1
Here we go.
2
So I am here now.
3
How did he know?
4
He plays a lot this game man.
5
I haven't played in a long time.
6
Respect man.
7
Thank you my brother.
8
I see pizza.
9
Yes we got some pizza coming for you.
10
What was your pizza of choice?
11
Margarita.
12
Dig in though.
13
We got some good pizza here.
14
I love pizza by the way.
15
It's a good slice, right?
16
Good pizza.
17
You know, I've lived in Italy, but I feel like New York pizza has a thing.
18
No, it is.
19
It's like a...
20
Like maybe an Italian wouldn't rate the New York pizza so highly, but for Spanish that I'm more neutral.
21
I love the Italian pizza, the pure Napolitan one, but when I come here, this one does the...
22
Does the job.
23
Yeah, yeah.
24
I actually don't like to tell people this, but I actually am the one who makes the pizza.
25
Really?
26
No. I was like, you're a pro.
27
Do you drive a lot when you're not on the clock working?
28
I drive a lot, but mainly because I like driving myself to places.
29
OK.
30
And this is actually not very common.
31
When I talk to my other F1 drivers, or they prefer to sit on the back and relax, be on the phone.
32
First of all, I feel I'm more efficient.
33
And I feel like when I drive, it's not that I go fast on the road, but I feel like I know my way well.
34
Waste tells me this long it's gonna take, I always feel like I take a bit shorter.
35
In America it's not bad.
36
There's other countries out there like Italy or Spain that is a bit more wild.
37
I feel more comfortable in the wild, wilder wild.
38
I can express more myself.
39
But yeah, in places like London, for example, everyone's, Germany, people are super precise with the indicators and everything.
40
Have you ever gotten pulled over before?
41
Yeah, yeah, yeah, many times, unfortunately.
42
Really?
43
But not for anything too bad.
44
Have you ever had someone recognize you on the road, like maybe drive alongside you and like rev the engine or something to try to race you?
45
Yeah, there's been a few times.
46
When I was living in Italy, there's a race like two hours away from where I was living, so I would just drive to the race.
47
And at the time I had a really nice Ferrari that Ferrari would lend me to drive there.
48
I would suddenly leave the truck, go in the highway and obviously just drive back home.
49
But all the fans from all the race were living also at the same time.
50
In the same direction too.
51
So the whole road was just me and a Ferrari and just two or three cars like following me.
52
Following the F1 driver that they had just watched at the race.
53
Following me back home and I said, should I take the right exit?
54
I don't want people following me.
55
At the last second, just pit.
56
Just get off.
57
Pit entry.
58
It's not every day that I get to sit across from one of the best drivers in the world.
59
And so I want to show you a couple clips
60
or scenes from driving movies and have you just kind of react to them
61
and you let me know how accurate they actually are.
62
This first one is from Fast and Furious, Tokyo Drift.
63
You ever seen the movie?
64
Parking is pretty impressive.
65
If they did that, they're Superman.
66
As someone who has drifted a bunch, is something like that realistic?
67
Well, let's clarify first.
68
I'm not a professional drifter, so I don't know what a professional drifter can do.
69
I know how to drift a car, but not to the level of a professional drifter.
70
My expertise and my experience tells me that filming that scene without a scratch would almost be impossible.
71
I feel like it was filming static and the thing was rotating.
72
You know, rather than...
73
The car moving itself.
74
That gave me the feeling and the vibe.
75
Still, what they did is pretty impressive.
76
Just to come up even with the idea.
77
Yeah.
78
It's quite cool, no?
79
Yes.
80
Have you ever been tempted to like enter into like the street racing scene?
81
Not so much, no. I enjoy circuits
82
because circuit is where you just can go flat out without caring about anything and anyone else.
83
If you get it wrong, you're not harming other people.
84
Right.
85
You're harming yourself.
86
If you had to rate
87
that Tokyo Drift scene on a scale from one to ten in terms of how you feel its accuracy is.
88
It's a ten out of ten in terms of coolness.
89
It's a good effect of laughs out there.
90
In terms of realism, I would say three out of ten.
91
Three out of ten realism.
92
Yeah.
93
Okay.
94
That's real.
95
This next one is from a movie called Talladega Nights.
96
Okay.
97
I heard about this one.
98
Okay.
99
Here we go.
100
It's one of the favorite movies of Alex's album, I think.
101
Oh, he likes his movie?
102
Yes.
103
Oh, dang.
104
The typical gear shit.
105
Okay.
106
That can happen.
107
All right.
108
So this is NASCAR, a little bit different from F1.
109
What is your take on what you just saw there?
110
I think the cars are real.
111
The filming of the cars and the crashes I think are actually real.
112
It's everything that happens inside the cockpit that makes me laugh.
113
You know like all the pa-pa, gear shifts, aggressive gear shifts and the car suddenly moves forward more.
114
It's like, no, that's not.
115
Doesn't really work like that.
116
The talking, the letting the steering go and complaining.
