Mobil 1: Boxers

Racing driver Max Verstappen rolls with the punches in this beautifully choreographed film out of AMV BBDO for Mobil 1.

Directed by Jones & Tino through Stink Films, Boxers illustrates the extreme G-forces that Aston Martin Red Bull racing driver Max Verstappen endures in every race, as a rippling army of glistening-bodied boxers rain down sychronised punches to the strains of Cavalleria Rusticana's Intermezzo - better known as the Raging Bull soundtrack. 

Featuring 124 heavyweight boxers punching in unison (all the effects were filmed in-camera), it makes for an aptly cinematic spot - and there's a slyly humorous twist at the end, in the form of an apology from Mobil 1 for delivering engine performance that will make Verstappen's job even more extreme.
