We will finally witness Sebastian Vettel back where he belongs- behind the wheel of an F1 car. Further, with Vettel going back to his famous Red Bull era, it’s like traveling back in time. At the upcoming event at the Nürburgring, the Weltmeister is ready to reunite with his love- Kinky Kylie.
Vettel had a long tradition of naming his F1 cars, one that ended before his final F1 season. Yet, many fondly remember the Red Bull golden boy’s creative nicknames; Vettel had some Red Bull beauties named ‘Kate’,’ Kate’s Dirty Sister’; and ‘Hungry Heidi’.

With Ferrari, the fierce red cars continued to play muse for Vettel, giving us more classy names like ‘Margherita’ and ‘Lina’. In 2021, he named his Aston Martin ‘Honey Ryder’.
But all these lovely ladies aside, Vettel is ready to lock eyes with one of the best: the RB7 aka Kinky Kylie.
Sebastian Vettel and Kinky Kylie’s love story
Already a world champion, in 2011, Seb was handed the RB7 to work his wonders with. Debuting the number 1, Kinky Kylie was a special one.
As Vettel described his blue beauty, “It has a tight butt, is supple, and is good to look at.” Certainly matches the vibe of the name.
She turned out to be good luck for Vettel. The man was seemingly unstoppable in a glorious run for the 2011 title. Vettel and Kylie won the first race of the season, and after that, they were the ones to look out for.
After winning 11 of the 19 races that season, with 14 pole positions to his name, Vettel was even gifted the chassis for his efforts.
