I have just discovered a funny advertisement from 2010 for the new at that time 4 Matic Mercedes W212 with W463 in which Michael Schumacher, driving a Pagoda, plays the role of a Sunday driver.

For those that may not know, the 463 was driven by 1974 soccer World Cup winning captain, and 1990 World Cup winning manager for Germany, Franz Beckenbauer who died yesterday

Maybe I'll add for the records, to close the list of stars in this ad, that this W212 was driven by the two-time 1998 and 1999 Formula 1 World Champion- Mika Häkkinen. He plays the role of a pensioner.

Michael Schumacher's aunt lived in MA, (after moving from Germany to marry her American husband, whom she met after WWII). Her daughter was, and still is, a dear friend of my wife. The aunt frequently visited Germany and brought me back an autographed Schumacher picture in the late 80's. It hangs in my garage. The funny thing is, she had told me, "I'm going to get you my nephew's autograph next time I'm in Germany". She never told me who her nephew was. When she returned with the autograph, I was floored. Michael was her sister's son!
It's a shame that he's in the condition he's in. Very sad.

I noticed, that there is also an English version of this ad. Unfortunately, I don't know who this woman is?
