tunnel while a rescue team is watching intensely.
You can view the video of Schumi doing a Maverick (for those of you who remember Top Gun) impersonation behind of the wheel of the SLS AMG right after the jump.

I call bull shit on this, obvious Bull shit.
this ad is about 2 years old
Good job Aaron gets a cookie
No way the SLS could generate that mush down force
One of the coolest with one of the coolest car in the planet!!
You must be some sort of physics superhero. Maybe Captain Obvious?
This add is so old... congratulations Carscoop :]
This really did happen... It's on the Trans-Canada highway in the Fraser Canyon, British Columbia. Driven the road many many times.
It is Schumacher only in the stills.
Have to say, I rarely come to Car scoop these days. All these seem to post is in-dash video footage?? It's a shame, just to be a good site - know it just the Youtube for capturing Idiots on the road on . . . .
The article states that this ad is from 2010.
So? I doesn't change the fact that the article is from 2012...
I think you wouldn't be happy to buy new magazine with photos of a "new car"... except that it was shown two years ago. This add was very popular when Michael came back to F1. Showing it now is just hilarious and unprofessional.
