BGUK_3676201 - An Oracle Red Bull Racing Formula 1 car was put through its paces on the tracks of Madrid Metro, with former F1 driver Patrick Friesacher taking on the surreal challenge of driving through the city's underground tunnels. Specially adapted with bespoke metal railway wheels developed by Madrid Metro engineers, the Red Bull machine weighed significantly more than a standard F1 setup for the unique test. The spectacular stunt forms part of the build-up to Formula 1's return to Madrid at the new Madring circuit, marking the championship's first race in the Spanish capital in 45 years.
