Great video. Love to see him polishing the car... shame he uses a glass cleaner. That will cut through the polish.

Notice how at about 5 mins you see his trunk/boot opening... I've got that problem too, it's because the rubber strip is too new. I need to lock the trunk to prevent it from happening.

Also, at around 7 mins, you see him pushing up his sunvisor. It is slowly dropping. I used to have that, during rallies. He did it again at 7:36. He can tighten the nut a bit more.

Very nice video indeed, must be fun to drive that stretch of road. Perhaps I might just visit there in 2018 after the Euro tour.

Like Peter's my sun visor keep moving down, amazing how tightening that little screw will fix this problem (I counted at least 6 times he had to adjust the sun visor up - must have been many more times when the camera was not on him - bet one member of Nico Rosberg's team will have fixed that problem by now)

Here is another nice video, our Italian Members will appreciate the monolog :)

Maybe, we should invite Nico to our community so he will be able to take better care of his car?  ;D ;D

Thanks for posting Silvia and the 280SL Dieter!  The car filmed in the "wet" with the music provides a nice overall effect. 

I was a little disappointed with the engine bay footage and the ugly gas cap but overall very good.
