The fifth and final episode of ‘Valentino Rossi: The Doctor Series’; a collection of clips created to prize away some of the layers of one of the most famous and best-loved motorsport athletes of the modern age; a man that everybody sees everybody enjoys but perhaps few really know.
‘The Boss’ carries a double meaning. Rossi is not only the top dog in the premier class of MotoGP and has existed in that sphere since 2000 but he also heads up a hefty business sprawl of merchandise and distribution. ‘VR46’ has a stylish and functional HQ near Tavullia and is the base for an enterprise that also looks after many other interests.
We speak to the people running a busy parallel existence for Valentino and find out how the Italian is creating a legacy and an empire designed to last when the chequered flag has long since dropped.
The Mercedes-AMG ONE: A car that made history, before it was built.
A documentary by Cutting Edge Productions, produced by Tina Preschitz and directed by Jochen Schmoll.
In 2015, Mercedes-AMG set out to crack one of the last barriers within the automotive industry: The first street legal Hypercar with F1 Technology.
What started with big promises from the AMG-Management and highest expectations from not only a handpicked crowd of 275 buyers, but the automotive industry and beyond, soon turned into a project that put the image of the entire Mercedes group at stake: misfires, problems, delays, frustrations, tensions within the management and the teams, and the rising pressure from all sides– failure was not an option.
Six years in the making, this for sure was a milestone, worth to be documented. As the pinnacle of an ending era and the step stone into the future of PERFORMANCE, this car is for sure, ONE of its kind. Mercedes-AMG granted Cutting Edge unrestricted access to their teams, management, partners, and archives.
Interviews with Lewis Hamilton, David Coulthard, Susie Wolff, Victoria Swarovski, FIA president Dr. Ben Sulayem, Mat Watson, as well as the Mercedes and AMG management, engineers, mechanics, designers, software developers and car builders give the ultimate and honest insight into all aspects of PROJECT ONE, and a behind-the-scenes look at how automotive history was being made.
