It's F1 v Sumo! Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat versus some Japanese Sumo Wrestlers. Japanese Grand Prix warm-ups don't get much better!

Daniel and Dany got up bright and early to head to the Miyagino Beya, one of Tokyo's top Sumo stables, where they were introduced to some of biggest, baddest wrestlers in Japan. In Japan sumo wrestlers are members of a sumō-beya, where the wrestlers train and live. After being introduced to the wrestlers that make up the Miyagino stable, Daniel and Dany were first given a demonstration of the wrestlers' training routine, a 30-45 minute workout that involves some serious stretching, a fair degree of room-shaking shouting and then some full on, body-slapping wrestling action.
