Sweetest Vodafone Storm / McLaren F1 Video Ever! Posted in News & Rumors on 10 Mar 2009 11:58 by Kevin Michaluk | 
93 comments
We're only 16 days away from the official start of the 2009 Formula 1 season and some hardcore Lewis Hamilton fans (along with a bit of help from Vodafone and McLaren we assume) have put together what has to be one of the sweetest ads / elaborate stunts / examples of corporate viral advertising for the BlackBerry Storm ever. LOVE IT! Watch the video. Seriously?! An RC car controlled by the Storm? An F1 car controlled by the BlackBerry Storm? I wants it!!!! After BlackBerrys and smartphones, Formula 1 is my passion (can't wait for Melbourne!). So if you're reading this McLaren, how about you bring this CrackBerry Addict down to Monaco this season for a pit tour :-) [ via PitPass ] Bookmark/Search this post with:

That is so awesome! can I control my remote control helicopter? Where can I get one?
(Didn't know BT could reach beyond 30 ft.? Is this like that Nike/Ronaldinho commercial where he keeps kicking the ball against the upper bar of the goal posts and it's so hard to believe?)
For starters the 'upper bar of the goal posts' is called the crossbar! and secondly that video with Ronaliniho hitting it repeatly from the edge of the box is a fake which might be why its so hard to believe! and bluetooth only has a range of 10 feet which leads me to believe that this is a fake too. The little remote control car could well of been rigged like that with the bluetooth (Sony ericsson did a bluetooth remote control car years ago) but on the real thing some how i don't think so!
Awesome!!!!
if im not mistaken that was NOT and iphone. 2points for bb storm 0 for iphone!
Berry Noice!
I'm speechless!
Now, that is what the Storm was meant for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see a bunch of guys sitting up in the driver’s suite looking down at the track controlling their F1 cars around the race track, Storm in hand, while sipping their favorite beverage. No in-car drivers needed... that would be very cool!!!!
i want it now, lol. where is the app and the car.
Ha! That was great. I'm watching that again!
where can we pick up this app? HAHA
I ssssooooo want 1!!
Maybe this is the only thing that will make Hamilton win this year.
Intresting comment when your talking about the defending champ. I think its the rest of the field that needs all the help they can get to come to grips with Lewis.
let's say he got lucky.. remember? last curve?

If that's not a spoof and its real, that's sooo cool... I think it would be easy to do this, since its using BT.
Most BT receivers only work upto 30FT, but there are others that can go beyond 100Ft.
I love F1 and my Storm.... great combo!
Hope they took out the connectivity link off the F1 car.... wouldn't want his race botched for '09! lol
I want me some of that!!!!
Sweet where do I get one of those blackberry storm controlled cars.
1 word: WOW
that is very impressive
That is incredible. I would much rather use my storm for controlling a car than my garage door.
that is freakin awesome
that has to be the coolest video i have ever seen
That was fantastic. I love it.
SUUUUUWEEEET, Thats what is possible with the Storm, Lets hope this give the app makers a vision for what is possible.

Sorry Guys, I guess I got a little click happy after watching the video
That is amazing... I guess the one on the real car isn't controlled via bluetooth?
sickkkkk i want the app lol... cani do that with my buggy?
With my Storm it depends on the app that's being used. If I'm in my browser and change to landscape it takes 1 or 2 seconds. Maybe I should start cranking it like that guy was with the F1! :D
The RC car was cool enough then they do it with an F1! Crazy delicious.
One video to show down the pub later! On my storm ofcourse.
I want one of these. This summer, I want to go to the park and race my Storm-controlled RC against the lids with their big, clunky remotes.
One question... What happens if I receive a call in the middle of a race? Hmmmm.......
That was soooo cool !!!!!!
DieHard Mclaren fan here.
Thanks for posting that video!
That is absolutely INSANE!!!!
that is fuckin SICK!!!!
Holy crap, two of my favorite things in life AND LW gave it a try as well ... that video just made my day.
Now I really want a storm! And a McLaren F1 car lol
Man, I am one jealous Canuck. That was awsome, cant wait for the F1 season to start too!!!
That was awesome! I need to be able to do this with my car!!
wheres the video?? i cant seem to find it.
If this was a TV commercial here in the U.S. I do believe Blackberry would have a hard time keeping the Storm on the shelf.
I love my storm by the way.
disregard... my adblock was blocking it, my bad.
pretty awesome video.
TAKE THAT IPHONE!!!!
That is as cool as it gets right there...hands down. I love F1 and have been following in since way back in the day when the M.A. was still king.
This seems like a real simple app, just utilizing the phones radio to transmit a signal just like the garage door opener app...I want this so bad then I can load my jeep up with some servos and go Jippin in the woods with her! :D
Next lets see the Storm fly a plane! :D
Can Lewis be replaced???? They need to show this on Top Gear!!!
wow.. thats amazing.. now i dont even need to be in tha driver seat!
so what happens if the Storm crashed? any backup?
Awesome! It really proves that men never get too old for toys...the toys just get more expensive!
I guess I'm not done buying accessories for the Storm. Now I need to buy a Formula 1 car...lol! Awesome!
