It pays to be a big man in the NBA, but being almost 7 feet tall is not so helpful when trying to get in a Formula One car.

Serge Ibaka found that out as he visited McLaren at the Canadian Grand Prix, posting the footage on his Instagram feed. The 6-10 Raptors center was unable to even get his knees in the cockpit of the MCL33.

Ibaka was, however, able to study the steering wheel and posed for a picture with two-time world champion Fernando Alonso.

Alonso failed to finish at the Monaco Grand Prix last time out, so will be looking to replicate Ibaka and rebound in Canada.