117
We do that a bit in F1.
118
You put the hand up or you complain but I feel like it's always in Hollywood, excited.
119
Yeah, you got to turn it up a bit.
120
So on a scale from one to ten, that same scale we have, what do you rate this scene?
121
I think this one is a bit more realistic, especially the car thing, so I will give it a six out of ten.
122
Okay.
123
Instead of coolness, also a ten out of ten.
124
Ten out of ten.
125
I think there are two good movies.
126
Okay.
127
All right, we got one last one here for you.
128
This last one is a movie that you're probably familiar with.
129
The F1.
130
This is the F1 movie.
131
And now here comes Kevin Magnusson.
132
Slow is smooth.
133
Smooth is fast.
134
Here we go, boys.
135
Here we go, boys.
136
Okay.
137
So this F1 movie, first of all, talk to me about being a part of it.
138
I mean, sharing Paddock with Brad Pitt and all the crew was insane.
139
An incredible experience for all of us.
140
Also, actually getting to see the way they produce it, the way they filmed it, bringing all the same camera material that they used to film Top Gun Maverick,
141
using the same special effects.
142
Amazing.
143
Honestly, what they do, you understand why this industry is so good at it and so famous.
144
And what they did with Formula One, I think what they did was super interesting
145
because they filmed everything on track with us and all the content is inside F1 races.
146
So it gives it an extra level of realism that I think in the film it captivates, you know, it takes you there.
147
All these scenes are real because I've seen them.
148
They were getting real live TV footage of a real F1 race and with the cameras they have, they put the Apex car,
149
which is their thing, on top of your car.
150
So it's me doing me in a normal race, I'm actually racing, and then they put their car on top.
151
How technology can do that, I have no idea.
152
So yeah, as real as it gets, then you have the Hollywood touch, which is maybe what the mechanic says about smooth is fast,
153
fast is smooth, I don't remember.
154
That would come, for example, from our team strategies, would tell really seriously all all the mechanics on the radio.
155
Smooth is fast, take it easy is not a fundamental pitch, but it wouldn't come from shouting a mechanic to another.
156
That's Hollywood.
157
What would you rate that scene on a scale of one to ten?
158
This one, I would say in terms of realism, eight or nine out of ten.
159
And then how about just coolness?
160
Eleven.
161
This is really...
162
I've heard that Brad Pitt said that you have a career in Hollywood.
163
What did you feel when you heard that?
164
If Brad Pitt says it, then I'm waiting for my offers.
165
It's such a tight-knit community.
166
You know, you got 22 full-time drivers.
167
Over the course of a season, maybe a couple other guys pop in.
168
But you guys have all kind of grown up together, known each other for so many years.
169
And so I want to throw some superlatives at you, and you just tell me who it is fits the category best.
170
OK?
171
OK.
172
All right.
173
So we'll start with who do you think is the most naturally athletic?
174
I don't want to sound like that, but I do every sport.
175
If you call me for golf, football, paddle, I can do a decent job at it.
176
And I'll say myself, I think second best, Pierre Gasly is super athletic.
177
Yeah, he has a similar lifestyle in that sense.
178
He loves, now he's into golf, paddle, and he's good at it.
179
So I'll say Gasly, don't say it myself.
180
Who do you think is the driver that is the best dressed?
181
Oof, interesting.
182
I don't rate very highly the way F1 drivers dress.
183
They're pushing it a bit too hard, with all the cameras entering the paddock.
184
Yeah, like a runway.
185
I think it's a bit too much.
186
Okay.
187
I'll give, so I, but fair play to them.
188
If they wanna do it, do it.
189
Not my, like they say in England, not my cup of tea.
190
Which driver do you think is like, before a big media day, is like looking at themselves in the mirror for the longest?
191
I think that's quite easy.
192
I think it will be a big battle between Lewis and George.
193
I knew you were going to say Lewis, but George.
194
Lewis and George.
195
Which driver do you find to be the most competitive, even in just like something that's off the track?
196
Charles Leclerc.
197
He's super competitive.
198
We were extremely competitive.
199
We were playing chess, for example, on airplanes, and he used to get really, really upset when he lost.
200
On track, he also was very competitive.
201
Yeah, I think he's the most competitive.
202
Are you good at chess?
203
I have an app now, chess.com, that I play online.
204
What level are you?
205
Not great.
206
I'm still getting there.
207
I'm working my way.
208
I'm working my way.
209
Yeah, yeah.
210
All right, last one.
211
Which driver do you think secretly loves the attention the most?
212
All of them.
213
All of us.
214
Why do you say all of them?
215
Do you guys really enjoy that?
216
No, I can tell you who doesn't the most.
217
Alex Albon, my teammate.
218
Doesn't like it.
219
He really doesn't like it.
220
He loves the racing and not that he doesn't like he stands good on camera.
221
He does a good job on camera, but he couldn't care less about cameras and attention and fame.
222
He's a very pure spiritual individual.
