Sebastian Vettel named his new RB6 formula-one car “Luscious Liz”
Sebastian Vettel named his new RB6 formula-one car “Luscious Liz”
The 22-year old German and 2009 championship runner up is famously known as last year’s Red Bull ‘Kate’s Dirty Sister’ because it was more aggressive and faster than its predecessor ‘Kate’.
His 2008 Toro Rosso was named Julie.
Vettel now has a superstition about giving his cars a female nickname, which is engraved on the dashboard of the single-seater.
Vettel faithfully climbs into his car and dismounts from his left-hand side. He then slides a lucky coin between the laces of his boot.
Bernie Ecclestone, chief executive of F1 writes that Sebastian would be the superstar if he could design one in Auto Bild Motorsport.
The 79-year old added, “He is exactly the formula one needs: A young, super-talented driver, intelligent but not arrogant. Popular with the public, good with the media, normal, but still very professional.”
