Formula 1 has announced a new partnership with leading youth culture brand, Complex, to host a five-part content series, titled ‘The Pit’. The series will consist of F1 themed challenges, hosted by US rapper, A$AP Ferg.

‘The Pit’ premieres Friday, October 4th on Complex.com with weekly episodes airing until the US Grand Prix on November 1.

The new partnership, developed in collaboration with Wavemaker, will provide a greater insight into the world of Formula 1, as Ferg takes viewers on a literal ride through the mechanics of the sport.

Each episode will feature a current F1 driver and team, including Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Daniel Ricciardo and 2007 world champion Kimi Raikkonen. Viewers will see Ferg get his first taste of all things F1 riding shotgun with Sainz in Budapest, as he learns to master the track whilst writing bars at high speed, in a McLaren 720S.
