The announced collaboration between Red Bull Racing and Ford started a media push in the United States. Several tv shows had people from Ford commenting on the deal with the Austrian team. Sergio Perez and team boss Christian Horner were also featured on tv.
The pair and Ford CEO Jim Farley were guests on Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Show on Friday. The host once got to take a seat in a Ford rally car driven by Farley last year. All shaken up, Fallon left the car after racing on the dirt track. Despite this, Fallon received the invitation to take a seat in a Ford racing vehicle again. He even got to compete against Perez at the go-kart track in New Jersey.
In Formula 1, Perez regularly is best of the rest. The big question, of course, is: how much distance will he put on Jimmy Fallon in their race?
