Who needs real drivers when people can control Formula One cars with cellphones?

A new viral advertising campaign from Vodafone that features Lewis Hamilton features a couple of British Formula One fans building a model F1 car that can be controlled with a cellphone.

The fans then go to McLaren, who then put the idea into a real F1 car, which Lewis Hamilton is then able to drive around a test track in Portugal using a mobile phone.

Okay, it’s just an ad campaign, so the whole premise of these being fans who are found on YouTube is a bit much, but it’s still pretty cool.
