OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Stuttgart/Brackley, Germany/United Kingdom, Jan 28, 2010
On Monday 25 January, the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart saw the opening of a new chapter in the illustrious history of the Silver Arrows, as the livery of the new Silver Arrow was presented against the background of models from the past.
At 11.14am, four apprentices from the Mercedes-Benz factories in Sindelfingen and Untert�rkheim wheeled out a Formula One car from the 2009 season in the new Silver Arrow livery of the MERCEDES GP PETRONAS team.
�Incredible. That was an experience I�ll never forget,� said Simon K�ffner (22) from Haigerloch. �It was unbelievably exciting to be in one room or on stage with all the big names and to get a glimpse behind the scenes. I was really impressed by all the hard work that went into making the event go so smoothly.�
The presentation was also a very special occasion for 17-year-old Sarah Wurster from Aidlingen. �Today�s presentation made a big visual impression that will stay with me for a long time,� she said. �It�s not often that an apprentice can experience such an event at first hand, and it�s marvellous that my training at Mercedes-Benz has given me this opportunity.�
Claudia Lengerer (23) from Kirchheim was fascinated by the whole occasion. �I�m so proud to have seen all the stars and I was really pleased by how charming everyone was to us. Thank you to Mercedes-Benz for allowing me to be part of this occasion. I�ll never forget the day.�
�It was so interesting to get this close-up view of the MERCEDES GP PETRONAS team,� said Darko Turcan (19) from Stuttgart, the fourth member of the group. �I was also delighted by the chance to see what goes on behind the scenes and feel privileged to have played an active part in that days event.�
The four apprentices were selected by their supervisors as a reward for outstanding performance during their training period.
