Tom C⛎ruise would have “scared” the director of ‘F1’ more than Brad Pitt had he been cast in the lead rolꦏe.

Pitt stars in the leading role in the upcoming F1 film as Sonny Hayes, a former driver who returns to F1 alongside Damson Idris as his rookie teammate at A🅘PXGP, a fictional team on the grid. 

The movie, which will be released internationally on 25 June, has been produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, while seven-time world champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton has played an advisory role.

‘F1’ movie director Joseph Kosinski, who wor💧ked with Cruise on ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, admitted that the 62-year-old Hollywood star “always pushes it to the limit”.

🔜“Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,” Kosinski told

“They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I 🔥could see Tom ma𝕴ybe scaring us a little bit more.”

Graham Kelly, an action-vehicle supervisor who has worked with Cruise on the ‘Missi🍷on Impossible’ films, agreed with Kosinski’s ass𒆙essment.

“We’d have had a crash,” Kelly said. “Tom pushes it to 🐎the limit. I mean&𒁏nbsp;really to the limit. That terrifies me.

“I mean, I’ve done loa🐈ds of ‘Mission: Impossibles’ with Tom and it’s the most stressful experience for someone like me building cars for him, doing stunts with him.

“Whereas Brad listens and he knows his abilities, and I think he’d be the first 💛to say, ‘Ye🎃ah, I’m not going to do that.’”

F1 drivers speak highly of movie

All of the F1 drivers barring Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll g꧅ot to watch a private screening of the new movie ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix.

The film was praised by F1 drivers, particul♊arly for its actio𓆏n sequences.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc said: "It was really cool. Obviously, we are looking at it as Formu�ܫ�la 1 drivers, and we always try and see all the small details that are not exactly the way we live things.

“But it's very Hollywood-like, and I think that's reꦆally cool because it's not just for F1 drivers in the end. It's for a broa♓der audience, and I thought it's absolutely great for the sport to have a movie like that.”

Alpine’s Pierre Gasly added: "It looked great. For Formula 1, for the spo𝓀rt, it's an amazing opportunity to dive into our world."

Hamilton admitted he was “nervou꧑s” for his fellow drivers to see the film he helped produce.

“It was great to look around and see some of the reactions from the dﷺrivers,” Hamilton said. “I really care what the drivers think and I wanted them to think highly of it… I was sat in the middle and I was nervous.

﷽“I messaged them afterwards, welcoming their honest opinions about it… the timing may be off on ♎a strategy stop or whatever it might be, but I think the great thing is the sound is great, the image is incredible, it's something that's never been done before so I'm really proud.”
