Driver?s Parade: A Fluff Lap in Old American Convertibles [2012 F1 U.S. Grand Prix]

Every F1 race features a driver?s parade before the drivers take to the starting line, and today?s contest at the Circuit of the Americas was no different. Except it was; this is Texas, and parading the F1 drivers around the track in some funny European car just wouldn?t do. Instead, the racers took to the track in a stream of old American droptops, bookended by the FIA?s Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and C63 AMG wagon safety cars. Sebastian Vettel, who placed first in yesterday?s qualifying session to win pole today, rode out in a 1960s Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, but Detroit iron like a Chevelle SS, first-generation Ford Mustang, and a ?70s Cadillac Eldorado also were part of the show.
