'Brad's got a new movie, with Jerry Bruckheimer, Joe Kosinski,' Cruise said on stage. 'I can't wait to see that this summer. It'll be awesome.'
'It's great to see Brad driving,' Cruise added. 'He's very good. He's a very good driver. Believe me, I've raced against him. When we were doing 'Interview with the Vampire' we'd go and race go-karts. We'd literally finish and go drive go-karts all night.'

'Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled,' Kosinski said. 'They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more.'

'F1' action-vehicle supervisor, Graham Kelly, added: 'We'd have had a crash. Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean really to the limit. That terrifies me. I mean, I've done loads 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, 'Yeah, I'm not going to do that.''
