NBA (DR) / Pierre Gasly (Instagram)
As Pierre Gasly prepares for the next Grand Prix, which will take place on the Florida side in Miami, the Frenchman had the opportunity to meet a very special person: Michael Jordan himself. Time to share a meal with His Airness, but also to exchange some gifts.
While the NBA is getting closer to its end, with a second round of playoffs and a few more weeks of competition, F1 started in mid-March and will continue until next November. Can Max Verstappen do the double? In any case, he hit hard with a great victory on the Emilia-Romagna circuit, ahead of his teammate Sergio Pérez. Pierre Gasly will be disappointed.
Will Michael Jordan bring luck to Pierre Gasly?
By finishing 12th in the race, and therefore outside the points, the Frenchman did not have a productive weekend. He hopes to do it again on May 8, at the Grand Prix in Miami, Florida. And for luck, he was able to dine with an NBA legend: Michael Jordan himself. Maybe the latter will follow the GP, now that the Hornets are on vacation.
As we can see in the three photos shared, Jordan was even able to try on Gasly’s helmet, while signing a pair of Jordans to him in stride. A beautiful memory for the Frenchie, who is clearly over the moon, as evidenced by his caption: “An unforgettable dinner. “Obviously hoping that it brings him luck for the Miami Grand Prix, where Pierre hopes to finish in the points, or even more.
Who knows, maybe this will be an opportunity for His Airness to spin around the paddock, just to meet the different drivers, and all that goes with it. Formula 1 weekends are always a real event, and the perfect time to learn more about the racing conditions: perhaps a sport in which Jordan would like to get involved one day.
While waiting for a possible investment, Jordan will have to emerge victorious from his duel with LeBron James, and we’re not talking about the GOAT at all. The two men find themselves in the finals, in a completely different field, but we imagine that they will be keen to win. On or off the court, the spirit of competition is always present.
Michael Jordan and Pierre Gasly? An unexpected duo, but many beautiful images on arrival. After all, it’s not every day that you meet the legend who won the Monza Grand Prix.
