Vettel's old RB7 tears through mountainous area in Romania
Red Bull Racing has pulled another stunt with an old Formula 1 car. This time the team took the RB7, used in 2011, to Eastern Europe for a show run on the highest mountain road in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania.
In the video above and in the pictures posted on social media, the car drives on a beautiful mountain road called the Transalpina in the Transylvania region, which is best known among tourists for the myths surrounding Dracula. The description of the video is that the mountain drive is part of a trip to the Romanian capital Bucharest.

Vettel
The former Formula 1 car driven to world championship victory by Sebastian Vettel in 2011 had a different driver behind the wheel this time. It turned out to be Patrick Friesacher, the first driver from the Red Bulls Junior Academy who went on to race in the premier class for Minardi.
