Looks like the Fast and Furious crew cannot get enough of the F1 adrenaline rush. The Star-Studded Miami Grand Prix is filled with celebrities visiting the paddock all the time. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk were spotted earlier this weekend. But in the other story, Michelle Rodriguez ‘peed her pants’ after a speedy adventure with the F1 star just days after his franchise co-star Vin Diesel started the cringefest in Miami. What was the adventure we are talking about? Let’s find out.

With the new Fast and Furious franchise movie around the corner, Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez paid a visit to the Miami GP paddock. However, things did not go well as Vin Diesel embarrassed himself by asking Oscar Piastri about the mini helmet gifted to him. He asked Piastri if he could pick his own colors and when the Australian replied yes, Diesel went berserk all over the garage.

Fans called Vin Diesel’s reaction a cringefest. Nevertheless, just days after the Vin Diesel video was posted, his co-star Michelle Rodriguez was seen taking the Pirelli Hot Lap challenge with Lando Norris in the driver’s seat driving a McLaren 720s. The Fast and Furious superstar was seen as being very vocal inside the car. After getting out of the car and the adrenaline pumping, Rodriguez said this was the best ride of her life and that she peed herself a couple of times. 

According to the video posted by F1’s official Instagram page, Lando Norris said, “I’m more scared driving this than my race car.” To which Michelle Rodriguez replied, “Don’t tell me that man… Dude, You’re a badass man.”

After the Hot Lap was completed, Rodriguez said, “You know I was blaming it on the fact that he doesn’t have his prefrontal cortex fully grown yet, so that’s why he gave me the best ride ever. Peed my pants a couple of times” “The guy’s amazing, I had a blast.”

Driving in the McLaren 720s must be a great experience for Lando Norris. The Briton recently bought a McLaren 765LT for himself, which he plans on using as a daily driver. However, the 765LT is closely matched by a car, much less in power, as Lando Norris suggested.

In a recent Instagram video uploaded by McLaren’s Instagram page, Lando Norris revealed that he recently bought a $382000 worth McLaren 765LT. However, he also suggested that he hasn’t gotten the chance to drive it yet and that it will be difficult for him to choose a favorite car as he loves his 15 HP Fiat Jolly. The Briton had explained many times how he loves the Fiat Jolly and how it’s the most fun car to drive.

According to Sbnation.com, Lando Norris said, “The Jolly, as you said, was for a while the only car I had to drive in Monaco. No roof, I took the whole roof rack off. 15 horsepower, couldn’t be more opposite to a Formula 1 car.”
