Formula One Champ To Become Martial Arts Star?

In what would seem like one of the strangest promotional campaigns in recent memory, performance and luxury car maker Infiniti has signed on the talents of 24 year-old (yeah, you read that right), two-time Formula One racing champion, Sebastian Vettel, to star in a martial arts-themed short film. It will be the first in a series of short films planned by the automotive giant. Sebastian is the one on the left by the way.

Vettel is set to co-star alongside Chinese actress/martial-artist Celina Jade. Daughter of martial arts actor Roy Horan, chances are this will be her first introduction to many martial-arts movie fans. It was apparently Jade's task to teach the young racer a thing or two about martial arts in preparation for the film. The short was produced on location just outside of Shanghai.

Fans of kung fu movies, Formula One champions, or attractive female martial artists won't have to wait long to see what all the fuss is about. The short film, titled "Kung Fu Vettel: Drive of the Dragon", is slated for a early May release. At which point you'll most likely be able to find it on our blog.
