Sebastian Vettel delighted over 60,000 motorsports fans at the Nordschleife, driving an F1 car at the Red Bull Formula Nurburgring.
Vettel drove his championship-winning Red Bull RB7 said: “I feel like I'm in a time capsule – a lot of memories have come up once I got into the car. It's going to be a lot of fun going on the big track and doing it in a way that I am happy with. Somehow everything fits together here today – including the fact that we are now running the car with CO2-neutral fuel.
“Motorsport is my great passion and I want to keep the sport alive. Fuels can be produced synthetically and serve as a substitute fuel. It is important that we all become aware that we must do something. And the great thing is – you don't feel any difference in the car, it's just as much fun driving it on synthetic fuel.”
Mathias Lauda, son of triple-world champion Niki, piloted the Ferrari 312 B3 his father raced during the 1974 season.
