After Vettel celebrated his new F1 title with smoky donuts on the track, racing officials fined him €25,000. It's not a big fine, but he got the message and took his rubber elsewhere.
Just like most people like to take the party back to their hotel room, so too did the guys at Red Bull… to the coolest hotel in the world.
Just days after clinching both the Drivers' and Constructors' World Championships for the fourth time in a row, Infiniti Red Bull Racing were on top of the famous Burj Al Arab in Dubai. Strangely, it wasn't Vettel who was setting down fresh rubber, it was retired F1 driver David Coulthard.
The car they used wasn't the real deal either, it was their show car. Still, it's a nice stunt that required them to lift the car 689 feet into the air. It's just not as spontanious as Vettel's stunt, which is the one we'll remember.
"That was a lot of fun," said Coulthard after the run. "When Red Bull first suggested the idea to me I said 'why not?'. I like getting involved with anything that pushes the boundaries and it's what Red Bull stands for. I think this will produce fantastic, iconic shots in an amazing town and I'm really privileged to be part of it."
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
