Feel the Gs: When F1 Power Meets UFC Strength

Feel the Gs returns with two new challenges and two elite athletes stepping into the spotlight. F1 driver Carlos Sainz and former UFC champion Dricus du Plessis arrive ready to test their strength, focus and endurance on a set of brutal, G-force-inspired tasks. From the weighted steering rig designed to mimic high-speed cornering, to the neck-pull challenge that recreates the pressure an F1 driver feels every lap, the duo push themselves to their limits while learning just how physically demanding each other’s sport truly is.

What follows is a mix of intensity, laughter and raw competitiveness. Dricus battles the shifting 20-kg steering weight and counter-pulling straps, while Sainz guides him through long corners, snap-backs and straights. Then both athletes face off in a neck-strength test that leaves even the presenter wincing. Between joking threats, genuine admiration and unexpected surprises, the episode delivers non-stop entertainment — and ends with both stars gaining a newfound respect for one another’s disciplines.
