Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly are fond of NBA, and there is no secret about that. The two have often visited multiple NBA matches whenever they are in the United States or have free time.
Pierre Gasly is even one of those rare people who the GOAT Michael Jordan has invited for dinner. So, there is no denying that two love the game and wouldn’t mind watching its four quarters.
Currently, F1 is going through the offseason, but there is not en tough time in their hands before they would have to report back to their teams as the winter testing is almost a month away.

Steaming off with NBA in Europe
In a series of photos released by the NBA, the two F1 stars are seen posing with former basketball stars like Tony Parker and Joakim Noah. Meanwhile, Money Heist actor Darko Peric was also there.
All these stars were there at an event hosted by NBA in Paris. The official handle of NBA Europe captioned its first photo as “Warning: Never leave your phone unattended!” hinting their device was hijacked by Leclerc and Gasly.
They then suggested their followers swipe right to see more photos. It showed the highlights from the event and had these stars pose together.
Charles Leclerc is coming back for the title
In 2022, Leclerc had to see several heartbreaks when he lost to Max Verstappen in several races, which resulted at the end of his title campaign. The Monegasque race driver had to settle for the runner-up spot.
But ahead of the new season, some positive news is coming from Ferrari’s camp. It has been reported that their new project has delivered an improvement of over a second compared to their last year’s car on the simulator.
It’s a big boost for him as he wishes to contest for the title next year. On the other hand, Pierre Gasly will be plying his trade with Alpine from next season.
Though, he will not be contesting for the title. Instead, he would be more involved in the midtable battle against McLaren and maybe Aston Martin if they show significant growth this year.
