VIDEO: Jimmy Butler Freaking Out as a Passenger in a Formula 1 Car is Gold
By Michael Luciano
While Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler has built this ethos of a tough guy around the NBA who isn't going to back down from anyone or anything, he couldn't stop himself from almost breaking down in tears in a Formula 1 car. In a ride along with F1 driver Lando Norris, Butler spent the majority of his car ride having a panic attack.
I guess that's what going near 200 miles per hour will do to you.
Keep in mind when watching this video the fact that Norris is the youngest F1 driver at 19 years old and remained ice cool, while the 29-year-old Butler was having a meltdown.
After this video, we NEED more NBA/F1 crossover content. Imagine Kawhi in one of those things!
For as gruff, hard-nosed, and fiery a personality and a player Butler can be when he's on the court, it looks like Formula 1 can make even him lose his composure.
