racetrack listen it's just all been
great I mean the vibe's amazing you know

in this way and get to tell our story
and everyone's been really cool with us
all the teams have opened their doors
for us the uh FIA Muhammad have like
been really helpful and and uh F1
Stefano everyone has just been really
really amazing that we can do this and
it's going to be really good yeah it's
good this is the next big story for
Formula One the this obviously sort of
Hollywood style movie what can I know
it's Untitled what can you tell us
roughly about the movie so far I would
be a guy who raced in the 90s in fact I
would have been on the track with you at
some point yeah and so we got to get you
got to do a cameo I'd love to all right
so and he has a horrible crash kind of
craps out and disappears and then he's
racing in other disciplines and then his
friend played by about them it's a team
owner
they've never their last place team
they're 21-22 on the grid they've never
scored a point and uh
they have a young Phenom uh played by
damn sedris and uh he brings me in as a
kind of a Hail Mary and hijinkson suit
tell you what's amazing about it like
you'll see the cameras mounted all over
the car
shots you've never seen speed you've
never seen uh uh just the g-forces like
this it's it's really really exciting so
had you ever driven a racing car before
on track no I have bikes more bikes I'd
spent last 20 years on bikes on tracks
so I mean that helped a lot yeah so the
racing line I know you've got some Young
Guns showing you the way around like
Lucci pachetto in the gang yeah listen
listen it's really humbling I mean I
don't know if you can call mine a hot
lap I call it kind of a warm lap you
know I've taken a few tours
unintentionally you know through the
grass and but it's been it's just been
such a high oh good so you haven't hit
anything hard yet then no only my ego
you know were you nervous when you went
out today
no I really wasn't I mean the guy's
really prepared me well and um
you know there's a couple of Corners I I
can see the stands but you know on the
straights you have a little bit of time
to kind of look around but uh no I'm
really really focused on the lines and
what we're trying to create in these in
these moments wait I want to say I wanna
I wanna for us I want to say
you know for all the armchair experts
out there you got to give us a little
breathing room if you see any spin outs
or something that looks like it's a
stall or something like that it's by
Design okay but I do know like in the
garage everything's gonna be really
authentic people you've got Formula One
experts in there to make sure this is
the real deal that's right we got Trevor
Carlin's team and they've been
Sensational and keeping us safe and and
training us and really operating the
show like like the real thing it should
be as authentic as we can get it and uh
you know Lewis who's also our producer
is really really intent that we
you know that we respect the sport that
we really show it through what it is and
I got to tell you as a as a civilian I
had I had no idea I had no idea what it
takes to be a driver and the the the
aggression and dexterity and they're
amazing athletes and I got so much
respect for it everyone out there in all
classes thank you for coming to make a
movie on our wonderful sport of Formula
One and I'm so happy to see you enjoying
