Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon will be looking forward to this weekend's Australian Grand Prix, and they've warmed up by playing basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Formula 1 is back in Oz this weekend after 2020 and 2021 saw the race postponed and it's certainly great to have the prospect of the cars roaring around Albert Park once more.

The drivers will be on maximum attack and, hopefully for Alpine's sake, their drivers' skills behind the wheel will be better than when they've got a basketball in their hands.

In fairness to them, they did show a little bit of promise at times but then at others both Alonso and Ocon showed that driving is very much their forte and playing basketball is not.

Take a look at the full clip below, courtesy of Sky Sports F1 on Twitter:

Alpine have had a solid start to the season and will feel as though they can be competitive and challenge for good points again this weekend in Melbourne.

Both Alonso and Ocon appear to be enjoying their jobs at the moment, too, and that should only spur the team on to higher heights.
