The video caught the Arizona native walking around with a camera in his hand, searching for a Red Bull member and ultimately finding Alex Albon, who is amidst an intense preparation for his upcoming stint with the Williams F1 team in 2022.

Mac then shot his usual question towards the former Red Bull driver. “Hey! Excuse me, what do you do for a living?” he asked. And Albon replied, “I’m a racing driver for Red Bull Racing Honda.”
