We just saw the German Grand Prix and even if it was campaigned once again at the Nürburgring, the race was held on the GP-Strecke. Since the early 80s the infamous Nordschleife hasn’t been used for F1 racing, because since then it was deemed too dangerous for modern open-wheelers. Even so, championship leaders Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and their sponsor Infiniti didn’t miss the opportunity for a little wheel-to-wheel action around the Green Hell.
Red Bull Racing drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber started their German Grand Prix weekend early this week, when they took each other on racing around the famous Nordschleife circuit in high performance Infiniti road cars – Infiniti Ms. Well, here’s the kicker… Webber got the keys to the 3.7 litre V6 Infiniti M37 and Vettel jumped into the M35h hybrid.
In these conditions, it’s hard to tell which driver had the advantage. The brand claims that the M35h is the world’s quickest hybrid sedan and its most powerful car on the market – hitting 62 mph from a standstill in 5.5 seconds versus the conventional M37s’ 6.2, so it looks like Vettel was set to get the jump on his elder wingman once again.
You’ll see the result in the video below.
