I know they are quirky little cars, but they sort of look like fun:

Watching it bounce on the city streets, he's going to need some Preparation H.

It was obviously all carefully staged, but seeing little things like the suspension bounce was very interesting.

The 2017 Red Bull had 900hp available and weighed 1700 pounds.

When I was 14 years old and went on family vacations through the Rocky Mountains with our camper on a 1963 Chevy half ton pick up, I would be day dreaming about what it would be like doing this in a Porsche 917 or a Mclaren M8F. In the mean time, even Volkswagen Bugs were passing us as my dad was a very careful driver. Well the section in part 2 through Independence Pass Colorado is EXACTLY the sort of thing I was dreaming about.

The producers read my mind! Except for the bikini clad pit crew of course... Hey I was 14.

The production values of these videos are astounding.

Red Bull Aston Martin Formula 1 team currently have 2 drivers who on balance, are the most exciting in Formula 1.

Max (Maximum Velocity) Verstappen is a 21 years old Dutchman and became the youngest person to ever drive in Formula 1 at the age of 17.
He is blessed with incredible car skills and is absolutely fearless in a car. He has a reputation for moving under braking which is questionable behavior.

Daniel (Ricky Riccardo) Ricciardo is a 29 year old Australian who is the king of late braking overtaking.

They both drive for the Red Bull Racing senior Formula 1 team which does NOT ban them from racing each other (which Mercedes and Ferrari do with their drivers).
They truly seem to like each other off the track, but on the track, holy cow!

Having fun together

Watch from 2:12 to 4:57 of this video of them ON the track

Daniel Ricciardo has signed with Renault Formula 1 for next season so these 2 drivers will no longer be a dynamic duo. It's unfortunate, Red Bull has one of the most exciting teams in Formula 1.

Both drivers are so darn good and unlike other leading drivers, not so full of themselves (Lewis Hamilton comes to mind)
