Vettel has not yet given a name to his RB7

A piece of customary news: Sebastian Vettel has not yet chosen the name for the car he will race with this year.

Last year, the young driver named his Red Bull Randy Mandy. Until the Monaco Grand Prix the car was called Luscious Liz, but after the extensive damage suffered on the Monegasque circuit, the bodywork was replaced and so the name was also changed.

The idea of ​​naming cars is one of Vettel's superstitions, along with his habit of inserting a lucky coin between the laces of his racing shoes.

At the presentation of the RB7, the driver commented: “The number (the car bears the number “1” – ed.) seems good to me. Today
I finally see the car in one piece, I didn't have the chance before, which is why I haven't chosen the name yet”.

The journalists then asked, intrigued by what Schumacher says, whether Vettel also suffers from nausea on the simulator. The young man replied smiling: “Only once, but for a short time. Nonetheless, I think the simulator is vitally important, especially for learning the circuits, now that we can't test."
