00:00Congratulations on this film. I heard you shot a lot of this during the actual races.
00:05So what was that like? Was there an adrenaline rush there?
00:07Yeah, we were real prepared though. Joseph had us really prepared and we had these headsets.
00:12So we really had Brad and Damson in the headsets.
00:15So we were all set up to be successful. It was more exciting than nerve-wracking.
00:22What was it like seeing Brad and Damson behind the wheel for the first time?
00:26I watched them once and then I got really nervous and I got kind of scared for them.
00:32So I didn't watch them after that. I just focused on my own stuff.
00:36Would you ever get behind the wheel of an F1 yourself?
00:39No, I like regular cars. I don't need to be good at everything.
00:45What would you say was the biggest adrenaline rush you had while making this film?
00:51Biggest adrenaline? Geez, there's so many.
00:53But I think in Hungary, when we did the park for May, when the cars come in at the end,
00:59it's a good moment for our teams. We had to evoke a really amazing feeling.
01:03And it was a really great moment for the crew and the cast.
01:06We had two takes to get it right.
01:08And it all worked. It was so amazing.
01:11And we just bonded. It was great.
01:13Well, I know a lot of F1 drivers have pre-race rituals and good luck charms.
01:18Do you have anything like that before a shoot?
01:19Not so much for acting, but before I get on a plane, I say in Our Father,
01:24because I went to Catholic school and I touch the outside of the plane.
01:28Yeah.
01:29And aside from F1, what is one summer blockbuster you're really looking forward to seeing?
01:34Ooh.
01:37Hmm.
01:38That's a tricky one now.
01:40I can't say another movie. I'm sorry.
01:43Like, I'm just, I refuse.
01:45There's no other movie.
01:48I mean, there is, but...
01:50Yeah.
01:50And it's F1. F1's the movie of the summer.
01:52Yeah, and if you don't, if you're not into F1, you're still going to like it.
01:56It's a real feel-good movie.
01:58It's a really, it's like, there's a nostalgia element to, like,
02:01those movies you used to watch when you're growing up.
