The Shanghai Grand Prix may have ended on a sour note for the Red Bull Racing team as the wrong pit strategy let them down and allowed McLaren to snatch a win but that doesn't mean that Sebastian Vettel didn't have a blast in Shanghai before the race was flagged off. The Red Bull ace was called upon to shine some of his star power on one of the team's sponsors, Infiniti.
It wouldn't make sense for the luxury arm of Nissan to pour millions into the team if it wasn't getting back its investments. Hence, Vettel was given the task of taking a couple of Infiniti's finest for a spin on an autocross track that was setup at the Shanghai International Circuit. It does make perfect marketing sense after all as the best way to recoup your investment is by getting the sponsored entity to promote your product to the world.
Being the favourite to win the title this year, Vettel proceeded to fling the tail on the G37 out around the course. Furthemore, he also took to the wheel of the FX50 crossover and gave it a good run too on the layout. Although we're sure he's pretty used to something a little faster, he did seem like he was having a good time throwing the luxury vehicles around like a rag doll. The video also has him sharing some thoughts on how the championship is shaping up this season and his vies on it.
