To see an F1 car on a regular city road with a typical city backdrop is really a sight to behold. It's just so strange to witness it yet so cool. It's just too exotic to be in this setting. And shot this way, the car looks super "darty" and nervous which makes the car look like it's wayyyy too powerful to be on such roads! And the sound that reverberates through those building blocks must be deafening! I can imagine the best effect for sound is when the F1 car is speeding through one of those bridges, and you hear the howling engine sound from either side of the land!

[@redbull]

the noise 🤤

[@maxbenneton2328]

Bridges? You know we have lots of tunnels right

[@kas4751]

@@maxbenneton2328 oh yeah that too. But there was no footage of tunnel piercing RB7 so I didn’t comment on the tunnels. Maybe some shots of the car surrounded by steam coming out of the vents from the underground would be cool too!

[@Cabbieguy78]

I’d love to know how fast they were driving, the northbound FDR would destroy an unaltered F1 car, especially between E23rd and the 59th St. bridge. I’m guessing it didn’t go above 30mph. Redbull, give your editing and production people raises, they did a good job on this one.

[@CogitoErgoSumFortis]

The car is modified. If you hear the revolutions in the engine it can show you that although maybe not reaching F1 track speeds, he was going fast.

[@gregrowe1168]

Looks like at some point it might have hit maybe 90-100 mph on the bridge but that’s about it.

[@mrcringe-fg6zq]

This is an Old RB5 From 10 years ago.

He was able to drift and slide smoothly and easily bcoz he already lost about 50pts of downforce from floor damages caused by roadbumps and potholes.
