The Miami Drive-In | George Russell and Kimi Antonelli take a ride in a Mercedes-AMG SL 63

All right, Kimi, so this is the return of Russell's Taxi Rides. You ready? Yeah. Where do you want to go? South Beach? It's my first time here. OK, we'll try and take you to some good places. Yeah. We'll have a think. South Beach is pretty cool. Downtown Miami is pretty cool. The houses here are amazing. Well, let's say it's a cool place. It's a very cool place. All right, let's do it. We need a bit of Will Smith on the go here, don't we? Oh, yeah, exactly. Well, let's see if I can connect my phone, actually. We'll probably get told off for the copyright. But who cares? We're in Miami. So hot here. It's so humid. But it's really cool. Like, it's so nice. Like, everyone is walking down the beach. Everyone in the morning is running. It's like it feels like quite a healthy, healthy place over here. It's a really, it's a really cool vibe. Yeah. Are there any places you wanted to go or you've seen that you really want to see? Well, it's, oh, actually here there's a really famous street, no? This is nice. I don't know what this section is called, but it reminds me of a lot of L.A., like with Santa Monica Beach. Yeah, this feels like the Miami version. But really, it's a really cool vibe. But it's cool. They've got the outdoor gyms and you see these guys, like Muscle Beach. Everyone just... But the outdoor thing is cool. It's really cool. This is where you can imagine like our trainers just there in the morning. Yeah, getting pumped. This is cool. Like this guy just cycling with his music. Yeah. I like your music, my friend. It's like he's in a world of his own. It's too much in the zone. Yeah, he's just vibing. Also, so many people, like, just going shirtless. I know. This is my place. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. We've just been overtaken by a lady on a scooter. Zooming along. And what about the weekend? Is it a cool weekend? It's a really cool weekend. It's crazy busy. Usually you have like so many people there and the paddock isn't so big. So it's often quite like crammed in and it's so hot and so humid. But you'll enjoy it a lot. The track's actually really cool. Yeah. Like the first sector and a half, or the first sector especially, is super nice. Really fast and flowing. Turn eight is really challenging, the long left-hander. But it's different, like it's a real challenge. Yeah, it doesn't look easy. No, it's not. I think you'll enjoy it though. And then the race, like the sun is so strong as well. So you're in the car like sweating. It's hot. So much. Yeah, it is. This is one of the toughest. 2022, I lost 3.8 kilos in the race. Really? Yeah, it was... That's a lot. It was a heavy one. Which race have you enjoyed the most so far? Well, to be honest, all of them. Yeah. I mean, it's cool. It's a new experience every time. But really looking forward to this one. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, the place is super nice. The vibe is cool. Melbourne, Miami, Montreal, Austin, they all have like a bit of a similar atmosphere. Obviously, very different places, but just different ways. It's like a really cool atmosphere in the city and very vibrant. I love that with the palm trees. Yeah. I woke up this morning at like six because of the bit of jet lag. Yeah. And it's just so nice seeing the sunrise. And then there was a shark in the water yesterday. Yeah, I mean, yesterday I did... I did wake surfing in the sea. Really? That's very brave. And honestly, I was a bit nervous. Yeah, I bet you was. I bet you was. In the sea, I was like... I just fell off from the board and I see this thing on the water. Yeah. And like, I got so scared. Already? Yeah, because I thought it was like a shark or something. But at the end of the day, it was a duck. It was a duck? Yeah, a duck. But I could just see in the moment, I could just see the head. But I didn't realise it was a duck. Look at that guy. Oh, he's doing muscle pull-ups. Yeah, there's like one of the muscle beach. That's cool. So this guy is brave in his blue underwear. Is that Valtteri? I think that's Valtteri walking over there in the blue underwear. Must be. Probably wouldn't be wearing that Valtteri. It would be like fully... He's wearing too much clothes, Valtteri. It's a good track. The racing is quite good as well, with like the three DRS. Pretty long straight too. Yeah, for sure. Man, I'm burning here. Should we put the roof up? Yeah. Get them roasting. Oh, sorry, man. No, no, don't worry. Took your hand off there.