223
Yeah, he's like really there for what he enjoys doing and I respect him a lot for that.
224
Do you remember what one of like the first big purchases you made was
225
when you got your first big Formula One check?
226
For me, I was seven years in F1 before I bought my first car.
227
Seven years?
228
And that's because I really like my Golf.
229
I mean, it's a great Golf GTI that my parents gave me when I was 18.
230
Famous video on Instagram about that Golf, which we can watch later.
231
Then I became a Ferrari F1 driver.
232
And when I became a Ferrari F1 driver, I was like, okay, now I have access to the most incredible cars in the world.
233
I actually have access to be a collectionist of some of the most exclusive cars in the world
234
and I bought my first Ferrari when I was 27.
235
I bought it because I loved it and
236
and I felt like I need to give myself a bit
237
of a yeah like a price for making it to Ferrari as an F1 driver.
238
Do you think F1 drivers get enough credit for being as athletic as they are?
239
I don't think so I don't think people realize how physical and F1 carries.
240
I think they just imagine us sitting down and driving, you know, like you are in a car.
241
But then once you introduce the speed that we go and the G-force, that raises your heart rate to around 160 beats per minute.
242
I don't know if you do a lot of sport.
243
Yeah, but I don't measure my heart rate.
244
You don't measure your heart rate.
245
It's like if you start running at fast pace.
246
But we do that for an hour and a half.
247
So yeah, by the end of the hour
248
and a half race we've probably consumed as many calories or as much effort as a half marathon, to give you an example.
249
Plus we need good neck muscles and shoulders, core, glutes to sustain all the g-force that goes through your body.
250
I think the closest thing to it would be a fighter jet.
251
You're sitting down, you're just piloting, but the forces that you see in a fighter jet is is maybe to a lesser scale,
252
lower scale, what we're doing in Formula One.
253
Everyone always talks about the reflex of Formula One drivers.
254
You'll see videos of you guys going hundreds of miles an hour
255
and your ability to just kind of like move out the way at the last second is incredible.
256
So I wanted to play this game with you that we play.
257
I don't know if you guys played in Europe, but in America growing up we play it, where you put your hands on top of somebody else.
258
I go like this and I have three chances to try to hit your hand
259
and you have to move it out the way.
260
But can you do both at the same time or one?
261
Yes, both at the same time.
262
And we'll do three each.
263
Careful with my hands.
264
I will, don't worry.
265
Keep me hard.
266
Doesn't matter.
267
Okay, I got one.
268
That does count?
269
I hit it!
270
Okay, so it has to really...
271
Okay, alright, alright, here we go.
272
That was one.
273
Keep me hard.
274
Oh good one!
275
That was good!
276
I like the little...
277
You caught me there!
278
One more, one more!
279
Then I hit you, yeah?
280
Yeah, then you!
281
Okay!
282
Does that count or no?
283
No, so one!
284
Two, I give you two!
285
Two out of three!
286
The first one and the second!
287
Alright!
288
Here we go!
289
So I am here now, yeah?
290
Yes!
291
How did he know?
292
This guy plays a lot this game man.
293
I haven't played this in a long time.
294
Respect man.
295
Thank you my brother.
296
You played?
297
Not in a long time.
298
Okay.
299
Decor.
300
That was a good one.
301
He rocked me to sleep there.
302
I wanted to see how I'm comfortable with you.
303
Man you don't.
304
I was I'm starting.
305
I'm trying to win.
306
That's what I did.
307
All right one more.
308
That was a good one now.
309
You caught it.
310
All right last one Pick no, you didn't bite.
311
He's getting never bites lights
312
Good stuff, Carlo.
313
That was very good.
314
What do you what do you got going on?
315
What are you promoting?
316
Nothing.
317
I'm just here Why am I here?
318
I'm going to Canada tomorrow to an F1 race.
319
Before we go Let's take a picture so that we can put it up on the wall with everyone else.
320
One, two, three.

Practice Tips
To effectively practice your speaking skills using this video transcript, consider the following tips based on the conversation speed and tone:
- Slow Shadowing: Start by listening to the segment at a slower speed. As you become comfortable with the tone and rhythm, gradually increase the speed. This will help you adapt to natural speech patterns.
- Shadow Speech: As you listen, try to repeat what is said simultaneously. This technique, known as shadow speaking, allows you to practice pronunciation and intonation. Focus on mimicking the speaker’s tone, emphasis, and energy.
- Break It Down: Divide the transcript into manageable parts. Work on one sentence or phrase at a time, ensuring you understand and can pronounce it correctly.
- Record Yourself: Use your phone or computer to record your voice as you practice. Comparing your recording with the original audio can help you identify areas for improvement.
- Engage in Conversation: Try to incorporate new phrases in your daily conversations or practice with a partner. This not only reinforces your learning but also enhances your English speaking practice in real-life scenarios.
Using these methods will improve your shadowing skills and help you become more fluent in English, making conversations feel more natural and expressive.
Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
