Invited to the British Grand Prix last weekend, and in immersion with Alpine, Gad Elmaleh launched a little joke which made Charles Leclerc fans react.
Passing through England, Gad Elmaleh was invited by the Alpine team to follow the qualifications of French pilots Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, last Saturday, during the British Grand Prix of Formula 1 at Silverstone Circuit. Asked by Canal + about his experience, the comedian from Morocco embarked on a small humorous flight.
The interpreter of Pet was thus questioned about what he heard on the radio of the two pilots: ” J’entendais des choses incompréhensibles. Back for 4 seconds, for 2 seconds. 2 seconds and a half. Push, push. Verstappen, Leclerc, zéro, two, four, seconds, three “, answered Gad, perfectly English to make fun of the instructions in the language of Shakespeare.

Something to amuse the gallery but also to wince the tifosi of Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari driver author of a laborious start to the season and who finished 4th in England. Gad Elmaleh probably follows the performances of the French pilots as well as the Monegasque, he who was in a relationship with Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco, with whom the comedian had a child.
