Boris Said jokingly slaps Joey Hand at the 2011 Rolex Daytona 24

Racing drivers are a tough lot. Maybe not as touch as they once were, in the days of Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart, Phil Hill, or even Ayrton Senna, but tough nonetheless. They're play can be just as tough, as proven in this video of Boris Said interviewing Joey Hand.

No doubt intended (and received) as a friendly gesture among friends, the gargantuan Said (just look at how he towers over the other drivers) underestimates his own strength, and gives Hand a much-needed shot of adrenaline.
