There are likely many common points between the skills necessary to race in F1 and those needed to guide a fighter jet through the skies.

Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas got a sample of the latter earlier this summer when he spent a day with a few of his country's top airmen who flew him by the seat of his overalls.

Tom Cruise recently announced a sequel to his 1986 "Top Gun' blockbuster. Casting for the Hollywood production is currently underway and we can't think of a better wingman to 'Maverick' than Valtteri!
