“I wanna be where the people are. I wanna see, wanna see ’em dancin’. Walking around on those, what do you call ’em?” Oh, racetracks. In a surprising turn of events, fans of Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid” have taken to social media, comparing Halle Bailey’s preparation for the role of Ariel to the rigorous training of a Formula 1 driver. As Bailey’s physical conditioning regimen is revealed, fans are jokingly claiming that she is not only F1 ready but could even win the WDC.

The release of “The Little Mermaid” live-action remake has received mixed reviews, but Halle Bailey’s portrayal of Ariel is being hailed as the perfect characterization. Behind the scenes, Bailey faced a challenging training regime to embody the graceful mermaid.

Photos shared on Twitter showcased her physical preparation, which included wearing weighted headgear to strengthen her neck muscles—an essential requirement for enduring the intense G-forces. Formula 1 drivers endure extreme G-forces while navigating high-speed corners and aggressive braking zones. These forces can subject drivers to up to 5g, making neck strength crucial for both performance and safety. By strengthening her neck muscles through her conditioning regimen, Bailey has inadvertently showcased a characteristic shared by F1 drivers.

This parallel between the world of Disney and motorsport has sparked the imagination of fans and brought an unexpected connection between two seemingly unrelated domains. Fans have playfully suggested that Halle Bailey’s training for “The Little Mermaid” has equipped her to handle the demands of Formula 1 racing. Could this Disney princess turned mermaid champion conquer the world of Formula 1?
