The 62 story building, created by late architect Zaha Hadid, has a helipad on the roof and that’s where the action went down on Wednesday. How the heck did he get up there? Coulthard’s car was lifted by crane on top of the soaring skyscraper in downtown, then he revved things up.
“Iconic,” DC said after the stunt. “To coin an American phrase, that was awesome!”
As for the F1 Miami Festival, it opens Saturday with the F1 live 3 p.m. car run along Biscayne Boulevard, with fans lined up to watch the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing and Renault Sport Formula One Team. There will also be a special appearance from two-time F1 World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi, who will be driving his Championship winning McLaren M23.
