This one is actually a Mercedes advert, it goes…
Nico: “My lack of wins is killing me”
Michael: “And I, I must confess, I still believe”
Both turn to the camera: “Still believe!”

I usually have a good laugh reading these, but have to say none have made me laugh. Maybe the picture isn’t so good.

After a mis-translation regarding the “launch” of the car neither Mercedes driver was willing to volunteer!

‘All I am asking for is a bit of respect sonny. After all I was winning races while you were still in nappies and stand to attention when you talk to me’.
‘Ja Herr Schumacher, das ich tadellos verstehe und befolgen werde’.
