Scuderia AlphaTauri’s F1 driver Pierre Guthrie had a three-hour dinner alone with NBA legendary basketball player Michael Jordan this week as “the best experience of his life” and forever. I told him I wouldn’t forget.
Pierre Guthrie had the opportunity to meet Michael Jordan, who made the legend at the Chicago Bulls, thanks to his personal sponsor, who is close to Michael Jordan.
Michael Jordan has played 15 seasons in the NBA and won six championships in the Chicago Bulls. He is now the owner of the Charlotte Hornets, but also the owner of the NASCAR Cup Series “23XI Racing.”
“By far, it was the best experience of my life,” said Pierre Guthrie.
“It was the most exciting dinner I’ve ever had. Since I was a kid, I’ve always been inspired by him, his mentality, and the success he’s had in those crescent moons.”
“Everyone says you shouldn’t meet an idol because you’re just disappointed, but I was totally against it.”
“He’s another dimension of genius, and his way of thinking is intelligent. I was very impressed.”
“I didn’t know he was a big F1 fan. He knows sports better than I do. It was very impressive and it’s great to be able to talk to a legend like him. was”
“It was a great dinner. My personal sponsor was very close to him and managed to set it up. It’s a dinner I’ll never forget in my life.”
Pierre Guthrie presented Jordan with a helmet, and the NBA Hall of Fame legend signed Guthrie’s Air Jordan.
“I gave him a helmet. He signed me for Jordan. I’ll put it in a trophy cabinet in the perfect place of the house!” Laughed Pierre Guthrie.
“By exchanging ideas with such champions, we can always learn a lot about them and how they tackle sports, successes and failures.”
“How to maintain this level of performance is important. No one in the world wants to meet more than him.”
The conversation between the two inevitably became the story of Michael Jordan’s NASCAR team, which required Baba Wallace and Kurt Busch.
“Of course, we talked about it, we talked about a lot,” said Pierre Guthrie.
“We spent three hours together. NASCAR talked about motorsport … I didn’t know he got up early Sunday morning to watch the F1 race. He’s a big fan.”
“But for Michael Jordan, attending an event like this isn’t easy. He’s following us without seeing him on the track.”
“I was very surprised at how much he knew about our sport, which shows that he has a great interest in motorsport.”
