Verstappen walks from F-1 on beach in USA

Red Bull, as it does not win F1 races, uses its bólides in marketing operations. And spectacular, because the brand of energy drinks does not like to do the thing for less. Above all, it has a driver who guides anything on wheels and, in these bold demonstrations of the brand, does not even run the risk of beating competitors, given the muscular shape of the competition.The US F1 Grand Prix, to be held on the Circuit of the Americas, will take place on October 21, but Red Bull has decided to pick up its race car and travel around the US. With Verstappen at the helm, the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team took an F1 that was adapted to be driven on the road, ie taller (with respect to the ground) and with softer suspensions (to deal with more irregular ground than the traditional one circuit).The places visited by the irreverent Dutch rider could not be more emblematic, since after driving through the winding rocky mountain roads, he traveled dirt roads, the streets of Miami and, finally, the beach itself, all mixed with pit stops to ride the tires for the next stage, from slicks to the road to tires with more tears to the ground and sand. But watch the video,which is fun and has the usual quality and humor that characterize Red Bull.Curiously, this now published video is in line with another similar one, released in August, in which Daniel Ricciardo was the star. He and his Red Bull. Then F1 was entitled to a tire change in the heart of the Golden Gate in San Francisco before cruising through the ever-impressive Monument Valley and ending up on the Las Vegas Strip.
