Few months ago I got to visit the Redbull Hangar 7 in Salzburg and Museo Ferrari, Maranello.
Here are a few pictures from my visit. To be honest Ferrari and Redbull are my two favorite teams so being able to see these two places was simply amazing.
The Redbull Hangar 7 had lots of F1 cars including those driven by Sebastian Vettel , Mark Webber , Kimi raikkonen , David Coulthard , Nigel Mansell and so on . Not only was there a collection of F1 cars but also an amazing set of planes including fighter jets , old war planes , the redbull race planes etc. The Hangar is completely made of glass so there is a 360 degree view of the external surroundings. Located right next to Salzburg airport there is a constant view of private jets and commercial planes.There was also a few Moto GP bikes one of them was Repsol Honda but i don't think I have a good picture of the bikes. Oh ! There is also free WiFi inside the Hangar.
Walking into Museo Ferrari there is a pit board that says :
#ForzaMichael #ForzaJules
The best part of Museo Ferrari for me had to be the trophy room or the "Hall of Victories"
All the trophies and the Championship winning cars that included the 5 of Michael Schumacher's and 1 of Kimi raikkonen. A list of the Ferrari world champions and their respective helmets
Towards the exit there is a Ferrari shop where you can buy plenty of Ferrari Merchandise.
A Ferrari zooming past you on the streets of Maranello will be frequent.
At Maranello i also got to go on drive in a Ferrari California !
You can either drive it yourself if you have your license with you or you get a local chauffeur who will take you around.Our driver told us that police don't even try and stop the Ferraris for "speeding" as there is no point.
There is also an F1 simulator( V8) in the Ferrari shop and you can get 10-15 mins on the simulator for a price (of course).
Legendary Car No.5 of Michael Schumacher.
Hall of Victories: Championship Cars and Helmets

2.Kimi Raikkonen
Museo Ferrari does not only have F1 cars but also a number of Ferrari concept design sport cars . These cars will probably never make it to the road but are sure amazing to look at.
The Hangar 7 and Museo Ferrari are amazing places to visit if you are a Motorsport or just a car fanatic in general. There is plenty of shopping in both the places from team wear to key chains.
If you ever go to Italy or Salzburg do visit these two places.
Until the next race ,
