Video: Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel takes Formula 1 car onto German streets

Formula 1 will see its German GP take place this weekend at the Hockenheimring.

But as we saw with the British GP two weeks ago, this has allowed the Red Bull Racing team another chance to show off, especially as one of its drivers, Sebastian Vettel, comes from the land that brought us the Autobahn, bratwursts and plenty of fast cars.

Even though it’s not as impressive as the pit stop Mark Webber did in the middle of London, Vettel took the RB6 Formula 1 car on the cobblestone streets, and then to an organized venue. There, other professional drivers like Mattias Ekström or Chris Pfeiffer, accompanied by German rapper Smudo, wowed the public.

Hit the jump to check out another crazy Red Bull marketing stunt.

Mini Canyon to be three-door Countryman, will rival Range Rover Evoque

Mini Canyon to be three-door Countryman, will rival Range Rover Evoque

Hot off the heels of a new report stating that BMW is planning a more compact coupe crossover, the X4, which will be inspired by the X6 and target the future Range Rover Evoque, a new report has now appeared, concerning BMW’s Mini brand.

It seems that because the five-door Countryman will soon hit markets around the world, there’s a big possibility that a three-door version will also appear, in the following years.

According to AutoExpress, the Range Rover Evoque has definitely kickstarted this new crossover niche, and BMW is keen to exploit it through as many models as it can. As such, besides the possible X4, the Mini Canyon is also on the drawing board.

No other details were revealed by the British magazine, so we should take this report with a grain of salt. Don’t forget that Mini is also rumored to be preparing a larger, 7-seat Countryman, as well as a revived Mini Moke off-roader. Considering all these new models, Mini won’t be so tiny anymore.
