Vettel reunited with 'Kinky Kylie' for epic Nordschleife run

Sebastian Vettel was back behind the wheel of a Red Bull F1 car on Saturday at the Nürburgring for the first time since 2014, his last season with the Milton Keynes-based outfit.

As part of a Red Bull show run on the German venue's legendary Nordschleife, Vettel was reunited with his 2011 championship winning RB7, nicknamed 'Kinky Kylie' by the three-time world championship and with which he claimed 11 victories that year en route to his second F1 world title.

Vettel roared around the winding, treacherous corners of the Ring's 'Green Hell', with David Coulthard in his stride in a moment of pure excitement for the local crowd.

"Today, you can see it’s packed. A lot of people. I think the turnout is 30,000 just in this section, which is amazing," enthused Vettel after his runs.

"A lot of flags, so thank you very much for the support. A lot of people came and I really enjoyed it. I had a blast!"
