Red Bull hosted Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone during last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza, which was comfortably won by the team’s driver Max Verstappen.
Before the race, the Rocky star enjoyed a laugh with team principal Christian Horner – but what were the pair discussing that was seemingly so amusing?

Rising up, back in the seat
Set my time, took my chicanes
Went the distance, now I’m on the timesheet
Just a man and his drive to survive

Starting up, back from the grid
I was too slow, cut the chicanes
Drove at limit, now I’m on the gravel trap
Just a man and his drive to survive
So many times I have been lapped
I want to be the headline story
Closed my eyes to believe I’m the champ
It’s hard to lust from bottom of the list
I’m not the tiger
I’m the last cub of the litter
Crashing up like De Cesaris to the wall
And the first non finisher
Stalks the race in the boats
But still racing with us with the passion of the tiger
Race to race, from 20th to 19th
Hanging tough, staying hungry
He don’t have the odds but he is taking his time
Goes for the move with points in mind
I have stripes of the tiger
I’m getting hang of the fight
Rising up from the pit lane to the points
And the last point finisher
Stalks the podium from the cockpit
And he is getting there with the heart of the tiger
Driving hot straight to the top
Has the skill, smells the glory
Got the pole, now I’m not going to stop
Just a lap and he has survived
I’m the eye of the tiger
I’ve the thrill for the fight
Driving up to the podium more than once
And the first to cross the line
Looks his mirrors to see the shine
And he’s celebrating on the top with eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger
The eye of the tiger

Horner: Are you sure that this explosive arrowhead is necessary for Verstappen’s car?
Stallone: I am telling you. If Max and Lewis get tied in the championship, this will be your tie-breaker.

No I’m not messing with you. They actually had a dummy car, fake sidepods and all, in Barcelona, thinking they had 1,5 seconds over anybody else. Then they removed the sandbags and the bouncing started, you should have seen their faces.
