00:00It felt just like theatre, like waiting in the wake, just waiting to be called to go onto the
00:20grid or whatever we were filming. Sometimes we only had like five minutes or ten minutes of
00:24access to fill the scene. Every time we were like filming on the grid or Parc Ferme, we would
00:30all be like gassed up and excited and getting ready together. Brad would be playing music.
00:36Yeah, even talking about it makes me happy to see, you know, it was just indescribable.
00:50Once in a lifetime experience, I'm so grateful to be part of that film.
00:54Part of the long journeys that their group endured in making it.
00:59We got to experience everything in real time, at the real races, the real Grand Prix, like
01:04the roar of the crowds, the roar of the engines, the chaos energy. And yeah, I got to travel
01:13all over the world.
01:14I'm just very grateful to be part of this movie. And I think my preparation for it was
01:27just to be part of the team and to just, you know, immerse myself within it all. I made
01:32some great friends in this film, which really meant a lot to me.
01:43Well, F1's just getting bigger and bigger. And I think, you know, movies, it's an emotional
01:48engagement to the world. And I think that's what F1 is going to experience. And people are
01:54just going to really feel it as well as see it and experience speed in a way that they've
02:00never experienced.
