Fernando Alonso may have just called time on his Formula 1 career at the Abu Dhabi GP, but the two-time F1 champion was straight back on track on Monday to take part in a special one-off NASCAR test.
Alonso flew to Bahrain immediately after the F1 2018 finale to swap jobs for the day with seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, who drove an F1 car for the first time.
Sky Sports F1 was in attendance to watch the special event.
