Seven Star Spin

You've got to love RBR, not because they just won their fourth consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Formula 1 Championships, but for the unconventional way of doing things which are most often far out there in a galaxy of their own!

Don't believe me…how about having their 750 bhp F1 car do donuts and burnouts on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab, which by the way, is 210 meters above the sea (almost 4 times as high as our Juliana brug) and only 24 meters wide. Take a look at the short video below:



As the sun rose over the horizon and immediately started casting shadows over Dubai's landmark buildings, David Coulthard put RBR F1 car through its paces, first with a burnout then with a series of donuts, which must have been a remarkable wake up call for the residents of Dubai. A very different kind of "call to prayers" I'd say.

Thanks for reading.
