awesome shell video

[ ferrari, formula 1 ]

you're gonna want to pump up your speaker for this.


this wonderful ad by shell is called "circuit". after more than 60 years of cooperation with ferarri, the ad shows the evolution of the ferrari racing car, zooming through the streets of rome, new york, hongkong, brazil, and monte carlo. fantastic!

while the ferrariworld blog asks:

This spectacular Shell video sparks off the enthusiasm for the street race tracks of the past, while it seems that this is a tendency that Formula One wants to reintepret these days. Do you think that this is the right way to make Formula One become more exciting?

anyways, there are many many scenes i love about this ad. so many i don't even bother writing them out. watch it, and you'll know which scenes i'm referring to.

shell v-power, ferrari fuel for the road. :)

[ ferrari, melbourne, kimi raikonnen, formula 1 ]

I've never hidden my joy, since the first day I came to Maranello. Now, after the success in the first race with the team, I am - in case this is possible - even more joyful.

totally understandable.

imagine if you've been working in a company, say for about five years, and you haven't achieved what you've expected to, wouldn't you be disappointed? you know you're a talent, and you know you could have done so much more, yet somehow everything just kept falling apart. that would have been five horrible years.

personally, i wouldn't want to work for a company that seems to have the best resources, but somehow lack in management. or a company that seems to have a fantastic brand, but lack results. beautiful office, but with high turnover. cash rich, but poor in spirit.

for a commoner like myself, i could only dream to have the opportunity to leave my shitty company behind, change an environment, and immediately see result. but commaners are not that lucky. but lucky for kimi, i think it's definitely a 'dream come true'.

with that said, nothing can be taken for granted. given the opportunity, you ought to work harder, concentrate, and continue to strive for results in order to remain motivated in the new company. i know i would.

so, 2007 will be a judgement year for kimi. will we see a successful kimi? or will we see him throw all that away?
