About two years ago, in the middle of the pandemic, F1 drivers came together for a spontaneous, fun, and games kind of interview with a few questions with Sky Sports F1. McLaren’s Lando Norris, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, Williams’ Alex Albon, and Mercedes’ George Russell got together for some laughs.

The F1 men played a fun game during one of the most isolating times in human history. They seem joyous and excited to play and giggle and tease each other; which made for one of the most fun interviews of the four!

The men were seen with buzzers in their hands. This game required them to answer the interviewer’s questions about a driver in particular. The remaining three men were to hit their buzzers if they wished to answer and the one to buzz first would answer the question. Which is then reviewed to see if it is in any way accurate.

One segment involved a bunch of questions regarding the crowd’s favorite, George Russell. And the remaining three didn’t miss a single opportunity to tease the young man.

As the questions progressed, the game got funnier. At one point, the interviewer asked the boys, How many topless pictures has George posted on Instagram? Is it a) 15  b)5  c)13?”

The three men burst out in laughter, even before the interviewer could finish her question. And as soon as she did, Charles, without missing a single beat, blurted out, “13!”
Norris, then, joined in saying, “Too many, too many! Yeah, too many. Spot on 13!”

Russell, however, believes to have posted only ‘three’ on the contrary. The three men were quick to shun Russell as they disagreed in unison and continued their laughing riot.

On sillier subjects, they even delved into the last potential emoji George may have used on his phone.

As they continued to play the questions game, the interviewer sprung yet another goofy question at the men. She asked if they could guess the last emoji amongst George’s frequently used emojis. And the men fought with their buzzers to answer first.

Charles Leclerc happened to buzz sooner than all others. And just as he was about to answer, he quiet down saying, “No no no, I was going to say something but I better not say it!”

And the men chuckled away. Albon, then, stepped in. He said, “Winky face?”

George, who, by now, was extremely amused, said, “It’s not. It’s the laughing face.” As the young lad shared this information, he faced his entire phone screen to the camera, not just revealing the last emoji, but all of them together!

To this, the interviewer concluded, saying, “He’s a brave man showing us all the emojis.”
