The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon was present at the Miami Grand Prix as a guest of Ford, which gave him the chance to ask Red Bull Racing drivers Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar some questions. However, the conversation was interrupted, after which Fallon got to ride along in two of the American automaker's iconic cars. During the show, Fallon already talked about his adventures in the
Formula 1 paddock. Proudly, he showed a photo of himself with Verstappen and several other well-known
F1 figures. He also discussed his on
interview on the grid with Martin Brundle that went viral.

Over the race weekend, Fallon also filmed a sketch involving Verstappen and Hadjar. The conversation was abruptly cut off by a Ford engineer, who kept interrupting the host with car facts while he was trying to continue his questions. Verstappen then decided to leave Fallon alone with the engineer. “I’ll leave you with him. See you later,” the Dutchman says, after which he and teammate Hadjar walk away. The American is left stunned: “Isack? Max?”
After this, Fallon is taken for some off-road driving in the F-150 Raptor R, supposedly to take part in the Kentucky Derby. Once there, the duo are told they’re a day early, so they decide to put in some miles in a Mustang Dark Horse instead.
