Nick Saban has always been a fan of cars.

His interest in his Mercedes dealership as well as Ferrari is well documented. Now, he is stepping it up.

The “College GameDay” analyst took a spin in a Mercedes’ F1 vehicle, which will be highlighted on Saturday during the broadcast from Austin.

The show will highlight Saban, 72, taking laps in Mercedes’ F1 vehicle. Saban will do a hot lap or two around the Circuit of the Americas in “Mercedes’ F1 vehicle,” according to AdWeek.

Formula 1 United States Grand Prix takes place in Austin the Sunday after “GameDay” features the Texas-Georgia game.
