This is pretty simple, really. Red Bull Racing won its fourth consecutive F1 drivers' and constructors' championships this year, but the team took a hefty fine from the FIA when Sebastian Vettel ripped a few donuts upon sealing up the titles. What better way to celebrate both championships, and give the FIA a subtle middle finger, than to deploy even more smoky burnouts? Red Bull did just that, sending one of its cars and longtime brand affiliate David Coulthard to the Burj Al Arab hotel's helipad—which just so happens to perch nearly 700 feet above Dubai. The hotel itself sits on an island specifically created for it, and Google's hotel-booking widget currently lists the place's rooms at more than $2200 a night. Formula 1 has always existed at the apex of speed and money, so we can think of a no-more-perfect mic drop for Red Bull than the video embedded below:
