In a teaser video released Friday, Formula One driver Fernando Alonso and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series star Jimmie Johnson announced they would be taking part in a car swap on Nov. 26 at the Bahrain International Circuit, one day after the 2018 F1 season finale at Abu Dhabi.
It will be a very extensive exercise, involving not only Johnson, but also members of his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team.
In the video, Alonso says, “I have this vision, too.”
Together, to the two then ask, “Will you let me drive your car?”
The two iconic drivers have been teasing a joint venture through videos posted on social media over the last several weeks.
Alonso’s Formula 1 career started around the same point and has gone 17 full-time seasons, but he will move on to other ventures after the 2018 season. Along with 32 career wins that included two victories in the Monaco Grand Prix, he also claimed the World Championship in both 2005 and 2006.
