Finally it is F1 time once again. Suitably there is an F1 related video taht you have to watch. Tom Cruise loves cars and loves driving them fast. His old movie Days of Thunder was inspired from that very passion. He's proved himself to be an apt racer not just on celluloid but even in the real world. He's spent a lot of time at race tracks and is extremely competitive, spare-no-quarter, burn-the-midnight-oil type of guy.
So when Red Bull offered him a chance to drive David Coulthard's F1 car, as they say, he was there! While this news was out a few days back, the video wasn't. So Tom turned up at Willow Springs, Texas (Next year's American Grand Prix is going to be in Austin, Texas remember?) and went through a quick briefing session about the nuances of driving an F1 car with DC before heading out. Anyhow, Tom went out and did many laps, proved himself to be methodical, and quick. And also, human - he had a bit of an off-road adventure. As if driving at over 300kph wasn't enough he then rolled and looped .. no not the F1 car.. a helicopter that was on hand. Catch all of that in the vid right here..
Nice one Cole..
