Red Bull and Scuderia AlphaTauri aren\u2019t just battling on the Formula 1 track. The two sibling teams have been competing in the (Un)Serious Race Series on YouTube. The latest episode had Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez, Yuki Tsunoda, and Liam Lawson racing tiny Honda kei trucks through a series of elaborate challenges at Tokyo\u2019s Ariake Stadium ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
The two teams first faced off in a reversing challenge, which AlphaTauri\u2019s Tsunoda won. Perez piloted the Honda for Red Bull, struggling with the parallel parking portion.<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s small trucks became popular work vehicles because they could navigate the country\u2019s narrow roads and dense urban centers. Their small size and practical design make them useful and maneuverable, which was fully displayed in the second challenge \u2013 navigating an obstacle course while blindfolded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Verstappen and Lawson donned blindfolds while Perez and Tsunoda directed them. The drivers had to pilot the trucks without losing any boxes stacked in the bed, which proved difficult for Lawson who stepped on the gas a bit too much crossing the finish line, losing several and earning several time penalties, just like in F1, sort of. Red Bull complete the course without losing one.<\/p>\n
AlphaTauri won the oversized bowling challenge before Red Bull finished first in the final race. During the last sprint, Lawson slid across the truck\u2019s interior, knocking the shifter into neutral and causing the two to lose.<\/p>\n
This was the third round in Red Bull\u2019s (Un)Serious Race Series. Ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo competed in a head-to-head mini jet boat battle. Tsunoda won the competition before claiming a second victory before the Austrian Grand Prix. He and Verstappen raced monster trucks.<\/p>\n
Verstappen would take his kei-truck victory and build off it, winning the Japanese Grand Prix. His first-place finish gave Red Bull enough points to win F1\u2019s Constructors\u2019 Championship for the second year. It has twice as many points as Mercedes \u2013 623 to 305.<\/p>\n
Teammate Perez wasn\u2019t as fortunate in Sunday\u2019s outing, retiring from the race after sustaining damage to his car. He also received two penalties.<\/p>\n
AlphaTauri, Red Bull\u2019s sister team, finished the race mid-pack. Lawson came in 11th ahead of Tsunoda\u2019s 12th-place finish. The team sits last in the constructors\u2019 championship with five points.<\/p>\n
