Despite all its criticism, the 2023 Las Vegas GP pulled through and put on a good show. The race was full of drama and had everything bar a red flag. However, the off-track activities were the ones that also took away considerable attention. Among those many activities was the Jimmy Kimmel challenge where the host’s popular sidekick Guillermo made celebrities reveal their favorite F1 car sound.

He asked, “What is your favorite sound the Formula 1 car makes?” Mackie, followed by Sergio Perez, Patrick Dempsey, Charles Leclerc, Yuki Tsunoda, Esteban Ocon, Zak Brown, and last but not least Cara Delevigne. Everyone gave their preference phonetically. However, not the English supermodel and actress.

She instantly said, “The sound, it’s like s*x.” Upon Guillermo’s insistence to elaborate she went into voicing the sound, which was hilarious in itself.
