“Can’t Believe We Just Saw Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig”: Sergio Perez and Christian Horner ‘Confused’ as Hollywood Stars in Las Vegas

With less than 100 days to go before F1 makes its grand debut in Las Vegas, Red Bull has come up with a brilliant promotional video for the mega event. One of the funniest parts of the video involves Christian Horner and Sergio Perez being mistaken for Hollywood stars Daniel Craig and Tom Cruise respectively.

The video follows a grasping storyline revolving around a wild night spent in Vegas by Perez. From betting in casinos to racing in deserts, the story ends with Perez losing his $14,000,000 Red Bull F1 car.

The video also shows the Mexican in conversation with his team principal Horner, trying to explain how his night went. He was unaware of the fact that Horner already knows about the lost car.

A wild night in Las Vegas for Sergio Perez

The video then shows an old couple coming out of the elevator after having been in it with Perez and Horner. While on their way out, the old woman says, “I can’t believe we just saw Tom Cruise.” To which the old man replies, “And Daniel Craig.”

After being flabbergasted for being mistaken for famous Hollywood stars, Horner keeps up his questioning. The team boss asks if Perez simply returned the car after having his wild night out.

However, Perez has a quite intriguing story to tell. He explains that he was going to return it, when Mat Franco, a renowned American magician, suddenly decides to make the car disappear as part of his trick.

Perez is finally left standing on the road with the steering wheel in his hand and the car nowhere to be found. Horner then reveals to him that he has already found the car. It was on top of a building in the city.

Perez’s face off with another Red Bull driver

Another interesting part of the promotional video focuses on Perez having a racing duel with another Red Bull backed driver, Bryce Menzies. The American off-road racer challenges Perez to a face-off in the deserts to which Perez agrees.

The two Red Bull athletes proceed to tear up the deserts, racing through the sand. Finally, Perez manages to beat Menzies on the line by a few millimetres.

The video then transitions to and focuses on the new Vegas GP track that makes it’s way through the famous casinos and luxury hotels. Overall, it is very clear that Formula 1 along with all the teams are extremely hyped up for the brand new race in Sin City.
