Sport Stars Take On Puma’s F1 Challenge
Puma has launched its next Race Off campaign video, this time with Manchester United footballer Michael Carrick taking on the challenge, with just three sports stars remaining to try and beat F1 driver Nico Rosberg’s time on a simulated track of Monza.
Before his own performance in the simulator, Michael Carrick said: ‘I enjoy motor racing and I started watching Formula One probably about seven or eight years ago. The thrill of putting in a decent lap on the track is a great buzz and I am interested to see what time I can produce.’
This summer, Formula One driver Nico Rosberg challenged some of the best from the world of sport to try their hand in Formula One.
Puma Race Off sees sporting stars such as Sergio Agüero, Cesc Fàbregas, Michael Carrick and many more given the chance to prove their talent in the fastest sport – the fastest will have the opportunity of a driving lesson from Nico, before putting their skills to the test in a high-performance Mercedes-Benz car around a real racing circuit.

Nico Rosberg commented: ‘Puma Race Off is a very interesting concept and I really like the idea of merging different sport categories. I am intrigued to see how all these top athletes perform in a real sport!’
