Talking about his love for Formula One, he expressed: “I started watching a little before Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost. Michael Schumacher obviously was amazing, but now we have Lewis Hamilton.”

Castagnoli is a Hamilton fan as well. He added that the seven times world champion will fit well in the ring as he got some great moves in his arsenal.

The Swiss-born AEW star was one of the F1 guests on the weekend. Moreover, the 6feet 5 inches, 230lb athlete squeezed right into AlphaTauri’s STR14 car.

Furthermore, the former tag team champion wanted to make a historic entrance at the WWE live show in London with the STR14 car. He stated: “I actually wanted to drive a race car to the ring. However, I don’t think they’ll let me.”
