CANAL+ wanted us to show what a driver feels when leaving F1 to dive into IndyCar.

I’ve been lucky enough to film on Formula 1 circuits several times with CANAL+, but this was my first time on an IndyCar track.

While @alexgohari and @remivorano were filming other sequences in different locations across the United States, my friend @leo._.mattei and I spent 2 days in Saint Louis, Missouri for a special sequence with Romain Grosjean. There, he completed an incredible 520 laps in just 2 hours and 25 minutes, with his heart rate constantly pounding between 155 and 185 bpm! The physical and mental endurance required is simply staggering.

Thank you to the entire team for making this possible.
