While it is no surprise to see a few celebrities out and about the F1 paddocks every time the teams arrive at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix, the fans were overwhelmed to see Tom Cruise there on his 60th birthday! The actor has previously been associated with F1 quite frequently as he had tested a Red Bull Formula 1 car a few years back and he also appeared to support Lewis Hamilton in last year’s 2021 British Grand Prix where the Briton clinched the race win.

If Tom Cruise does prove to be Lewis Hamilton’s lucky charm, then the Mercedes racer might win at Silverstone again this year, thus creating a new World Record for being the only F1 racer with the highest number of victories at a single race track.
