I just got done watching The Duel from Tag Heuer off of Autoblog’s website. I have mixed feelings about this, but overall the cinematography was very well done. I’m not sure who I would choose in this situation. First you have Steve McQueen. The quinticential motorsport legend/actor. Then you have Louis Hamilton the 2008 Formula One Drivers’ Champion. (Click link below)
The reasons why I would pick Steve McQueen is because the heart and soul of motorsport racing is different than today. When people raced back then, they held their life in the hands of thier peers, competition and lady luck. It was a different time and diffent type of racing.
The reasons why I would pick Louis Hamilton is that it would be a great “passing of the torch” and could be good for Tag Heuer’s image for evolutionizing their time pieces. The newest technologies that are being brought in to the epitomy of perfection. Where precision is now more than an art than bruit force.
Watch the video and decide for yourself. Who would you pick?
