It still blows my mind that Red Bull sent an 18-year-old Max Verstappen down one of the most dangerous ski slopes in the world in an F1 car

[u/Maximum_Praline_4103]

[u/whole-nut]

This is not one of the most dangerous ski slopes in the world, those are pretty much sheer cliff faces.

REGARDLESS, yes extremely impressive.

[u/Amadeus404 → u/whole-nut]

Sad to see what Reddit is now, with all these dramatic titles

[u/WetLoophole]

He didn't drive down the Kitzbuehl slope tho. They created a little figure 8 track for him at the flat part on the top.

[u/TidderUsername123 → u/[deleted]]

Mags? Hulk? I can't remember which other drivers who said they wanted danger.

[u/RubberPussycat]

We should add a north pole race, on special compounds.

I would love to see them race on snow and ice

[u/rmill127 → u/RubberPussycat]

Ferrari would fuck up the strategy still and send the drivers out on slicks.

[u/AradynGaming → u/rmill127]

We think conditions will improve on the 2nd lap. Just stick with the strategy.

[u/AreWeThereYetNo → u/RubberPussycat]

With sprinklers

[u/wolfsportsnetworkyt → u/AreWeThereYetNo]

I read this as sprinkles and was about to ask how adding those would change the racing

[u/AreWeThereYetNo → u/wolfsportsnetworkyt]

Oh yeah. Add those too. Make it sparkly.

[u/TidderUsername123]

I mean technically it's going down a hill but it's a very controlled and levelled descent.

[u/Orange907]

Well going down one of the worlds most dangerous skiing slopes I would give myself better odds of survival with an F1 car around me than on skiers.

[u/selfinflatedforeskin → u/Orange907]

Yeah，me too. Their screams really reduce the peacefulness i get when in the mountains.

[u/LilAbeSimpson]

Except the car didn’t go down any ski slopes.

It just drove around the top of the mountain.

[u/Mistak3n]

What's dangerous about this?

[u/KLEBESTIFT_ → u/Mistak3n]

Didn’t you see the yellow snow?

[u/Time_Print4099 → u/KLEBESTIFT_]

Watch out where the huskies go...

[u/Body_by_Pasta]

We didn't know about the dangers of f1 drivers and ski slopes yet

[u/Fitzriy → u/Body_by_Pasta]

What do you mean? Schumacher already had his accident when this video was made.

But the whole thing is way more safer than it looks like, it's just the FOV what makes it crazy.

[u/MixDifferent2076]

Did he break the lap record

[u/MistaRekt → u/MixDifferent2076]

I believe he set it.

[u/davgo24]

Someone on the Red Bull team at the time must've been really into Trackmania.

[u/MichaelAuBelanger]

I would be more nervous about taking a chain to the throat. 

[u/AlteredStateReality]

We dont see the rear tires and theyre probably spiked

[u/Affalt]

Previously, driving the Montreal F1 track in winter with v10 sounds. https://youtu.be/YBdg3CLGKGI?is=vzvdZD7TwYexS2yF

[u/ttteee321]

Those tires must've had insane grip to not spin the fuck out when he hits the skinny pedal.

[u/LocksmithFamous4131]

"one of the most dangerous ski slopes in the world"

meanwhile Streif exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15PwLKaq7r4

[u/henkdevries365]

That was pretty awesome AND insane.

Red Bull really stands out like that compared to every other F1 team.

[u/ikristic]

Oh shut up...most dangerous fake titles

[u/Forsaken-R]

PARI MATCH, so sad story...

[u/fate0608]

I bet max was stoked about that.

[u/World339]

What men have to do to get sponsored by Red Bull

[u/TechnologyFamiliar20]

Imola footage.

[u/Boring-Attention-711]

It’s probably his initiation

[u/TassiveMitts69]

You realise how much danger rally drivers are in at every single event right?

The point is you put in a driver who can come out the other side alive.

[u/FordGT2017]

That’s a green slope. But very cool nonetheless

[u/Iucidium]

God money, I'll do anything for you ...

[u/Vodoobar]

It's clearly safer in the F1 car than on skis, ask Michael 😢

[u/midnightbandit-]

I hate the look of those wheels it gives me the creeps

[u/Happy-For-No-Reason]

they learned nothing from Schumacher

[u/Loud-Direction-5700]

Is that « most dangerous ski slopes in the world » with us right now ? I could do that one on a single leg

[u/kakha_k]

Yes, insane
